Maybe he was turning them into fireships. It was a naval warfare tactic in the days of sailing ships.

rum n vodka equal paradise

^^I know, that's what I was thinking of, but I decided to be silly instead.

vampire rum. it bites

I can watch videos again!!
Yay!

^Oh, that's great! I picked the Honest Trailer because I thought you would find it funny.

I've never heard of a hook sharpner. I think my hooks are pretty sharp. When they don't feel sharp anymore, I change them with new ones, or "down grade" the lures to cod and mackerel, as they have softer tissue in there mouths. I've never heard about using weights to adjust spool either? Do you mean adjusting the brake? I do that while fishing, as it depends on the size of the fish. Pound test line, what's that?

I always use treble hooks. I know for a fact my rod is not a good choice. It's a telescope type. It's so practical to use though.

I use a hand reel exclusively.
I don't know anyone else who still uses a hand reel or knows how to cast with one.

^When I google hand reel something shows up that I've never seen before.

This



I use Shimano Exage 2500

^ yes, that's it.
Mine is yellow.

I wouldn't know the first thing about using a rod and reel.

I tried to find a video of someone casting with a hand reel but none of them are as good as I am.

^Edit! I see you are a master at it

If you're fishing from a boat you don't have to maybe?

I'm familiar with this type. You don't cast with them, just let it sink straight down from the boat. Maybe you can also use it hanging from the boat, at the same time as driving slowly. I'm not sure about that.

I edited my previous post.

Of course... We will just have to take your words for it then

^ I usually cast from the bank.
I can cast quite a long way with my method.
Basically, you reel out about two feet of line which you hold with your right hand, resting the line on your forefinger and pinching it with your thumb, then another two feet between your right and left hand, then you put your left thumb on the reel to prevent any more unraveling.
You then swing the line vertically in an anti clockwise direction until you built up enough velocity that it makes a swishing sound.
You then release it at a high angle and make sure the reel is facing front with the shorter end outermost so the line comes off cleanly.

I'm also an expert at casting a bait net.
