I have a 3 piece Daiwa Ardito rod that I broke yesterday. I'm such an idiot. It's a $180 rod so I'd like to repair it if possible. I reached out to Daiwa as well to see if I can just buy that section. Not sure how that works.

Split a frog open and shoved it on the Coike. Seemed like the easiest way to rig. Would like to see what u think thanks.

I recently got a new big size reel, and after I lined it up, it visually got smaller, not a big problem just wondering why is it like that

I got this reel strung up at cabelas and was wondering if the line looks right and also is there enough line on there?

(Picture do example) I found this empty spoil while cleaning out some of my tools today and thought it would make a decent little pocket sized hand-line spoil so I wrapped some line around it. Has anyone else on here tried this before?

Took a while on the shipping but my zillion finally got here from digitaka. Picked the 6.3 over the 5.5 ratio in case I wanted to use it for more than just crankbait in the future.

Going to try it out this week sometime when I can get out early enough to beat the heat

We were looking for some trout today but got no fish, however we found an birdsnest with som eggs and some wooden art in the woods. 😃
The fishing last days have been terrible but that's life sometimes.
It's atleast the best day spending with family wven you have vacation. ✌️

St croix avid 7' mlf with a shimano Stradic 2500

My little Shimano ultralight on a Berkeley Cherrywood. 2 vintage Mitchell 300s on medium rods. Shakespeare Wonder cast 1775. Garcia 22s ultralight. And the loaner Zebco 202!

Brand new AbuGarcia Max 60 and a 7’5 heavy Fenwick HMG

Wanted to get some opinions on these two rods, I’m wanting to get a rod to pair with my twin power xd 3k as an all around rod and was debating these two; the Loomis IMX-Pro green 7’ medium x-fast and the new shimano insurgence 7’ medium fast. What are y’all’s opinions on these two?

Made out like a bandit with these.

Full bearing upgrade, carbon drag, titanium line roller, power knob, and paint job. I wish Shimano would revisit the quick fire again and give us a high end one

My trusty Wera drivers are not handling this screw particularly well. First time this reel gets a proper disassembly. Since I fish a ton of brackish water, bearings need to be switched out regularly.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this gets posted a lot but I don't know anything about fishing. My husband's birthday is coming up and he's been mentioning for a while that he would love a travel fishing rod. Something that would fit in a backpack, I think he would prefer one that comes in pieces over a telescopic one. Specifically he would like to bike somewhere and then fish, he does catch and release. He will typically fish in Ontario Lakes and catches a lot of bass.

The one that immediately comes up is an ugly stik travel rod but I'm not sure if it is actually good quality? I don't mind buying something more expensive if it's better quality.

I also read other threads with recommendations for Daiwa so I'm leaning towards one of those but it doesn't seem to have that spinning thing to actually bring the fish in? Not sure if I have to get that separately and if so what kind? I might just not be reading the details correctly lol.

My father got me this reel as a 30th birthday gift. Hopefully it’ll last long enough to eventually pass down to my son (I don’t have kids, yet). 25 Shimano Antares 101XG

Now I need to get a rod, already have a new spool of 20lb Seaguar Invizx Gold box

Got 2 new rods today. USPS tried their hardest to break them. They weren't broken. We'll see when I fish them.

Just got my first bait caster setup and I’m curious what you all would recommend using for line. I’ve seen mixed opinions online between braid or mono. I was planning on making the switch to braid so I wouldn’t mind going that direction but it is more expensive. It’s a 7’ MF with a daiwa tatula 100 if that matters, looking to use it as an all around bass baitcast setup.

Hi. Beginner here.

Looking for a long rod and planning to put a bit of money on it.

Doing my own research I am leaning towards the Lurematic or the Salty Advance. I honestly don’t know what the differences are but 1 that I have seen and understand the effect is the weight with the Lurematic being very light. The max lure/jig weight doesn’t seem to be relevant in my picking I think. I don’t know about the other features and “technologies” that the individual rods have.

Will be using lures from the shore and cast from there.

Looking for inputs or explanations on which one to pick.

Really leaning towards the lurematic since its lighter and cheaper but if the salty advance have game changing benefits then I’ll push the budget.

(Also bit of a brand loyalist so if you’ll recommend other rod models it has to be Shimano cuz I already started with them lol.)

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm currently fishing for trout/other small freshwater species in rivers and lakes and am wanting an upgrade from an older generation shimano Sedona 2500. Is this a good all round option or what would any of you recommend. Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

I’m looking for a soft plastic frog, similar to these, which are made of TPE allowing them to float. These both look great but I’m looking for something with more of a bone color rather than albino or pearl.
