I like the 25lb tactical angler clips

So what you’re saying is every time I snag the bottom with mono I should change my line?

So how is one supposed to break off from shore? If fishing mono and you pull to break off the line should be changed?

after I spool my mono I tie it to a fixed object and walk about half the spool off and stretch the line to reduce line twist and memory. Never had an issue. Can’t comment on fluoro since I don’t use it

So today I pre set my drags at the house before heading to the lake. After fishing a bit I tested the drags again on both of my spinning rods and the drags were considerably tighter than when i had set them earlier. Does cold weather have an effect on spinning reel drags?

I have been very pleased with daiwa fury series. I own 6 and have been fishing three for 3-4 seasons now

Has anyone else experienced original power pro fraying, particularly towards the end of the line where it runs through guides from the reel to the lure?. I’ve had power pro begin to start looking fuzzy after lots of use and many casts but this seems to be actual fraying I have been using power pro for about 15 years and have never had an issue until this season. This was all new braid purchased this year. this happened on 3 different rods with 15, 20, and 30lb braid. No issues with 50lb on frog rod. And yes I’ve checked my rod guides for cracks

Fluoro has just as much stretch as mono. I use it more than any other line bass fishing.

Does this line actually have less memory than trilene xl? I’ve been meaning to try a spool preferably 6 and 8lb on spinning reels

Huddleston and keitech easy shiner or keitech swing impact

I have the shims was just wondering if I left it like this would it have any effect on performance. I just spoiled brand new line on and don’t want to take it off

My Stradic FK has the line more spooled towards the front of the spool versus the rear and being perfectly even, It is not by much but does this have any impact on reel performance or casting?

Interesting the distance with the ball head and keitech on braid was quite a bit shorter than with the mono

So I have been doing some experimenting with 6-8lb mono vs 10-15lb braid on spinning reels. While casting senkos, Ned rig, and keitech on an 1/8oz ball head I’ve found mono to cast further than the braid which is the exact opposite of what you read about casting distances with these two lines. The light mono also appears to just cast smoother overall. Trilene xl and original power pro were used. Just thought I’d share my experience

Crank baits Ned rig jig

Never understood the hype with pflueger, especially the president. Every one I bought ohad terrible line lay which caused wind knots. I own the new sienna and for $30 they get the job done just fine. Tackle warehosue runs 20% off on the Black Friday sale

It was the mainline, 20kb power pro that was breaking. It was breaking right above the knot. Haven't had any problem since I changed my line knock on wood

When I make the overhand loop I am tightening it all the way.the few videos I just watched say not to do this as it can cause the line to cut into itself and you are supposed to cinch. everything all at once

Is it possible I'm cinching it down to tight? I am really pulling on it but didn't think it would really be possible for me to break 20lb braid by hand

Breaking Breaking and the knot still looks fine. It's almost like the manline is breaking right above or inside the knot

20lb power pro tied to swivel and my knot keeps failing. Never had an issue before. I had 3 year old braid on and thought it was the line so changed the line and it still continues happening. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for replies guys but I've tried all the knock offs and still prefer the Yamamoto. Was just curious if anyone else experienced some color.senkos were softer than others

Anyone else notice that certain color senkos are softer than other colors? The straight black barely last one fish

the bleeding braid doesnt bother me nearly as much as the wet hands! my hands and cork have become much more wet since switching from mono to braid on this combo. does braid absorb more water than mono or fluoro?

The medium is great for topwater crankbaits and spinnerbaits. medium action casting rods are way underrated in my opinion. I use them just as much as my medium heavys
