>>1818556Because no slip mono loop. Flies move great on a loop knot.
>>1818810You're just mad cause people bully you for being fat and you take the bait
>>1818829Cool, post your goliath groupers, 12 foot sharks, and other big game
>>1819022I use one i got from walmart, it was sold as a range bag in the shooting supplies section but it works nice and holds a few plano 3600 boxes
>>1819064Dont waste your time on a spinning reel if you want a clicker.
The penn squall reels are solid, as are diawa sealine reels
>>1819077I partially disagree, i like my slingpack better than my backpack
Backpack has more volume, sling pack is easier imo
>>1819099Rod size largely is irrelevant for fly size.
A 5 weight should cast anything under 5 inches (with some difficulty), though it might be difficult. How far were you casting? Were your floes turning over? And are you getting a good stop?
The wind will make your cast drift, you just have to learn to compensate for it, and that comes with time.
>>1819104Congrats anon
>>1819107Also this, are you tying your own leaders or using store bought?
>>1819117Can confirm
>>1819109Ye
>>1819263Just get a saltwater reel itll be fine
>>1819277Toothpicks are a good option, wedge the point in then break it off
