Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Powerpro or Sufix braided line for saltwater fishing?
   i need help

   • ANSWER:
     They are both quality lines with each having their fans. Like most terminal tackle, for every person who likes one brand, there is someone who like another.

2. QUESTION:
   PowerPro Braided line for Catfishing.....?
   This past season I made the switch from mono line to braided lines. I used Spiderwire camo braid in a 50lb line. From that point on I was hooked on braided line for cat-fishing. I quickly made the step up to using 50lb PowerPro moss green line. This year I purchased two new Ugly Stik Catfish spinning combos from Bass Pro Shops and I am looking for suggestions for line to put on them. I am leaning toward putting 65lb PowerPro on them, but I have been reading a lot about using red line instead of green because it disappears better under the water. I am a little wary about making the switch from green to red, but don't want to miss out on catching more fish. Hopefully someone who is a die hard cat-fisherman sees this and can give me their input. I am also wondering whether or not going up from 50lb to 65lb is going to make it that much harder to cast. Thanks.

   • ANSWER:
     I watched a fishing show a couple years back on "red" colored line. They did some testing with scuba divers in various depths to see when (or if) it actually disappeared. (I also read a corroborating article on this subject in Florida Sportsman Magazine.)

     The results???

     To the human eye the red line BEGAN to disappear in 20-22FT of water. Above that it was MORE visible than blue, clear or green. Ironically, ALL line starts to disappear in depths around 20 ft......

     They hypothesized that the red color may attract fish because it replicates blood in the water.

     In my opinion, line color is a "confidence issue". What works for one angler may not work for another.

     The only scientifically proven line that is invisible at any depth is Fluorocarbon.

     If I were you, and wanted an invisible line, I would use a 25LB Fluro leader.

     I have to agree with Devyn. 50LB Braid is PLENTY heavy for most US freshwater catfish applications. I've watched the TV show "The Hunt for Big Fish" where they were catching world record Mekong Catfish and the Host was using 25LB braid, (equaling 100LB Mono).

     We don't have cats in the US that will rival the Mekong's......

     Here's a Youtube of a guy catching a "baby" Mekong-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jcaRq8BZFE

     Like others have suggested, you SHOULD use a leader when fishing deeper water for big cats. Otherwise, you will eventually get snagged and lose uncounted yards of expensive Braid.......

     Hope this extra info helps ya? Thumbs up to D.

3. QUESTION:
   50lb Braided line? Too Excessive?
   i was thinking of ordering a 50lb spool of braided line, is this excessive. i usually fish for bass and catfish, and recently i have seen a few catfish jump out of the water at the local pond who's heads were at least a foot and a half across. and with 20 LB line i would hate to hook it and have it get off. Also i was wondering which brand of braided line is the best to use at 50lb. Its between "PowerPro Braided Spectra Fiber Micro Filament Line", "SpiderWire Stealth Braided Fishing Line", or "Berkley FireLine Braid Fishing Line"

   • ANSWER:
     You might be able to back down to like a 30lb braid for what you need. On the other hand go with what you want it;s your reel and your waters.

4. QUESTION:
   Which brand of braided fishing line will hold its color better than others.?
   I am planning on getting a Hi-Vis Yellow braid since I do a lot of night fishing, I was planning on getting PowerPro's Hi-Vis Yellow braid, but after talking to some people at a local tackle shop, they told me that PowerPro looses its color quickly and that the Hi-Vis Yellow would be white before I knew it.

   My choice now is Stren Sonic Braid Hi-Vis Yellow line, because I heard Stren makes a good quality braid and it will hold its color for a long time. Though, others say it will not hold its color very long. Is that true, or will it hold it color loner than other braids?

   • ANSWER:
     Pretty much any super braid lines will lose their color. It is spectra fibers and are slick and any dyes used will start to come off. It comes down to how many times you go fishing I guess. So I would say there really isn't any way to measure how long a super braid line will retain its color.

5. QUESTION:
   Which Brand of braided line should I get?
   basically i just want a brand that wont lose its color quickly and wont weaken over time.
   I fish quite often. maybe 4 to 5 days a week, sometimes i even fish everyday if I can.
   Which brand would work best? I'm more interested in Hi-Vis colors, such as Hi-Vis Yellow (I've heard PowerPro loses its color quickly)

   • ANSWER:
     Spider-wire is the only braid worth spending any money on.... High Visibility yellow is the best for holding it's color, but I really don't like being able to see my line that well, so i go with the original braid.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   winter fishing lures?
   what is a great fishing lure for trout in the winter

   • ANSWER:
     red fish and trout spawn in the winter so if you get up in the bay flats or even on a bay pier the absolute best bait you can get is live mullet minnows. mullet is like candy for paper-mouths; if you can find a light on the water which attracts shrimp which attracts trout, and drop your live mullet out there you'll have a good sized spec in no time. shrimp can never do you any wrong but if trout is specifically what you want, mullet is the way to go.

2. QUESTION:
   What are some good soft plastics and lures for fall-winter bass fishing?
   I fish from the shore and have caught nothing. I usually use grubs.

   • ANSWER:
     Winter Fishing usually means fish deep, at least when were talking about lakes. The top 3 lures for catching bass in winter are:

     1. football jigs (in deep rocky lakes, arky jig in shallow weedy lakes) Beserkbaits jigs are good.
     2. Spoons....Hopkins fished using electronic to find bait schools
     3. drop shot...using roboworms or berserkbaits soft plastics in a 3/16 wt and a no. 4 gamigatsu octputs or split shot hook.

3. QUESTION:
   Winter Striper fishing below a dam? lures & baits?
   i fish on a river directly below a dam on the NC/SC border. supposedly its the best spot near the lake for striper, even better than on the lake, but i dont have any luck in the winter for them. what lures/baits should i use and what weather/time of day is the best during jan., feb., months?

   • ANSWER:
     Start looking for Stripers around the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd breakwater nearest the dam. Stripers like to stay "just" out of the current waiting for a tasty morsel to swim by.

     (Where current meets "slower" water is called a breakwater.)

     Where I come from, (Jacksonville, Fla), we use large 1/2-1 OZ wide-gap jigs with 5-6" curly-tailed grubs, 1/2-1 OZ Spoons with a 6" fresh strip-bait as a trailer and large swim-baits such as a 6" Storm Wild-eye Swim Shad.

     In J-ville, cold, rainy, miserable weather with overcast skys and low light levels always seemed to be when Stripers decided to turn on.

     Try fishing very early moring and late evening into night.

     Colors that work well: Chartreuse, White, White/Red head, "Glow" greens and Reds.

     A good way to get Stripers "turned on" is with a large Spook Jr or Super Spook topwater lure retrieved in a "walk the dog" fashion. Topwater lures can sometimes "intrigue/inspire" Stripers to start on a feed.

     Cast a TW for 20-30 minutes and then switch over to your Jigs, Spoons & Swimbaits.

     Make sure to dowse all lures with a good fish attractant! Fish attractant removes the "human scent" which fish associate with danger. If Pogy's or Shrimp are in your fishing waters use an aersol Pogy or Shrimp spray attractant. If your in inland sweet-waters use a good Bass attractant. It only helps, and in most cases, can make the difference between catching something & catching NOTHING!

     Hope this gives you some ideas? Good luck fishin'!

4. QUESTION:
   Are ice fishing lures different then regular ones? What are the best lures to ice fish with??
   Ive never been ice fishing and there for know nothing about it...but my boyfriend loves ice fishing and so for christmas I was gonna get him a little tackle box and fill it with ice fishing lures for him so he can use when he goes ice fishing this winter...is there a difference between ice fishing lures and regular fishing lures?? If so can you please describe the difference or will it say on the package what kind of fishing its for?? Also, what kind of lures do you prefer to ice fish with??

   • ANSWER:
     The biggest difference between ice fishing lures and open water fishing lures is that regular lures travel horizontally through the water. You cast the lure out and reel it back in or troll behind a slow moving boat. When ice fishing the lure travels vertically. you can't cast through a small hole in the ice. I have caught many fish with the Rapala ice fishing jigs. They come in a variety of sizes and color patterns. Northland makes similar lures called airplane jigs. Another popular ice lure is the Swedish Pimple. Berkeley make a line of artificial baits called GULP! . They are popular with some ice fishermen. Hooks, sinkers and swivels would be good to have too. I hope this helps. If you can, get out on the ice with him at least once. You might have fun.

5. QUESTION:
   best lures for winter bass fishing?
   im gonna bass fish this week its gonna be 70 degrees out and im hoping the water will warm up to 45 maybe 50 if i go to a certain lake besides slowing my presentation any other tips

   • ANSWER:
     The main tip is fish s-l-o-w, very slow at times. My favorite bait to throw in cool water are jigs. Preferrably 3/4 ounce or 1/2 ounce with a nice big trailer and rattle. A lot of people will say you want to size down your baits, which is true in some cases but not for baits like jigs. Bass are very slow moving in the Winter and if they go for a bait they want it to be well worth it. They won't tend to chase down baits like they do other times of the year which is why a slow retrieve is a pretty vital. They'll also generally be holding fairly deep as you mentioned so you of course want to give whatever you are using time to fall down to that deeper water. So again, a jig is my go to bait in the winter.

     Second. if you haven't tried any rattle traps I'd strongly suggest it. I've pulled out more fish on these in cool water than I have on the jigs, they just don't tend to be as big. You can cover a lot of water with these and fish the however you want, they're very versatile. I like letting them sink until they hit bottom then use a stop and go retrieve with a twitch or 2 in between. They have loads of different colors and sizes so buy a few and experiement. Remember, GENERALLY in stained water a darker color will do best and in clear water a lighter/natural color will do best. But for some reason in Winter I've pulled a lot more fish out on a crawfish color in any water clarity. That would be my 2nd choice.

     Lastly, if neither of those were producing I would bust out my bigger plastic worms. 10 inch and even 12 inch Texas rigged worms have done nicely for me in the past. I tend to stick with the Culprit brand worms and occsionally Berkley Powerbait worms. As I said I like Texas Rigging best but a lot of people will Carolina Rig and Drop Shot like you said. Im not sure of the brand but there's some pretty neat hooks that come with rattle on them that I like to use this time of year. When you're fishing in water as cold as you are you need all of the "extra" stuff you can get imo like extra noise, flashy/flakey materials, and scents.

     That was answer I posted a while back to a similar question. Although if the temp is consitently in the 70's for a period of time I may suggest throwing some shad imitations. The warmer weather should cause the fish to start feeding a bit more and moving a bit more. Maybe try throwin a Zoom Fluke with a weighted hook or a swimbait or 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Will the Palomar knot work well with a swivel snap?
   I am wondering, if the loop, that gets pulled over, might get cut by the wire wraps!

   • ANSWER:
     the palomar knot is the strongest for attaching hooks or swivels.
     for nylon mono, fluorocarbon and braids.

     http://www.fishingclub.com/ExtraContent/ExtraContentDetail.aspx?id=132344
     this site, NAFC, has a "knot wars" segment on their TV show. they compare knots to each other. judge for yourself.

     just be sure all your knots are tied correctly. and lubricated.

     and yes, the trilene knot does hold as well as the palomar knot. the line will usually break somewhere other than at the knot too. but when you add braids to the mix, the palomar wins.

2. QUESTION:
   Is it OK to tie a swivel w/safety snap to your line & then just snap on lures?
   I'm always wanting to switch lures, especially when trying for bass. Rather than tying on a new lure every 5 minutes, is it OK to just tie a swivel w/ safety snap and then just use the safety snap to change lures? I'm talking about with top water rapallas, deep divers, spinners, jigs w/whatever & even a plain old hook. It seems like this would be the easy way to go, but I think I remember hearing long ago that I shouldn't, for some reason.

   • ANSWER:
     Take the time to tie your knot, it doesn't take that long. Swivel/snaps are highly visable, and they effect the action of the lure. I've also seen them break, and bend.

3. QUESTION:
   How do i open a snap swivel?

   • ANSWER:
     Sometimes, the small ones are hard to open with your hands. Try needle nose pliars to open it.

     If you can not open the bigger ones with your hand, you can use the pliars as well.

     Good Luck

4. QUESTION:
   which knot holds a snap swivel better, a palomar or the improved clinch?
   With Berkley Fire line.

   • ANSWER:
     1. This should be in fishing...
     2. My neighbor only uses fishermen's knots for tying with Fireline, and most of the time he just ties straight to the lure with it.

5. QUESTION:
   can i use a safety snap with swivel for a lure?
   should i use a saftey snap with swivel for a crankbait, liplesss crankbait, rooster tail, and kastmaster or will it ruin the action of the lure

   • ANSWER:
     I use a snap swivel pretty much all the time. I use the smallest and darkest ones I can get away with.

4. QUESTION:
   Can someone help me with my Shimano Curado fishing reel?
   I have the 200E7 model and when I took it apart to clean it and put it back together, the reel was not functioning right. I discovered the problem was that the anti-reverse system was not functioning correctly. The anti-reverse works, but when I crank the reel handle forward, it is very hard to move. The anti-reverse ratchet and the anti-reverse pawl are rubbing up against one another when I reel forward due to the pressure from the handle. Does anyone have any suggestions?

5. QUESTION:
   What is best reel for bass/pike fishing in Canada?
   I'm going to canada to go fishing for the first time this summer. I'm exctited but I've never really gone fishing for anything over 6lbs. What are some reels that I should look at and what are some of the mechanical characteristics that I should be looking for in the reel to handle a fish that is 7 to 15lbs.

   • ANSWER:
     You really need 2 different types of outfits for Canada fishing.

     For larger Pike/Musky fishing you should take a round style baitcaster such as these:

     1. Abu Garcia C3 5500 - http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_74090____SearchResults

     2. Shimano Calcutta CT 400 B - http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_63169_100001001_100000000_100001000_100-1-1

     Use a medium-heavy or heavy action 7' rod for the above.

     You would need to spool your reel with 10-12LB Braided line (such as Power Pro shown here- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_44282____SearchResults ). Make sure to always use a leader of Mono or Fluorocarbon when casting with such heavy Braid. 25-30LB leader size should be plenty.

     You would also want to bring a lighter action spinning outfit with a 7' medium action rod for Bass, smaller Pike & Walleye.

     Can you use a lighter action rod for large Pike/Musky? Yes.

     However, when larger Pike/Musky are fought for a long time they tend to die due to a build-up of toxins in their blood when over-exerted. No one wants to kill a trophy Musky due to fatigue................

     Hope this helps ya? Good luck on your trip.

     PS- If you can't afford 2 outfits think about purchasing a low-profile baitcaster. That would be a good compromise between a (too light) spinning outfit and a (too heavy) large Pike/Musky outfit.

     Here are some good reels. (Please read all reviews):

     1. Shimano Citica E- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_102800_100001001_100000000_100001000_100-1-1

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   need a good fishing reel that uses 4# or 6# test line?
   I had a Shamona Sodona 1500Hb before and would like too find another but cant find in my fishing cataloges would any body out there be able to help me. Thank you

   • ANSWER:
     I have an Abu Garcia Cardinal that I really like that is for the lines you listed. I looked but it doesn't have a model # on it, only says 5 ball bearings.

     I also own around 5 or 6 Okuma brand reels. They are very nice, top of the line and won't bust your wallet.

     That's the spinning reals. I'm not a fan of their baitcasters.

2. QUESTION:
   Fishing reel (6.4:1 gear ratio) spins too fast on cast, jams on excess line?
   I have a Bass Pro Shops Extreme baitcast reel and rod. upon casting, the reel unwinds so fast that it spins faster than the line is going out, and eventually gets caught on itself. having more weight on the line obviously helps (because it helps bring the line out faster), as well as holding the reel with my thumb. However, medium/long casts are impossible. What can I do?

   • ANSWER:
     Casting has nothing to do with gear ratio. You should have a tension knob on your reel. Hold your rod straight out and adjust the tension to where when you release the spool, the weight/lure will smoothly go to the ground but the spool will no longer overspin once it hits. It sounds like you don't have much experience casting. You may want to tighten it up just a bit more than that until your thumb gets a little better. Then you can start loostening it more and more for longer casting.

3. QUESTION:
   A fisherman is reeling in a fish. In 5.2 s he winds 2.1 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 4.8 cm (
   A fisherman is reeling in a fish. In 5.2 s he winds 2.1 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 4.8 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation). The line is being reeled in at a constant speed. Determine the angular speed of the reel.

   • ANSWER:
     ω = V/r. V = L/t = 2.1/5.2 = .4038 m/s. So,
     ω = .4038/.048 = 8.413 rad/sec

4. QUESTION:
   Intro physics problem, angular acceleration and friction in fishing reel?
   A fish takes the bait and pulls on the line with a force of 2.4 N. The fishing reel, which has a friction clutch that exerts a restraining torque of 0.046 N, is a cylinder of radius 0.060 m and mass 0.85 kg.

   What is the angular acceleration of the fishing reel?

   How much line does the fish pull from the reel after 0.3 s?

   Thank you very much. I'm very confused on how to put everything together.

   • ANSWER:
     For the first part
     Angular acceleration = torque / moment of inertia
     the moment of inertia for a solid cylinder is 1/2*m*r^2
     Torque is equal to the radius times the force
     So:
     angular acceleration = r * F / 1/2 * m * r^2

     The second part use (r^2 * t / 2I)* t^2 = x

5. QUESTION:
   A cylindrical fishing reel has a moment of inertia of I = 6.7 10-4 kg·m2 and a radius of 4.0 cm. A friction c?
   A cylindrical fishing reel has a moment of inertia of I = 6.7 10-4 kg·m2 and a radius of 4.0 cm. A friction clutch in the reel exerts a restraining torque of 1.3 N·m if a fish pulls on the line. The fisherman gets a bite, and the reel begins to spin with an angular acceleration of 74 rad/s2. If the force of the fish on the line is 33.5N, how much of the line unwinds in .60seconds?

   • ANSWER:
     It seems that most of the information given is not needed. If the fish keeps accelerating away then all you need is the tangential acceleration ( angular acceleration . radius of reel ) and the equation

     d = 1/2 . a . t^2 = 1/2 . 74 . 0.04 . 60^2 = 1.48 . 3600 = about 5400 m .... wildly improbable.But so is an acceleration of momre than 10 rev per second....every second!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   contents of a salt water tackle box?
   what fishing lures etc....are needed and necessary to put in a tackle box used for salt water fishing?

   • ANSWER:
     Prolly need some colorful iron-that's spoon-shaped jigs for jigging rockfish. Also plenty of lead-1-2 pounders for getting the bait down quickly.
     Assortment of snap/swivels and circle hooks. Also some shrimp jigs of various colors.
     Don't forget a good thick glove and a pair of needlenose pliers for handling your catch. Take a burlap sack for your catch. A disposable digital camera and a tape measure/scales will verify those you caught and released. Some anti-seasick pills and some SPF-30 or higher sunscreen can be real life-savers, should you need them.

I was looking online and trying to find some tackle for him and basic things that i could get him started with to at least go back out and fish but I dont want to buy something that wont be relevant in the waters here...ya know? like a lure for a fish we dont even have in our area...lol he fishes both salt and freshwater, mainly he fishes in rivers, or ponds. nothing to far out. he says he catches just simple pan fish, crappies and things like that...alot of bass. So maybe some things specifically for bass fishing? and then some other basic things...i dont know. thats why Im asking! So help a girl out Thanks.

   • ANSWER:
     For bass fishing definately get him some jig heads, then get him jigs, (these are the rubber baits that will attach to the jig head) preferably ones that look like minnows or long nightcrawlers. For larger fish get some spinners, (if he fishes rivers he can cath trout with these) make sure they are colorful and have a tri-hook (three barbs off of the hook) at the end, if he fishes for a lot of bass try getting weedless spinner baits. Get him a few crankbaits too. Find ones that are fat, short, loud, and colorful. If you still want to get him more then maybe try some topwater baits, these look like crickets, frogs, or lizards and float on top of the water. If you have any questions about how to find these in a store just tell the employee the name of the bait (ex. "crankbait"). He should have a lot of fun with these baits!

   • Hulk Hogan agreed to drop the world title to the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI because he was planning on retiring and wanted to pass the torch on to his babyface successor so he wouldn't have to come back and get "revenge" on a heel for his fans.*Hogan forced McMahon to give him the strap at the end of WMIX by threatening to no-show his tag earlier on the show with Brutus Beefcake against IRS & Ted Dibiase.

   • McMahon wanted a Flair-Hogan main event for WMVIII, but before Flair surprisingly was unable to re-up on a contract with WCW, McMahon signed Sid with the promise he would wrestle Hogan at the next WM. So, McMahon went with a double main event of Hogan-Sid and Flair-Savage.

In what should have been a minor point, the top rope broke at one point during the match. The Rockers defended the titles for a week after that, but then Neidhart was re-hired by the WWF, and Vince McMahon decided that the title change never actually happened, in one of the goofier decisions of the 90s, and one of many to affect the careers of Shawn and Bret. As an explanation, a story was sent to Pro Wrestling Illustrated about the rope break causing an "unfair working environment" for both teams, and hence the title reign was annulled. This was simply to cover up for the fact that they reported the title change as fact a week prior and needed a reason to no longer report it as such. The title change was edited out of the Main Event broadcast, and thus went down in history that the Rockers never had the belt.

5. QUESTION:
   Whee in Hong Kong can i go for some peaceful fishing?
   Ok so i am from Canada and i have lived here for 2 years and have not yet gone out for fishing. I have fishing rods and a full tackle box and i am itching to fish. I have never fished for salt water fish so if there is anything specific i need to know then please fill me in. Also a website that could help me identify which fish i can catch and eat would be nice as well. Also is there any regulations about fishing, like limits, and fish you are restricted to catch??

   OK so i dont want to go to the harbour at Tsim Sha Tsui and fish like the old people do. The fish they catch are honestly 2 inches long and you would need 20 to feed one person. I dont want to go somewhere that there is 1,000,000 people because i can go anywhere in hong kong to find that. I want a somewhat secluded place that i can go, even if its just people fishing thats fine i just dont want the tourist traps like repulse bay where you cant even fish anyways.

   I know of Sai Kung but i am not sure how to get there and i dont know if i can just fish off the rocks there or if i need to charter a junk. I would like to charter a junk one day but i want to do that when my father comes back to hong kong, not now. My girlfriend told me there is a beach at Wu Kai Sha but i have never been there before.

   ANY help would be much appreciated, thank you so much!

   • ANSWER:
     Hi

     There are several places you can fish in Hong Kong which are semi secluded. I can't help on the actual fishing details but I can help on location.

     Tai Po, You can take a bus to Tak Mei Tuk 31B from the MTR on a minibus and get off at the entrance to Tung Tze village. There is a rocky outcrop there which you can fish in the ocean.

     You can also walk from here to the plover cove revoir one side is fresh water the other side is the ocean.

     Alternatively you can take a ferry to Lamma Island and walk to Tung O Wan beach there is a 2km trail which leads to an abandoned village with a pier on it.

     There are also some concrete piers on the south of Lantau Island at Pui O, you can see them on googlemaps.... if you want there long enough a sampan usually comes along and they let you have rides for a couple 0.

   Also can you tell me if i need a license. I'm 13
   Grand Master Basser, I'm a newbe so can you tell me what's a 2-Rod Verification

   • ANSWER:
     Take your pick out of San Onofre State Beach, Oceanside City Beach Environs, Carlsbad State Beach, Leucadia, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Cardiff Beaches, Del Mar Beaches, Torrey Pines State Beach and Park, La Jolla Beaches, La Jolla Reefs, Pacific Beach, Mission Bay, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, Point Loma Beaches, Coronado Municipal Beach, Silver Strand State Beach, and Imperial Beach.

     Take a long 10 or 12 foot surf rod with a spinning reel loaded with 15 pound line, some baitholder hooks and some mussles for surf perch, skates, and rays. Take a shorter ultralight spinning rod with 4 or 6 pound test for light line for tossing sand crabs into the surf.

4. QUESTION:
   What Setup should I get for my first surf fishing trip?
   I am going on a backpacking trip up the lost coast and want to try out surf fishing, but have no gear and have never been much of a fisherman. What essential gear do I need in order to catch a fish? If anyone out there could give me a good idea for a basic setup that would be effective but lightweight I would really appreciate it!

   • ANSWER:
     One thing's for sure, the rod should be a travel rod like the one shown at http://www.go-saltwater-fishing.com/travel-fishing-rods.html. Any other type will be a pain in the butt to take on a backpacking trip.
     Pair it with a spinning reel loaded with 15lb nylon monofilament line, buy a few shore casting rigs and some 2oz to 4oz leads and you're all set. These rigs are cheap, and having a few professionally made-up ones means you can use them as patterns for tying some yourself.
     Tight lines!

5. QUESTION:
   how to buy products from fishing companys, with out owning shop?
   Hi everyone, i would like to buy fishing lures, reels, line, tools, and stuff, in wholesale from company’s like Berkley, Halco, Shimano, Daiwa, Okuma, Jarvis Walker, ect, to sell on eBay and my local fishing forum,
   But the trouble is that they will not sell to people who do not own a shop, i.e. brick premises, is the anyway to get past this or is the places that you can buy it from that sell it cheap and do not require a brick premises
   Cheers Corey

   • ANSWER:
     Er, have a look on Amazon for Daiwa. Don't think Amazon have any brick premises.
     I would imagine these manufacturers just don't wholesale to anyone. They have their own outlets (signed up agencies) who they strictly control. They, or their authorised agents, don't want some renegade messing up their product/pricing structure.
     I would suggest setting up a business (sole trader), get letterheads and write to these people.
     But you seam to have answered your own question: "But the trouble is that they will not sell to people who do not own a shop, i.e. brick premises".

2. QUESTION:
   Anyone know where to get lighthouse night fishing bobbers? color turns from red to green when you have a fish.?
   The bobbers seem to have dropped off the market maybe 2-3 years ago. they were amazing for fishing in really clear lakes, because they would change from red to green (or green to red... cant remember) when you had a bite. Can anyone help me?

   • ANSWER:
     well im sure you could probably find some at bass pro, gander mt., and dicks. if that fails, then im SURE graigs list has them, or ebay. or flea markets, and they will sell them to you CHEAP.

     good luck. 8>)

3. QUESTION:
   How do you catch a fish in a small lake, with a boat, fishing pole, bait, weights, bobbers...?
   The lake is kinda stocked, it is a little piece of a larger lake, the larger lake is stocked, and there is a little stream leading to our lake.

   • ANSWER:
     If it is a tributary off a large lake you probably could catch some crappie, bream, bass, and shell crackers.Just tie a hook on the end of your line, put a couple split shot weights about 6 inches above the hook, clamp on the float to fish about 2 1/2 feet deep, try some worms or crickets and see what happens.Also, my favorite is bottom fishing, just buy you a magazine to show you how to tie a Carolina rig and try that, its always worked for me.If you want to catch some decent bass, try using a plastic worm, or a rooster tail or beetle spin, they are also great attractors.Good luck, its just a matter of finding a pattern.

4. QUESTION:
   How does one make an Agitator Fishing Bobber?
   Reading a lot lately about people using agitator bobbers for white bass and crappie fishing but cannot find how they are made. Any help would be appreciated.
   Thanks.

   • ANSWER:
     I've never heard of such a thing. Of course, you could always agitate the float yourself by wiggling the rod tip instead of making a battery-operated one yourself.

5. QUESTION:
   What is the best way to arrange weights, bobbers, swivels, beads and whatever else for freshwater fishing?
   I have Berkely's 8lb fireline crystal and a 6' 6" ugly stick classic with a Pflueger Supreme 8035MG spinning reel and i will be mainly fishing for largemouth bass and trout.

   • ANSWER:
     Well there are countless ways to set up those things. It all just depends on what type of fish, and in what conditions you are fishing. The best I can suggest is to look up the names of different rigs, and how to set them up, you can then cross ref those rigs with what type of fish youa re fishing for. (use google for the cross ref).

     Use http://www.anglersresource.org/rigsetup.html for a list of good rigs and how to set them up, and go from there.

     I hope this helps
