Question..what is a tip pit? TIPPET IS THE END OF THE LEADER. THINK OF USING A FLOURO TIPPET ON BRAIDED LINE.
My leader is already skinny at the end..can't I just fish it the way it is? YOU CAN, BUT THE TIPPET WILL RUN OUT BY CHANGING FLIES. GOOGLE THE LOOP TO LOOP CONNECTION, AND YOU CAN REPLACE YOUR TIPPET WITHOUT CUTTING YOUR LEADER
My line is 5/6 weight...is this good enough for bluegills and 3 pound bass? It's floating line?.i plan to get some quality bass bugs..
THAT WILL WORK
I won't be using this until the summer when I'm off ..right now I'll keep
flipping..
Another question...what if you want to fish sinking line..what do you all do? THEY MAKE SINKING LINE SECTIONS ABOUT 10' LONG THAT ATTACH INT HE SAME WAY AS THE TIPPET QUESTION ABOVE. OR DO AS I DO AND JUST MAKE YOUR LEADER LONGER (10' OR MORE) AND ADD WEIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FLY
A.have a second rod with you
B.have a second reel with and just change reel
Another question..
1. What does a nice fly rod feel like..mine feels too flimsy. FAST AND RESPONSIVE. YOU CAN FEEL THE ROAD LOADING AND TELL INSTANTLY WHERE YOUR LINE IS IN THE BACKCAST
2 what are the characteristics of a nice fly reel? NO PLAY AT ALL, VERY SMOOTH DRAG, NO START UP INERTIA, PERFECTLY BALANCED
3,Where do you folks buy your bass bugs or poppers..
How much can I expect to pay for a top shelf bass bug.. $5 OR SO. YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK INTO A FLY TYING KIT. I CATCH A TON OF BASS AND BLUE GILLS ON WOOLY BUGGERS AND LEACHES, WHICH ARE EASY TO TIE.
IF YOU DECIDE TO GET SERIOUS AND WANT TO UPGRADE, ID SUGGEST AGAINST BAMBOO FOR BASS. BAMBOO REQUIRES A LOT OF MAINTAINANCE. YOU CAN GET A DECENT ROD FOR $120 OR SO. ONE OF MY FAVORITE RODS IS A GREY'S GS2 WHICH RUNS ABOUT $110. I HAVE A FEW $700 RODS, AND THE GREYS FEELS JUST AS NICE, JUST A TINY BIT HEAVIER, WHICH YOU CAN COUNTERACT BY USING A SLIGHTLY HEAVIER REEL TO BALANCE IT.
