I have 2 Abu Garcia Black Max baitcasters on 20 lb. braid and an 8-year-old, at least, Shimano spinning reel on 10 lb. braid.

It's nice, but a pain casting with wind.

I want to setup some reels on straight fluro for windy days.

 

I don't have a problem on rocks with it.

 

I usually try to use lighter hooks so I can break the hook. Cause the line isn’t breaking.

 

If they are smooth ones its ok, some places are real jagged like rip-rap. Ive lost countless fish in rip-rap rocks

 

I haven’t had any issues casting and I’m usually on the beach. I’m using 3-4oz weights too though. I’m running 40lb braid.

 

I fish spillways, mainly, and they are nothing BUT jagged rocks here. I just keep an eye on my line when I'm done retrieving. One of my reels did lose about 2' of line the last time I went out (had to cut it; too worn), but 110' is only $10 and that'll fill a reel.

 

I'm only fishing small freshwater fish. Biggest so far is a 14 pound Buffalo.

 

I’m hoping for Jaws.

 

I got a phenix rod, it does not at all like splices. Its a smooth caster though.

 

Hope you have a steel leader

 

I wouldnt eat one but that had to be fun

 

Me, too.

Hasn't showed up, yet.

 

Water does wonders for a yard

 

I caught it in the busted 10 lb shimano rig.

It was a blast lol.

 

So does digging and dog piss! FML!
