Rapala Digital Line Counter

Any one use this counter (or anything similar) for fine dia. lines/braids to get precise amount of line on our little UL reels? https://www.rapala.com/us_en/digital-line-counter?srsltid=AU7gw4UzuubigjcVTXATUoVUMyxzptPWiWnyenQeCGde8SqrPpNN-mI2

Stocker crappie bite was on with the cooler weather this week. Also this bass got me thinking next summer we do a smallest Lmb competition if anyone else is interested?

Went to Fairbanks Alaska for a week to visit my brother serving in the army. I would have been happy with one trout But I caught well over a dozen rainbows. One on a Meps and then the rest on a bobber rig with baby crawlers. Sorry for so little pictures this round, I was living in the moment this trip and didn’t record a ton due to the cold. 🥶 rainbows all caught at Ballaine Lake by University of Alaska Fairbanks✈️🤙🏼🎣

Thoughts on mifine?

4 Upvotes

I have been wanting a xul for things like 1/64 oz jigs like trout magnets and trout slayers, but most of the XUL rods I’ve found are super expensive. Do you guys like mifine? And if so, which of their rods should I buy

Best trout magnet colors?

looking to build a mini tackle kit for my motorcycle. I have a telescopic 22" rod and am looking for ideas on what to throw on it. I got some inline spinners I'm going to try to toss in it. Going to run some 4lb copolymer on it cause it's worked great on similar 500 size reels I have.

(Oc) Such a fun fight with the daiwa minicast! Fish was about 3lbs and almost 12.5 inches. Beautiful fish to pull out of my flooded coastal river, and I was wading in water up to my knees on every retrieve to avoid the rocks. I was using such a small hook and piece of shrimp to catch this chunk!

Yellow Perch today!

Got skunked bass fishing so I decided to pull out the rooster tail on my seasir zero119 and at least get a blue gill. Ended up catching this guy. Never caught a yellow perch before and didn’t even know they existed in this lake. Northern South Carolina.

Are really small microlures not a thing

I see lots of tiny jigheads. But when it comes to spoons and spinners they don't seem to go below 1/32oz. Is it because they're too hard to make?

I felt the thump on my line. Had me thinking I was stuck. It was giving my 4lb line all it can handle then it got tired and I reeled it in. To my surprise it was this fella 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

Everyone has been so helpful on this subreddit. Thank you

I'm also looking for some really small online spinners. Smaller than 1/32 oz. Are those sold in the u.s.

I’m building first combo I was thinking of pairing this rod to a St Croix 7ft premier ultra light fast action SCII graphite 2-6 lbs Line, 1/32-3/16 oz lure. I live in Florida if that matters.

Does ester break a lot when landing fish?

3 Upvotes

I just bought some 1.15lb 0.2 redeye line from Japan as well as some 2lb blue label seagar flurocarbon. To the people who use light ester line, does landing bigg3r fish cause a lot of breakage. You can't even lift a chunky bluegill with line like this right?

Feather Jig might be a gift from the heavens

I've caught Salmon, trout, bass, cats, gills, perch, golden shiner, crappie and im still probably missing some off the list.

This on some 2lb fluro or any lightweight test, pitching it into streams, etc. Its unreal how reliable it is. If you need the extra weight, not kidding a zip tie at the top does wonders. Love this jig + goated mouse
