Yet more fishing pron
My basic setup. From left to right.
Shimano 8k front and rear drag spinner with 65lb braid on an 8 foot ugly stik. The things a machine. It’s particularly good for live bait with the rear drag lever engaged and set to let the bluegill or pinfish to swim freely. When something takes the bait and runs, the clicking drag sounds off and one turn on the crank deeply sets a circle hook on the fish’s own inertia. It’s not so much a fishing pole as it is a deepwater trap. I set it on a 15 foot custom rod for saltwater.
Shimano 2.5k front drag spinner. 20lb braid. 7ft Shimano rod. Standard stuff, really light action.
Abu Garcia Revo X on an Abu rod. Casting reel, magnetic drag, 20lb hi-vis mono for ripping through weeds and lily pads.
Three cane poles, old trusty. One 13ft two 10ft.
-and these are the reels I learned to fish on.
The rest of the fam’s favorite setups, that I have to haul back and forth through the sticks to get to the good spots.
See why I need a boat? Haven’t even got into the tackle.
