(last summer) guess i'm gonna shoot a email off to shakespear and see what they have to say???

bloocrab · 02-07-2002, 08:23 PM

GBOUTDOORS · 02-07-2002, 08:41 PM

GBOUTDOORS · 02-07-2002, 08:44 PM

I went to CMS the other day and ordered a new rod for my 6500C3. I have never used superbraids but think I will try some on the new rig. Who likes what and what is the down side???

Yep, I'm sure you can't remember

GB, first this is probably not the best thread to ask questions, they may get lost in the sauce.

If you have not fished braid before, I would suggest Fireline. It was the first braid I tried, it helped in the distance of my casts and it's characteristics are not that far from mono other than the no-stretch and ya have to use a palomar knot.
Fireline is not actually a braid, it's micro-dyneema. But it still has very little stretch. Once it is broken in it gets softer and turns whiter. I would start with 20 lb then maybe try 14 lb for that 6500 reel.

I still use fireline 14 lb for surf fishing and I use whiplash 65lb for jigging the canal.

Slipknot · 02-07-2002, 08:54 PM

so what kind of rod and what blank did ya order anyway?

GBOUTDOORS · 02-07-2002, 09:05 PM

Thanks Slip I was leaning twards the Fireline. I posted this here in hopes that we would get some others to post as everyone has their favorite line but looks like it did not work. Have you been to the new Dunkin Donuts on 28 yet. Just finished that one and are now doing one over in Lakeville off 105.

Slipknot · 02-07-2002, 09:15 PM

have not been to the new one yet, I don't drink coffee.

GBOUTDOORS · 02-07-2002, 09:27 PM

You are the first woodworker I have known that does not drink coffee. Seems some days all I do is have coffee with one customer after another. Try that and drive around all day makes for lots of stops along the way.

AnthonyN · 02-07-2002, 09:45 PM

Well as far as braid goes I have never used it. I just picked up some Whiplash about a week ago and plan on using it for pluggin. Hopefully it works out well! I tried a few test casts and it workes great.

ONE QUESTION!!!!!!

I put the line on and didn't put enough backing so i have over an 1/8" left on the spool do you thin I should wind it on another spool than put more back and rewind again?? or will that mess up the line!!!!

thanks

this will prolly get lost but atleast I am added to the thread

AnthonyN · 02-07-2002, 09:47 PM

I LOVE TOG

AnthonyN · 02-07-2002, 09:48 PM

Speakin of TOG and braid I think I will try this whiplash stuff instead of 30lb mono. Will help me horse up some of the fatties. 60lb Mono leader with the 80lb braid should work wonders! I'll be pulling up rocks and tog!

Jenn · 02-08-2002, 12:01 AM

holy smokes! looks like I have been missing all the fun around here lately!!!!!

If I am not mistaken somewhere WAY back dsomeone asked where the girls were....well here I am but I dunno where FW is......HA! I actually beat her at something .....magine that!

Jenn · 02-08-2002, 12:02 AM

once upon a time there was a girl named Jenn....she was afraid to stick around this place because she was afraid of getting CRABS!!!

there sure are a lotta crabs round here...

sorry couldnt help myself

Jenn · 02-08-2002, 12:10 AM

bloocrab · 02-08-2002, 01:07 AM

..GB,........I've tried a few braids and chose Fireline as my favorite, for now....

...The PowerPro is too.....ummm.....fickle, I like the way Fireline "loosens" up after usage. The PowerPro can be a tad bit messier at times....

...Like Slip said, start with the 20...and work your way down. Either way, you'll notice a BIG difference with your casts...

....I won't say its like Night and Day.......its more like Midnight and Noon......

.it almost feels like the times when you whip something out there...and the line busts, and it justs keeps on sailing and sailing...

The Key is:....make sure it stays wrapped around the spool tightly!!!.....One bad loop somewhere in your spool..and

YOU'RE IN TROUBLE......same thing with a knot, eh Slip?..

slipknot, knotslip....cast it out and let it rip!!.....

bloocrab · 02-08-2002, 01:10 AM

...somebody post a picture of Jenn for me....I'LL FIX HER LITTLE RED WAGON!!!

Anthony, your best bet for that would be to wind it on to an extra spool if you have one then do like you said and put more backing on.
I thought an 1/8" was good, do you want it to be 1/16" instead?

In the future you could start with the extra spool first working backwards, much easier.

I buy 1000 yds so I re-spool and don't worry untill the last spooling.

Hi Jenn

Hi Jenn

For all of the people that think we've gone simply bonkers on this thread, I just wanted to repost why we're doing this

Quote:

There is a competition amongst other people that use the same message board program as we do here at S-B. It started a couple days ago and for Grins & Giggles, I figured we could jump in too. Now there is no prize and I won't get a gold star on my forehead if we join in but I figured - Why Not?

Below are the rules that were put together by the guy who started this competition.

So do we have a chance of winning? Hell no! Some of these sites have more users than we do posts but I think we can be a little respectable

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A bit of fun, Longest Thread Competition (post #1)

I was thinking that we would have a bit of fun on out forums, and start a "Longest Thread Competition"

The idea is that you start a thread on your site called "The Longest Thread in History" like I have done here, and then try and make it longer than anyone else’s forums longest thread (if you know what I mean).

The topic of the thread is open to what anyone wants to talk about, for example we have played word games, asked random questions, discussed the weather, and just had a really good time.

I guess that because this is not going to be anything more than a bit of fun, we only need a few rules, but here they are:

1, The longest thread must be a new thread started when you enter the competition.
2, The thread must be named "The Longest Thread in History".
3, once you have started your thread, you must post a link to it here.
4, the competition starts as soon as you post your link.
5, You can talk about whatever you want but dont post short messages only like smilies or "k".
6, the competition ends in one month - 4th March 2002, (so you had better enter quick)

Now I fully admit that I've got a bit of a head start on you guys, but my forum is so small that it would be EASY for you guys to catch up with me, and just think of the appraisal when you over take the guy that started this competition.

Now after all, this is nothing more than a bit of fun, so there will be no prizes other than an announcement on my forum stated that you have won (I personally will not be entering the competition because I’ll be moderating it)

And remember, as they used to say on The Big Breakfast, "Don't phone in, it's just for fun".

On your marks, Get set, GO!!

....Jenn, my last snowmobiling trip was a FLOP!!!.....We had called up for reservations, and were told that we wouldn't be needing any......to just "come on up"....

.....So we did, we "came on up"....and when we got there we figured we'd go early, so we beat the owners to the shop. When the finally opened the doors up we hurried inside and said "2 snow mobiles, please"...
....they asked, "Do you have reservations?"....

we said, "No, when we called up, we were told that we didn't need any!"

..."Oh yes, of course you do" said the clerk...."Who did you speak to when you called up?"...the clerk asked.

..."Whomever answers your phones!!!"....we answered.

...He said "well, why don't you wait a little while and see if we have any NO SHOWS"....

.....so we waited...

.....EVERYONE SHOWED UP !!!!......OF COURSE.....and so we wasted the morning and any chance of gettting any rentals anywhere else that day...

....NEVER AGAIN!!....I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE RESERVATIONS NEXT TIME!!!....

bloocrab · 02-08-2002, 08:26 AM

...We ended up on SNOW TIRES for the afternoon, which turned out to be more FUN than I thought......

.....except for walking back up that friggin hill, everytime!!!...

......AAAAAAAh, the lessons life teaches us........they're endless...
