How to Consider a Combination Fishing Line 2007-11-22 06:51:00 Use the strongest and toughest line possible when fishing for game fish. You never know what you are going to hook or on what the line is going to snag. Of course the stronger a line is, the less distance it will cast and the more likely it is to snarl up on the reel. When fishing in a non-motorized boat or wade fishing on a budget you need one rig that you can use under as many situations as possible.Things You'll Need:Fluorocarbon leader of at least 25-pound test20-pound monofilament25-pound test steel leader50 yards of 20-pound test fused microfilamentChoose the right material for the first 8 to 10 inches from the lure. The best material for all-around use is a fluorocarbon leader of at least 25-pound test. Any length over 10 inches makes it harder to cast because of the knot with the casting line. The fluorocarbon leader will work equally as well in bays or the surf. Most game fish will not be able bite through it. Use a 25-pound test steel leader when small shark or mackerel are ...

How to Pick the Right Lure by Knowing What a Fish Sees 2007-10-29 08:39:00 To catch a fish, you should focus on the way fish feed. When fish are in schools and feeding they will bite on almost anything they think is alive and can be swallowed. Fish are slightly more likely to hit on lures that are roughly the same color as the food they are eating at the time. Lures in white, silver or bone will do the trick. While shape doesn’t matter, the size needs to be about the same as their food.Consider a fish's vision. Fish detect movement both to escape a bigger predator and to locate a meal. The size of whatever is moving is the biggest determinant of whether they run or feed. If something is large and moving very slowly on the surface, fish don't react until it is directly over them and then they move off a short distance.When a fish detects sound or vibration in addition to movement, it will be more likely to move away. Without sound or vibration, the fish may assume the object is a log. Alligator gars instinctively understand this and get close to their prey ...

Basic Maintenance Guidelines To Get Optimum Performance of Your Spinning Reel 2007-10-17 17:16:00 Inorder to get the optimum performance out of your spining reel and to prolong its life you have to carry out a simple basic maintenance on your spinning reel. Below are the basic maintenance guidelines to get the optimum performance of your spining reel:After each fishing trip we recommend lightly spraying down your reel with freshwater and then gently wiping away all moisture with a soft clean towel.Do not submerge or use a hard direct spray of freshwater on the reel as this can drive debris such as salt, sand, oils and many other contaminants into the core of your reel. This type of misuse will leave your reel's internal parts to be exposed to standing water that can lead to future problems.Another good means of protection is to use a water displacing lubricant. This helps take away the smallest amounts of water and will form a barrier between your reel and corrosive elements.It is recommended that at least once a year you have your reel serviced. If you spend a lot of time on the ...

Night Fishing Success Depends On The Moon 2007-09-19 19:53:00 Why The Moon Is Your Key To Night Fishing Success?Want to catch more fish at night, watch the moon! Sounds like a crazy idea, doesn't it? Using the moon, you are able to learn several things about fish at night. During a full moon, you are most likely to find fish hiding in the shadows. Don't ask why it's true, but that's what we have seen. When you find shadows on the water (from trees, etc), you know exactly where you need to cast your line. Keep in mind that if there is no moon, you aren't out of luck. This is when the Evening Secret works best, you will really be impressed.If the moonlight is not shining down on the water and there are no shadows, the fish will be much more scattered in the water, making your job of finding them much more difficult.On the other side of the coin, it seems like the fish are more likely to hit when the moon is hidden, either by clouds or a quarter moon. So, the real trick is to use the moon to determine how you are going to fish that particular n ...

How To Maintain Your Spinning Reel 2007-09-19 19:41:00 Most of the time anglers overlook the importance of maintaining or cleaning their spinning reels. Many times your fishing rod and reel simply get thrown in the back of your car or in the storeroom at the end of the fishing season and then dragged out at the beginning of the next season to be used again. Very often your reel will choose to not work properly at precisely the worst time, such as when you're fighting a large fish. This is why you need to do a little routine maintenance on your spinning reels before the start of every fishing season. You only have to lose a trophy one time because of your fishing reel not performing properly to make you a believer. Take my word for it. Do a little routine "check up", such as what's described below, before the beginning of every fishing season and you won't have any problems.First of all, gather the following tools: A small screwdriver, a pair of needle nose pliers or hemostats, grease of some sort (either purchase a small bottle of reel ...

How To Avoid Tangles On Your Spining Reel 2007-09-14 08:28:00 Do you often get your line tangle on your reel while you cast? Have you ever experience how frustrated it can be to free your line when it gets stuck or tangled?Spinning reels often get bird's nests and tangles, which are usually caused by one of few mistakes.1. The line is twisted (nothing a swivel tied to the end of your line can't fix)2. The line is not tight against the spool3. Putting the line on the reel improperly. The line should go onto the reel the same way it comes off the spool, taking advantage of the curve the line has memorized from being stored on the spool. Lay the spool FLAT on the ground (do NOT hold it vertically) and start winding the reel. If tangles begin, turn the spool over. The tangling should stop and your reel should be tangle free for the future, as long as you don't make the other two mistakes.4. Mistakenly overfilling the spool. Spinning reels should never be filled past the front spool lip, or too much line will come out during casting and -POOF!- you ...
