Max T 0Thanks guys for all the help
-
Gannon Walles 0For fish with teeth you crimp a cable leader on to the twisted wire loop. If using mono tie to the loop.

I want to go trout fishing in Southern new Jersey but i don't know where to go. I also want to use spinning tackle. I have rooster tails and powerbait but what ...more else should I get. Please help?!?!?
-
yeah that's outside my normal range so i couldn't give you any specifics but i'm sure the same lures will work...just need to check that link from squatch ...more and find a few spots....i can tell you that up here, if you see a spot that looks good, driving by or on google maps, it's usually worth taking a look...you might find some hidden gems!
-
check out the FGW site for what waters were stocked in the fall and winter...http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/trtinfo.htm ....i have had good success with pink trout ...more magnets in the rivers up north this winter
-
Mirrolures, floaters. Red head white body. Silver body green back. Johnson gold and silver spoons work well also. Trout Touts ,look like a shrimp work good if live ...more shrimp is not available. Artificial shrimp work well under a popping cork. Hope you can catch a few with one of these options.
-
Uh you should get some spoons and small Jerkbaits. But stock up on your mepps
-
Well I'm not familiar with far south jersey, but I can tell you little jerk baits and trout magnets are working great now. How far north are you willing to ...more go?
-
I believe theres a couple Jersey boyz on here that can help u

I'm going fishing this weekend and I can't seem to get the fish to bite from a pond. I've tried everything jigs, senkos , spoons, and spinner you name ...more it. Any advice???
-
try a Dropshot. Falcon lake is the same right now. looks like the only thing to make them bite is the drop shot
-
I agree, shiners can be great in a pond! I've also done well at night when fish are lure shy, especially if it's really clear water, usually dark worms ...more or jigs fished slow
-
Dynamite? Lol I'll second Chris, are there fish in it? All else fails and you really need a pull on the end of the line.... Live Bait!???
-
top water, downsize...are you sure there are fish in the pond?

just start with the knobs really tight so you can get a feel for it and keep loosing them until you get the right setting. I personally like 20 pound power pro braid, ...more but I did start with 30 pound. 20 I think is a little bit thinning and easier to use
-
learning to set your real tie on lure you intend to use left hand about 6 inches from tip turn your backlash control on the left which you only need to counter the ...more wind 2 zero with click thumb bar now with a slight flick of the wrist popped the tip of the rod Slightly release the cast control on the right until your lure moves 10 inches and stops on its own that's best way to start when first setting up your baitcaster that will decrease the likelihood of a backlash because backlash has nothing to do with the line you are using it's your ability and skill to use the bait caster which you have to ingest every time you change your weights follow above instructions and we will become very easy and for you to shift on the Fly
-
I used mono for starters, but after using braid for a while I realized that there wasn't much difference in ease of use between the two. Learning to set your ...more brakes is much more important. Start off by having both brakes set to the maximum, and back off from there as you learn the mechanics of the cast and how to use your thumb to control the spool.
-
Your thumb is your best friend, learn to keep it on the spool start with shorter casts until you get used to the feel of the spool under your thumb. I also use braid
-
Max T , I totally disagree with those chiming in for mono, my first baitcast my neighbor was an older guy fished the early tourney circuits. He said mono, mono..., ...more was worst advise I ever got. Mono kinks it knots its a nightmare. Use Braid, Spiderwire, Firekine whatever With a pic and patience you can get a lash of braid out in a few minutes and back to fishing.
-
To minimize the amount of times that your backlash will tangle so bad you have to cut it, I would recommend any type of braid. Its easier to untangle it with braid
-
spiderwire ultracast 20lb braid
-
I also got really good at undoing a backlash when it's knotted up usually on the opposite side of the reel you'll find a few Loops to pull that will free ...more up the knot until you get to the next knot lol
-
I am presently teaching my grandson to cast a bait caster and I have to agree with Derek,, braid is the easiest to learn on. Start with around 30# braid and begin ...more with all the magnetic brakes engaged. Tighten up the spool tension so that when you drop the bait (practice weight) the spool doesn't overrun at all when the weight hits the ground. Also I recommend look at the rod and pick a rod with a medium action and fast tip. Make sure you are using a practice weight that is matched to the recommended weight for the rod. I also recommend you practice in the yard or a smooth mowed area and not out in the boat or at the lake. Once the learner has mastered casting fairly well then graduate to the boat or on shore. Nothing frustrates a new fisherman more than watching someone else have success while they struggle with casting. Practice, practice, practice. Backlashes will happen to the best of us, so don't get discouraged. Best of luck, you will pick it up very quickly.
-
Braid does not backlash as bad as mono and gives you a chance to learn to cast and pick out backlashes easier. Mono tends to kink up once you backlash and then ...more it make is more difficult to cast without backlashes. Believe me, I've taught a lot of folks how to cast and braid is the way to get started.
-
I would recommend 12-15# mono. Like Mike said you will backlash alot and wind up cutting out a lot of line. Save the braid and floro for when you get better control.Use ...more heavier baits at first to minimize backlashes. Enjoy the new reel!
-
Get cheap stuff and practice, practice. You will inevitably backlash. Practice getting those out too. Enjoy!
-
Max if this is your first baitcaster then I'd recommend you starting out with some 30lb braid. Once you get use to casting it and getting it tuned to you, then ...more you can move to other types of line. My favorite line right now is K-9 Fishing Products Fluorocarbon. Hope this helps
-
I personally know nothing about bait-casters (I don't even have one), though I have heard that you should put a piece of tape 100ish yards in and practice. If ...more you get a backlash it will be easier to fix and untangle it.
