Jwl1 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 As for the guides...my steelie rod has bigger and ceramic....a bit of cooking spray helps on the super cold days and doesn't degrade the line.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange crush from last season out with you has got all my fish so far this season....lost my last one because of someone downstream a mile from me tangled my line..then had the audacity to try to tell me to watch where I casted....lol...while in the meantime I was casting straight out from myself not even remotely downstream....and funny how never once got tangled with the people who where 2 feet on either side of me 🤔🤪🤣....need to get out and get some more off you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braid Jack ? Some of my older braid will soak up moisture (oils) while my newest braid that Peter's spooled up my carp reel is coated to repel water . I tend to favour mono when casting in minus temps. How about soaking the spool of line on the reel with "spray" silicone .... would it degrade the line ?

Jwl1 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 No braid bill....and I use 6 and 8lb test for all my fishing in the river...casts farther...doesn't cut into your guides or reel if you dont have gear designed for braid...and I like line that breaks off easy if I have a tough snag...most of the snags where I fish are from the miles of braid and heavy line that someone had to cut a mile off of....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ya Jack , some spots are a carpet of 20 - 50# braid ....probably loaded with trout flies , roe , spoons , etc. BTW ....it don't look good as we may be getting an inch of rain tonight into Sat. , then an inch of snow ....ugh !!
