Large Fishing Hooks
Jug Catfish Fishing - Large Range of Tactics
Jug fishing is a very old method of covering a large area of water with bait, and catch a lot of fish quickly. It is very low-tech, and easy enough for anyone to learn quickly.
It is not uncommon to catch your limit of fish in a very shor 00004000 t period of time, using this method. A jug rig is simply a floating plastic jug with an attached running line, hooks, bait and weight. They are placed in the water and pulled in when a fish bites. That's it.
In modern times, jug fishing is used mostly for catching channel and blue catfish. Flatheads, or Yellow Catfish are frequently caught as well. Many trophy and record fish have been caught on jugs. Before going out jugging, be sure to check your local laws and make sure it is legal in your area.
There are two types of jug rigs: Free-Floating and Stationary. Free-Floating rigs are allowed to drift with the wind and current across likely spots, with the fisherman following in a boat.
When a fish hits one of the rigs, it is pulled in. The Stationary Rig has a heavy weight that anchors it to the bottom so that it doesn't drift. Both are very effective.
You can make your own jug rigs, but frankly, there are commercial ones available that are so cheap and well-made that it's not really worth the trouble. Even Wal-Mart carries jug rigs, ready-to-fish, for a pittance. I get my favorite rigs online from Jug Fishing. They also carry my favorite and best producing bait, Redneck SoapBait.
If you want to make your own, you will need several 1 or 2 liter plastic soda bottles, a roll of braided nylon twine, 2 hooks for each rig, silicone caulk, white spray paint, a permanent Sharpie marker, pocket knife, gravel, reflective tape, and a brick. The first thing you have to do to comply with many State laws, is to paint the jugs white.
This also aids in spotting the jugs on the water and keeping them in sight. When they are dry, put strips of reflective tape on the bottom of the jugs. Next, put a cup or two of gravel in the jug. Fill the cap with caulk and screw it on the bottle tightly, and allow it to dry. This seals the bottle. Next, take about 20-25' of the twine and attach securely one end of it to the neck of the bottle. On the other end, make 2 dropper loops, one about 3' up from the end, and the other about 3' above that one, and attach the hooks of your choice. If you want a Free-Floating rig, place a 1/2 oz. bell sinker on the bottom. If you want a Stationary Rig, leave enough twine at the bottom to tie on the brick.
For storage, roll the line around the neck. Use the Sharpie and write your name, address and phone number on the jugs (to comply with many state laws). Repeat for the number of rigs you want. I usually use 5 or 6 at a time. I use the marker to number the jugs. It makes them easier to keep track of.

QUESTION:
I need help fishing large circle hooks?
I just bought some Mustad 39960d 15/0 circle hooks. And I want to catch some big bullreds, black drum and the occasional sharks. I was told I am supposed to gap these hooks, to make them wider? I am not sure how to gap them. I tried to do a google search, but nothing came up. I am going to be fishing with crab and large bait fish ect.
Please Help need some advice thanks!-
ANSWER:
no, you don't do anything with them. use them as is.
and remember, you don't set the hook when using them. just a slow steady pull as you begin reeling in.
but they do seem to be a bit large. l would guess nothing more than a 5/0 or 6/0 should be required for a red of any size.
it's not as if we are still getting limits of 60 pounders like we did years ago. and even the sharks. you can hold a pretty damn big shark with an 8/0 mutu big game hook.if you try bending any hook you are sure to weaken it.

Looking For Antique Fishing Lures
Antique fishing lures may sound like something from a classic film or out of your Grandpa's basement, conjouring ideas of men with historical fashions being very classy while waiting for a bite, but these things are also collector's items here and now, and there are some fishing fans even use these pieces to go fishing to this day. While modern angling lures are sleek and look like certain kinds of live bait, many kinds of antique fishing lures tend to be more sturdy and don't resemble much other than maybe a slight insectoid element to their general design. They are effective despite their design, as the fishing forefathers would attest.
When you're interested in starting to collect antique fishing lures, you may well be interested in the background of these items, as well as the fishermen that also utilized them in times past. This can be a pleasant icebreaker for a pleasant and educational discussion alongside other fishing fans and enthusiasts. Usually, these antique fishing lures will be appropriate for the catching of any kind of fish, aside from a certain number of exceptions when you also take into account the species, the habitat and so on. Due to the interest in the newest developments with fishing lures, sadly there is scant info regarding the classics of fishing equipment.
You could discover that antique fishing lures are also described as 'Classic' or 'Old' lures by some outlets that still carry these pieces. Online sources and angling-friendly auctioneering houses are ideal starting points for searching out these pieces of fishing curiosities. You'll discover a wide collection of these classic and antique items of interest, and you may also come across items that remain in decent enough order to be utilized in your own angling activities. You may also wish to get in touch with angling organizations that specialize in the past of the hobby, as they would also be able to help you find good antique fishing lures.
While you are looking on the internet for antique fishing lures, you will very likely come across some fascinating information on the origins and evolution in angling from an issue of life and food to its current place as more of a sport and way of passing the time. There are also a huge selection of book titles and helpful guides to the origins of fishing and also fishing equipment that will help you get to know more about the names and descriptions of these antique items of equipment. Angling periodicals are also an ideal place to look, as these regularly carry pieces regarding classic equipment and the growth of angling as a whole.
While a number of antique fishing lures can be worth a small fortune, there is usually a buyer out there that is interested. That might even be you! Some pieces that are in the region of a century old can be worth thousands. Whichever your intention for buying antique fishing lures, whether it is a genuine appreciation of the skill of angling or an active interest in using these more traditional items to snare fish, there is a treasure trove of information and possibilities for you to discover.

QUESTION:
Help, how much is my antique fishing rod and reel setup worth?
my father and I have been cleaning out the garage and we found what appears to be an VERY old rod and reel fishing set up. He said that it came with the house when he purchased it about 20 years ago. The reel is a Shakespeare Wondereel from 1920, model number FK, but the rod is much harder to figure out. it has a short cork handle, is gray where the reel seats in. Also where the reel seats in its designed so that its a little sunken in I assume so that the reel sits lower. Then the rod itself seems to be made of glass, is about 5 foot 6 inches in length and at the bottom of the rod blank it has a RED logo that is a little worn and it says AMERICAN and the rest is worn out. It may not say anything else or it may have at once, because there is a noticeable amount of room left of the emblem for there to have once said something. And if you could match this up how much is it worth do you think? The reel itself is in great shape, it all still works and has minimal corrosion/rust and the rod, aside from the symbol being a bit worn, still looks ready to pull in the big ones. Im an avid fisherman and just want to put a name on this mystery of a fishing setup!-
ANSWER:
Leave it as is, place in glass display case with a photo of your dad and hang on wall in area where his great great grandkids will see it - value - priceless

Fishing Tubes
Spring Crappie Fishing
spring crappie fishing
The ice off most of the lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers now it's time to wait for the crappie spawn to catch those jumbo slabs. Wrong! Spring crappie fishing right after ice ou is the most amazing time of year to catch trophy slabs. The fishing pressure will be light because of the still very cold weather. If you can tolerate some very inclement weather you will experience some of the most amazing spring crappie fishing.
After ice out it is time to go out and start your spring crappie fishing. The crappie are still in deep water but will start their move into holding areas close to their spawning beds. The large slab crappie will be feeding in ernest. The water is extremely cold, so you will have to use a very slow bait presentation. The trick is being able to locate the fish, there are some fundamentals you need to be aware of to find the big slab pre-spawn spring crappie. Oh you won't have to be out on the lake at first light either. It has been my experience , Fishing right after lunch is better because there is some sun warming and the crappie feed on the moving bait fish more in the afternoon.
A good place to start your spring crappie fishing is at the last places the ice fisherman were catching crappie. If you don't ice fish contact some ice fisherman and find out their last fishing locations. The fish will be holding at these locations right after ice out. If your lake is shallow, head to the deeper boat channels around your lake, the fish will be locate here. In deeper lakes head to narrowing creaks and channels feeding off the lake the spring crappie will be located there. I rivers head for channels that feed off the main river.
When fishing In cold water I prefer ultra light equipment. When your fishing for spring crappie the bite will most likely be very light. You need to be able to feel the bite to catch fish Use 2lb test and an open face reel and a graphite rod, with a good tip. If you are breaking line and snagging a lot move to 4lb fluorocarbon.. I recommend you use 1/32oz or 1/16oz jig heads that have eyes painted on them. The color of the jig head can very, but my preference is chartreuse or pink. with split tail plastic tubes. with some glitter color. My preference is to use clear color tubes with some glitter color in them for clear water. In murky water use white or yellow. If the water is real muddy use chartreuse.
If you use these tips you will be successful. When you catch a giant slab crappie in early spring there is no better feeling. Well good luck with your spring crappie fishing.

QUESTION:
what is the difference from the opened front fly fishing tubed to the closed fly fishing tubes?
I wanna know witch is better because I'm going to get one soon and i don't want to spend more on the worse product.-
ANSWER:
tubes are totally up to preference the open front allows you to more easily see the water right in front of you but leaning backward is mandatory for both. the open front allows you (I think) to relax your neck and that keeps me in the water longer. I fish docks and jetty's and like looking straight down into the water I am facing. Especialy when I get a toothy halibut on and its chomping on my leadhead when I have to get the hook out if he bit the tube I would shoot around backwards all over the waters surface until either all the air leaked out or I sank. Other than those reasons, a tube, is a tube, is a tube.

QUESTION:
Any reccomendations for waders of float tubes for fishing?
I'm thinking about buying waders and a float tube to be able to fish areas that I normally couldn't. If I buy the float tube, what type of waders do I need to buy to use with the float tube(thigh, chest, etc.). Thanks in advance.-
ANSWER:
if you are thinking of getting a tube consider a pontoon "kick boat" style raft/tube. http://www.outcastboats.com/outcast/products/default.aspx?series=12outcast is just one brand there are many brands and you'll likely find one cheaper than the outcast rigs run, I link you to outcast only because I have one that is 10 years old and is still bombproof. if you get out very far in a doughnut style tube you inevitably have to rush back to shore to take a leak, problem is in a doughnut style tube you can't get anywhere quick.... in my kickboat I can wear waders or often I don't bother because you are not in the water except to about mid calf, in the doughnuts you are up to your belly.... kichboats can be rigged with a driftboat style anchor, they have oars, can be rigged with a trolling motor, and can be run down easier white water(I've run III+ in mine) that would drown a doughnut tuber. that ability gets you into some seldom fished river sections.....
the tubes maggie linked you to are very good ones(they are lighter, mine is 35 pounds), they would work well enough, especially in smaller areas but bigger water or rougher conditions would make me wish I had my bigger boat.waders: insulated or not? depending on where you fish and water temps neo's or breathable..... I have both, like the breathables better. if you've never owned waders get something like hodgemans, they'll be fairly cheap and you'll figure out what you really need without blowing a huge lump of cash on something you rarely use. I will say that stocking foot and wading boots work better for me than the bootfoot style waders. when I'm slogging around on slippery rocks I want my boots fitting well. lastly, if you are gonna be wading mossy trout streams do yourself a favor and buy felt soled boots, you won't regret it.....
just re-read the question, buy chest waders, if it's hot I wear the breathables and roll them down to the waist, or don't bother with them at all.

QUESTION:
I need opinions on fishing with float tubes - good or bad?
I am considering getting on because I can not afford a boat. Mainly for lakes.-
ANSWER:
Float tubes excel in super small ponds and lakes in the North and out West. (They work esp well for any kind of trip where you need to "hike" to your destination- like a pristine Mountain lake.)However, I've never seen anyone use them in the South East due to "critters" like Water Moccasins and Gators. (What do you call a guy fishing out of a float tube on Lake Okeechobee? BAIT! lol) So if you live in an area that has a lot of " large or poisonous water critters" you may want to nix the float tube idea.
Also, Float tubes are not a good idea on lakes that get a ton of boat traffic and skiers- No one wants to get run over by a drunk idiot pulling a knee-boarder.......
Float tubes are also "tiring" to maneuver in any type of flowing current- thereby eliminating stream and river fishing.
And they can be downright COLD when fishing in the Spring, late Fall and Winter.
Like others have mentioned, I would opt for a used kayak or canoe long before I purchased a float tube. I think you would get 3 times more "use" out of canoe or kayak.....................
................UNLESS, you strictly want to fish (very) small ponds and lakes where there is no boat traffic, no "critters", in the Summer months.
Hope this helps ya? Good luck in your decision!

QUESTION:
Float Tubes and Small fishing crafts
I was wondering how are float tubes when fishing. Are they comfortable, can you cast fairly well from this do you feel constricted. Also what are some other good small crafts from single person to two person crafts.-
ANSWER:
Float tubes are loads of fun for the single fisherman. You can get into place you might not have access to in a boat or from shore.As for feeling cramped, that can happen. It always pays to research the products available and read user reviews before making a purchase.
Punctures in a float tube can ruin your day! You always have to be careful of what you are doing in one. I had a crappie fin my tube once and had to get back to shore quickly! I learned to use a fish basket instead of a plain stringer.

QUESTION:
When it comes to float tube fishing, would scuba fins function the same as float tube fins?
I'm getting my dad a float tube for X-mas. I can get a good pair of used scuba fins cheaper than a new pair of float tube fins. Would they function the same? Also, will he be able to cat fish/bass fish comfortably and effectively in a float tube? I know they're usually used for fly-fishing trout and salmon.Thanks!
-
ANSWER:
Yes, SCUBA fins work just like tube fins. Float tube fins only give more thrust on the down stroke.Yes, he can catch whatever fish he wants out of a float tube. I use mine for mainly bass fishing and it works absolutely GREAT for working jigs and plastic worms. Just cruising, they have the right speed for trolling floating swimbaits.
My biggest fish was caught out of my float tube. I was fishing for bass from my old Fish Cat 4 float tube using a six-inch, Texas-rigged oxblood/red flake plastic worm and eight-pound line. I'm cruising the shoreline in my tube, casting my worm out to the side into deeper water and slowly bouncing it back at an angle. I don't feel any tapping, I don't feel a hit, I don't feel the bite at all. It was just a nice, hard jerk followed by a hell of a run. When I reared back and set the hook, I thought I had hooked THE bass, but after a couple seconds of that long run, I figured out what it was. 2 1/2 hours later after being dragged around this arm of the lake, I finally tire out the fish and get it onto my tube. Both it's head and tail hung six inches off each side of my tube. 44-8 is what it weighed after I got it to a scale at the marina. I was using a 5 1/2 foot Fenwick Fenglass Lunkerstick 2000 rod and an Ambassadeur 2500C reel. It was an AWESOME experience!
What kind of float tube are you buying your dad for Christmas?

Fishing Lure Companies
Big 5 Vintage Fishing Lure companies
Big 5 Vintage Fishing Lure companies
One of the first things a person new to the world of vintage fishing lure collecting will hear about are the so called "Big 5" companies that dominate the news about the pastime. Knowing who these companies are (or were) and a little bit about them will go a long way towards alleviating any fears of someone new to the hobby who is feeling intimidated by all of the information available online.
The Heddon Company
The Heddon Company was created by James Heddon, the man who is given credit for the invention of the first artificial wood fishing lures in 1894. The often repeated story is that he had his light bulb moment when he tossed a hand carved wood plug into the waters of the Dowagiac, Michigan mill pond and watched as a bass struck it. With this insight an industry was born. The original lures were frogs hand carved from broomsticks by Heddon himself. The lures were originally made by hand in the Heddon family kitchen located in Dowagiac, Michigan, but by 1910 there was a new factory in Dowagiac and expanding sales.
The Lucky 13, Punkinseed, River Runt, and the Meadow Mouse are a few examples of this classic brand.
Creek Chub
Creek Chub was founded in 1910 by three friends in Garrett, Indiana. The company is named after the creek chub, which is a small fish commonly used for live bait by fishermen.
Henry Dills created Creek Chub's first lure, The Wiggler, which had a metal lip that caused the lure to wiggle in the water leading more fish to strike it. Another early lure was the Pikie minnow. This bullet-shaped lure had more than one variation available, allowing for choices on the amount of movement in the water desired. The Open Mouth Weedless, later renamed the Open Mouth Shiner is another early lure. These lures were designed to be weed proof and featured long-shanked double hooks facing backwards so they would drag over snags without hanging on them. Open Mouth Weedless lures are a hard to find vintage fishing lure and all three of these are great examples of Creek Chub vintage fishing lures and collector's items.
One of Creek Chub's most important innovations in the lure industry was the process of spray painting lures by spraying the paint through netting. Paint applied to this netting (originally from ladies' hats!) was used to create the now common scale patterns on Creek Chub lures. Creek Chub was a very innovative company in other areas as well. Their early adoption of the use of glass eyes on lures and the invention of the weedless bait mentioned above are great examples of this spirit of innovation. Creek Chub also held numerous other patents related to lure improvements.
Pflueger
Ernest F. Pflueger founded the Enterprise Manufacturing Company in 1881 making fish hooks. When his son took over the business in 1906, it changed names to the E.A. Pflueger Company. During this time, Pflueger was the first company to open up commercial production of wooden fishing lures. The company would also grow from being only a hook maker to all areas of fishing gear. As competition in the industry became more fierce the company began to focus more on reels than lures.
Two of the lures that the company started with were the Flying Helgramite and the Luminous Crystal Minnow lure. These are two very vintage fishing lures from Pflueger that incorporate the founding E. Pflueger's invention of a luminous lure paint.
Shakespeare
William Shakespeare, Jr. founded his company in 1897 with a first product that wasn't a fishing lure. He started out with reels before expanding into the lure market. Shakespeare began making fishing lures around 1900 and the first catalog was issued shortly after that containing only four lures: the Revolution, Bucktail, Evolution and a Frog. The Shakespeare Revolution is one of the most collectible of the Shakespeare vintage fishing lures. Many of Shakespeare's early products were rubber lures, including rubber frogs that mimicked real life motions of a frog when in the water. A very rare collector's item is the Shakespeare Tournament Casting Frog, which is a prize find for any vintage Shakespeare fishing lure enthusiast.
South Bend Bait Company
South Bend was founded in the early 1900's by F.G. Worden of South Bend, Indiana.
Worden had already been selling his Bucktail baits since 1894 prior to the official company founding. These bucktail baits were wooden minnow shaped lures that were invented and popularized by Worden. The South Bend Bait Company also made the famous Oreno fishing lures. The Oreno was also a minnow shaped lure and would become a popular long term seller for South Bend. The Bass Oreno, which started production around 1915 and was still in production into the mid 1960's, was the most popular South Bend bait. Another popular vintage South Bend lure is The Vacuum Bait which can be quite hard to find and is a nice collector's item.

QUESTION:
Why is it that fishing companies dont really specialize lure making for saltwater fishing?
Most of the time when I fish on the ocean I see people and myself use bait. The only time I use lures, jigs, and etc is when catching schooling fish such as smelt, mackeral, and etc-
ANSWER:
There are plenty of companies which make saltwater lures. However, their markets are small -- lures which work in southern California often won't work off Florida, and vice versa, so you don't hear much about them. On the other hand, freshwater bass fishing is a nationwide interest, so companies which make lures for bass tend to have lots of publicity, so even those of us who don't fish for bass hear about all the bass lures.Next time you go saltwater fishing, stop in a local saltwater tackle shop, and you'll probably see lots of artificials for sale. You see most people fishing with bait simply because it's an easier way to catch fish, but there are plenty of people who catch lots of fish on artificials.

Over the years, stocking of crappie has occurred throughout the united states The crappie spread quickly to rivers, streams and lakes and if left unchecked can over populate quite quickly and crowd out other species.
No Need to worry that your area of the US or Canada getting over populated soon because the crappie is one of the most sought after game fish.You can catch them at several different time of the day. In all seasons, and weather. It has been said that Crappie fisherman bind all anglers in America together.

To be consistent at catching the crappie you need to understand them and learn how to catch them. I have developed a list of fishing tips that I think will be very helpful when you plan on fishing for crappie.
#1: Crappie Gear Without the right fishing gear you will have a rough time catching crappie. You need to have a good long crappie rod with a sensitive tip, a graphite pole over 8ft long is better, but an old bamboo pole will work also. If you intend to get your self a a good graphite crappie pole you will need a matching spin cast reel that is rated for 4 to 6lb test line. If you are getting the bamboo pole it will have a crappie rig attached for you.
#2:- Crappie Baits: You can go in two directions, you can either use live or artificial baits. If you are new to crappie fishing it may be better to start out with live bait. You will have better success catching fish. You don't want to get frustrated early and not give the sport a chance. If you you find you really like the sport after catching a few fish you can move on into learning how to use artificial baits. If you learn the art of fishing artificial crappie baits you crappie catches will be more consistent the more you refine your tactics.
Crappie fishing tips: If you are fishing stained low visibility water select a chartreuse color plastic tail attached to a 1/32oz to 1/8oz jig with a 8 to 12 inch trailer hook attached to the jig's hook. Use a number 6 to 8 hook. Put two spit shot about 18 inches above the hook. This allows the minnow to move freely, while be held stationary. Use a live crappie minnow by hooking them right behind the eyes in the back of the head. be careful not to go to deep or you will kill the minnow.
Tip#3:When you are fishing for crappie in rivers,lakes or streams that have moving water you will need to switch between live and artificial crappie baits depending on the crappies mood. Remember crappies are cold-blooded and the water controls their body temperature.Look for places in moving water where crappie might be hiding waiting for bait fish to swim by, you will have to put your bait right in front of their nose's but boy will they really hit!
When crappie are sluggish it is because the temperature is out of their comfort zone. Kind of like your neighbor that doesn't have air conditioning or is still using a wood burning stove when things get cold. They just don't feel like doing anything until its right in their face!
Crappie Fishing Tips #4: When crappie are in their beds and starting to lay their eggs, you can find them by what is commonly called the "crappie bubble". it is a bubble like wave going across the top of the shallow water ... a ripple.This means there is allot of crappie in the area.
Tip#5: The crappie has a keen sense of smell so scenting your crappie jigs does make a difference. you can buy canned crappie scent at any tackle shop or purchase on-line. It's a proven fact that you will catch more fish by scenting your crappie baits.

ANSWER:
Have you checked out sites online at all? I was just saying that a buddy of mine just recommended I check out fishfreakonline.com They have a ton of fishing "stuff" - reels, rods, bait and tackle to other supplies. I hear you when you say you feel you should revamp your fishing gear. I get that feeling each fishing season, but I sure can't afford new stuff each new year, although I do wish. Check them out, look around, they have a section for freshwater fishing, saltwater fishing, fly fishing and more. I am not sure what type of fishing you enjoy. Hope this helps and feel free to pass along the site to others.

QUESTION:
PLEASE REVIEW MY ESSAY ASAP?
review for any grammar errors or mistakes i made. thanks!!In the Case of the Shipwrecked Sailors, three sailors (Brooks, Dudley, and Stephens) were cast away in the middle of the sea due to a storm in the Atlantic Ocean that sank the cargo ship they were traveling on. Marooned on a little raft, the sailors had no food or water. They also didn’t have fishing gear or any means of equipment that could help them catch food from the ocean. Subject to extreme conditions and starvation, the men became desperate. The ship’s doctor, Stephens, pointed out that they would die of starvation if they went without food for 30 days.
After 25 days, Brooks suggested that they draw lots on whom they should kill and eat; they agreed. Lots were drawn and Brooks lost, making him the victim. Brooks refused to consent, but Dudley and Stephens figured that he was already weakened and would not survive much longer, so they killed and ate him. After 5 days, a passing ship rescued the remaining two sailors. They explained what had happened and they were placed on trial for murdering Brooks. The country in which they were tried had the law that anyone who kills another is a murderer.
One might argue that Dudley and Stephens are not to be found guilty because it was Brooks that suggested they draw lots and kill the loser – to which they all agreed. Brooks was going to die anyway too, so they were right in killing him and using his body for food or else they would have died as well. If Brooks did not lose, then he might have done the same to the loser as the other two did. Nevertheless, one could argue that they were all dehydrated and starving, thus they had every right to do what they did.
On the other hand, one could argue that murder is murder no matter how hungry, thirsty, or desperate they were. They committed the crime of murder and the atrocity of cannibalism. To think that a human would go to such extremes is monstrous. Even if Brooks was weakened, how did Stephens and Dudley think that they would know when he would die? Maybe he would have survived for five more days until the Ship came to their rescue and all of them would have been alive. Stephens and Dudley deliberately took the man’s life to save their own, which signifies their crime. Murder is murder, no matter how tragic the situation was.
Personally, I would rather die than kill a man, let alone eat one. These men should definitely be tried for murder and also cannibalism. Their act was both lawfully and morally wrong, as the Sixth Commandment states, “thou shall not kill.” They broke the law and unlawfully took the life of another, thus a punishment must be made out. In this case, they should be punished for first degree murder. How would the world be if the law let people like them roam about? For the sake of the common good, Dudley and Stephens must be held responsible for their horrid crime.-

Fishing Rod Tubes
Carp Fishing Rods What You Need To Know Before Purchasing
There are so many different types of carp fishing rods and carp reels on the market each for a specific kind of fishing. Whether it is float fishing, simple ledgering or using a big feeder there will be a rod that has been manufactured specifically for each type of fishing.
The selection of rod is very important when you are chasing after that elusive specimen carp and choosing the wrong one could leave you cursing when that big specimen gets away. You will find three main types of rod to think about each one of them dependant on where you are likely to fish.
You will often see when looking to select a rod a mention of a rod's test curve and this is an important factor to take into consideration. A test curve is determine by how much weight it takes to bend the rod through 90 degrees. The most common test curve is 2.5 lb which is normal for close to medium range fishing. If you are looking to fish long distances then a 3lb test curve would probably be more suitable.
The three main styles of carp fishing rod are as follows.
All through action
These bend along the whole length of the rod, so you can often feel the rod bending under the handle. This kind of rod is for playing fish with the best safety margin rather than a casting tool. These rods usually feel nicer and are a pleasure to use.
Medium action
The bend on these rods starts about two thirds of the way down the rod. This gives a nice bend to the rod whilst there's still power left in the butt to manage a good fish. These rods certainly provide a greater safety margin when playing a fish but at the expense of some casting distance. This type of action is the one that I like to recommend and most often use myself.
Fast tip action
These will usually feel extremely stiff as they bend only within the tip section with other joints remaining rigid. These rods are intended for fast pick-up and long casting. The disadvantage is that each movement of the fish tends to be transmitted down to the hand. There's also no cushion if the fish makes a sudden run whilst it is being netted. This may end up in the line breaking or the hook being pulled out.
Most carp rods are manufactured from hollow tapering tubes being a mix of carbon and glass fibres bonded by a resin. The more carbon present within the mixture, the more expensive the rod. This will also make the rod stiffer and allow manufacturers to reduce the diameter of the tube.
Many of the cheaper carp fishing rods are manufactured from a mix containing a higher proportion of glass fibres and these rods are often referred to as composites. These composites are, not as stiff, more robust and of larger diameter but by being less stiff and much more robust makes it a great rod for the beginner.

How do I post a fishing rod?
Its in a rod tube and no one will seem to take it as it is to long, and i cant make it shorter! I need to post it from preston if that helps as cheap as possible.. thanks-

QUESTION:
How much does it cost to send fishing rods using royal mail standard parcels?
I need to post 3 fishing rods in one tube within the UK, but i have no idea how much it will cost and need to let the person receiving them know.
PS. I live abroad so cannot check in with a local post office. And the person in uk who will be shipping the goods works 6 days a week and cannot make it to a post office to check for me. Of corse i have checked the royal mail website but i'm still unsure due to it being an odd shape item.-
ANSWER:
If the rods are one piece type and about six or more feet long, the cost will be much higher opposed to a package or tube say four feet long. I suggest using the UPS parcel delivery system for best and most reliable he service.Perhaps wiring the estimated cost of the rods and letting the receiving person go buy them will be less cost... just saying.

QUESTION:
A question about selecting an entry level centrepin fishing reel?
I want to ditch my fixed spool fishing reel and have a go at float fishing with a centrepin fishing reel, however I don't want to spend a fortune on my first pin just in case I decide that pin fishing is not for me.With this in mind, can anyone recommend to me a decent quality entry level centrepin for around £100 or less?
I've had a quick scan online and the Okuma Aventa looks like a good reel, what do you reckon?
-
ANSWER:
The thing with trotting with a pin is it must run freely and smoothly , if it doesn't it becomes a chore to use .
I've heard good thing's about about the Okuma , I think they do one above the Aventa , have a look at both .
One bit of advice I'll give you is keep it clean , little bit's of grit will ruin a good pin quicker than anything , I rinse and dry my Ariel every time I use it then put it in a plastic sandwich bag then into it's box ( it's 40 years old was my Dads ) and is a pleasure to use .

-
ANSWER:
Personally, I like small noodle rods very much. Judging from the specs alone, I'll pick the 4'6" model over other models because it handles 1lb-6lb test lines and its wide range of recommended lure weights.I really don't have anything nice to say about your reel choices. Spincast reels are well known for their inherent problems. The most serious problem is line twist. It might not sound much but line twist will reduce your line's useful life, reduce your casting distance, create unnecessary tangles and reduce your line's strength. Among all reels will will give you line twists, spincast reels produced the nastiest line twist. The design of spincast reels will also reduce your casting distance and limit you to heavier weights. There aren't that many spincast reels that could cast 1/24oz lures as if it was designed to. The reels you picked were actually underspin reel. If you could cast an underspin reel, you won't have ANY problem casting a spinning reel. A spinning will be a MUCH better choice.

QUESTION:
What type of fishing rod/reel combo would be best?
I'm going fishing this summer and I need to buy a rod/reel combo. I haven't fished since I was kid. Today I was looking to buy a rod and everything is a little complicated. So, if I wanted to freshwater fish, off a bank or boat, possibly catching catfish, bass, and anything smaller, what rod/reel should I buy as far the specs? 4foot? 5foot? 6foot? What type of line? 2-4lbs? 4-8lbs or something like that? I already know I'll get a spinning real. What's the number one brand of fishing gear? And I don't quite remember how to set up the rod...the hook, bobber, weight so is there a quick guide that somebody could lead me to?-
ANSWER:
A rod from 6' to 7' is what you need. Medium action will work fine. For catfish/bass, you'll need about 10 - 14 lb line. 6# for panfish, so a good all-around test is 8lb.Shimano and Quantum make the best reels. Berkely and Diawa are also good brands for rods. Shakespeare makes some real affordable stuff that is decent.
Tie a hook right to the line. Then add a small splitshot about a foot above that, and the bobber goes above the weight. How much depends on how deep the fish are.

QUESTION:
Quick fishing question ?
Could someone explain to me how to flip and pitch, with a baitcasting reel. Video would be helpful to?-
ANSWER:
Pitching is done releasing the brakes on your reel and controlling the spool entirely with your thumb.Lower your jig down till it's between the first eye and the rod handle. Do this with your rod pointed up. (exactly where is a matter of personal comfort) If the rod is in right hand, hold the jig in your left. Swing the rod from low to high and release the jig about halfway through the swing and control the speed of the spool with your thumb. Controlling the spool takes a lot of practice. When you get good at it you can make the jig fall anywhere you want it. Practice this in your yard like the first guy said. The accuracy will come with practice.Remeber, too little thumb pressure and it will backlash, too much and the cast won't go far enough. The amount of pressure is what you have to learn through practice. Hope this helped. Don't give up, you'll get it.

QUESTION:
Does anyone know what type of solution might work best for cleaning a wooden fly-fishing net?
I want to clean the netting, but I don't want to use anything that would A) damage the netting B) damage the wood C) catch fish I harm in the future or D) add toxic chemicals to streams.-
ANSWER:
What are you trying to clean off? Also, what makes you think that it's the kind of net that might be damaged by cleaning solutions?If it's just mud and moss and stuff, just use lots of hot water. If it's something impervious to hot water, try dish soap. If you've got something on there that won't come off with ordinary soap, I'd need to know what it was before I can think about what else to try. Most nets are just lightweight wood and nylon net -- there's not much that's gonna damage them.

ANSWER:
l have not fished your lake but plastic worms work everywhere. all the time.
get an assortment of soft plastics colored to resemble the 3 or 4 major forage species in your lake. 6" worms in those colors will probably work fine.
for starters, go with a crayfish color. some bluegill colored ones and some shad colored ones. a few 8" worms in black or purple. 3/16 or 1/4 ounce weights with 10lb line should be fine. texas rigged.
find some brushy cover in some dingy water 2 to 6 feet deep. work it all day. especially a wind driven wave swept shoreline where there is a mud line reaching out 20 feet or more from the bank, use your craw finished and larger dark worms there. adding a bead for a rattle won't hurt. toss your bait right up to the bank. don't be afraid to get it dirty. work it SLOW all the way out to clearer water. if you can find some oxblood or cinnamon "fat ikas" rig those backwards, weedless, on a 5/0 EWG hook with only a splitshot for weight crimped right at the eye of the hook. this is a great rig for me in dirty water. use your shad and bluegill colors right at the edge of the mud line. the dirty water makes great cover for lots of bass and the wind drives the bait right to them. the crayfish also feel safer and leave their cover more readily.hope this might be a bit of help.
my last trip, that type of area produced the best for me.

QUESTION:
bass fishing--how do i choose what line to use?
i have one light spinning set-up thats designated for light tackle fishingi have one baitcaster..thinking about getting another one
with two baitcasters, how should i go about deciding what line to put on them, im fairly new to bass fishing and dont really know the difference between mono, braid, and flurocarbon
any help would be appreciated
-
ANSWER:
For a casual fisherman like yourself, you'll be OK to stick with mono line on all reels. The only exception will be if you fish area thats dingy water or has heavy cover or vegetation, then use either braid or flourocarbon line.As far as line size, go with 12-14 pound line for the baitcaster, about 8-10 for the spinner.
I have 2 reels with braid...one for worming the other for jigs. The other reels I have mono, 12-16 pound line. My spinning rod has 10 pound line on it, but will put 8 pound flourocarbon line on it before my next tournament next month.

QUESTION:
Must have tackle items for bass?
I am semi-new to bass fishing, and I was wondering if anybody could give me some items for my tackle box. I plan on fishing in large ponds and lakes, and Im hoping to catch a 10 pounder.-
ANSWER:
If you want to catch a 10 pounder you must forget about catching any other fish at all. You cannot try to catch a 10 pounder and still be catching lots of 2 pounders, unless you get really lucky. First you must live in a place where there are 10 pounders. If the lakes where you fish are full of weeds use frogs and jigs. Find the thickest weeds and slop you can. Take a hollow frog and cast into the thickest stuff possible. SLOWLY twitch it back to you. Twitch it, then let it sit for at least 15 seconds. You can let it sit for however long you can wait. Bass don't get huge by chasing everything around. If you don't catch them on a frog take a heavy jig and punch it through to grass to the open water underneath. If you live in less grassy lakes, then a large swimbait is probably the best choice. Use a very large swimbait and fish it around cover.
