>>824834i guess i'm just a panfish bluegill redbreast bream loving faggot but the idea of catching bigger fish with a fish i like to catch feels just a little bit wrong when i can do the same thing with a shiner. shiners are useless for sport fishing whereas that itty bitty titty bream will grow up into something worth fighting and eating.
that being said i have caught some 5+ lb bass on bream that ended up in a castnet by accident.
well it's 5 am so i guess i should go fishing. spooled up that 150 yards of power pro 20 lb braid onto the pfleuger president 40 size reel with the calico jack medium heavy 7 foot rod. that's gonna be my go to bitch for when i get tired of the memecaster on 15 lb fluoro.
the polyester thread didn't work so well for the ultralight so i just got some 4 LB mono instead. i couldn't find nylon mono thread in walmart either, was hoping to find something like 1000 yards of 1-3 lb equivalent for a few dollars but no such luck.
if anybody here ultralight's with sewing thread for shits and giggles then lead me in the right direction.
>>824811this guy is right, always go lighter than you think and once you get your shit in clear/close enough water to watch the action, go heavier as necessary. with bass and worms i don't go crazy heavy unless i'm memecasting in the mid day heat and gotta get inna deep water fast when my patience is this and bass are likely just reaction striking instead of actually looking for lunch.
