Questions, Questions, There good I guess and a general starting point for a novice. However most of threads that ask questions become personal platforms for touting whats better in there own opinion and it becomes a helpless back and forth that confuses the guy that asks's the question even more!I am as guilty as anyone else here! I admit it, but it does little good for the asker.Sometimes is mind boggling to see 50 responces of differing opinions on something as simple as a snap swivel...Doesnt anyone try this stuff for themselves anymore? Sometimes to much info is a terrible thing and will have you spending money and scratching your head so bad you will end up s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g your thumb on a couch someplace afraid to make cast one!
It used to be you head to the local bait shop ask the people what a good starting point was and go from there....Who is to say someone will like braid over mono? or conventional over spinning? or this plug over that plug? "Which plug is better" thats one of the dumbest questions there is ! What works in one persons hands wont have the same results in anothers..Fisherman especially new guys need to really experimant for themselves and see what works for them as individual's. "what are the 4 plugs you carry when the moon is half towards new and the wind is east and the trees are blooming" So stupid...
Because joe blow does well with a certain plug it doesnt mean that the next guy will see the same results...And that even works for baitfishing...every single method there is has its nuances and some people just have a "touch" that others will never have! Still even more are just born with that certain something that cannot be taught or duplicated...and to go even further, I have to say some guys just are not cut out to be good at this sport, no matter how hard they try or what they do they just dont have "it" and that "it" factor can be very important, its not something that can be taught or explained or duplicated, you either have it or you dont...
So when it comes down to it, I think the best advice to give is to acually get out there and do it and learn what works for you on your own , its good to get hints but in the end the only way you learn is by doing and simply "seeing for yourself" without taking any ones word for it.
Oh and remember that Joe Blow who did good on that plug? odds are he doesnt even know why
Most times the guy had no idea why a fish ate it...Acually 100% of the time ! No one knows why a fish does what it does..
You will never make fish do what you want them to do..You cannot force your will on them, to many people put it in human terms...fish do not..Go out there and try and fail and succeed on your own, it will be very fufilling in the end and then you to can add your 2cents to the next guy that asks a question!
There are no shortcuts.....
