Use heavier for shot line. I constantly adjust my shot on fly and spinning rod. Centerpin I'm still sorting but I prefer to lose leader and hook over shot line or worse still float. I use Float on heavier mainline, shot line is 8 lbs ish. Leader is 4-6 for steelhead. That helps break at leader...

Taper is for my homemade shooting line so to speak. I run a flat taper fly line as a head. Lately playing with 12” amnesia section to give me some visibility in low light or above float now that I’m running a camo style hollow mono on my centerpin. Thinking of trying it on spinning rods to give...

Some do, I taper down from 10 lbs gold to 4 or 6 depending on turbidity. I’ll go heavier if I can. If I could get by with 10 lbs I’d hedge on that side. I run 4 lbs mainline for casting distance so at some point it doesn’t matter how heavy the leader is.

I pay $0.00 per hour and no benefits, get hurt here you were fired before you showed today. I’ll take all that want to apply legal or not.

More important lives in Pulaski and girlfriend fishes too. He travels steelhead alley under STLHD brand so not the average local but still access in minutes might help a bit.

For those 10” bass you chase and pickerel that trout minnows would eat it won’t matter. I recall spincast like you prefer do best with 6-8 lbs. I think in Seaguar Leader your comparable to 4lbs mono thickness at 8-10 lbs if not higher. Starts to be more visible and diminishing returns but the...

Pure tensile would be easy to test but I’d want a decent sample set. Knot strength I could build a hook jig to sped up testing but that would lead to which knot, how it seated, etc. I’d want 10 to have a decent statistical sample. Who wants to volunteer to tie 2-300 knots so I can test 20-30...

Honestly, only reason I found Blue was due to smaller spool size fitting my pack. Gold was a “more expensive must be better” situation. 6 lbs I’ll wrap my forearm to break snags and if I don’t lean in it still won’t break the first or third try. Still have the tensile tester and software if...

I run blue if I’m slumming, Gold if available. I used STS in 4lbs for my first 2 steelhead and 6 lbs for my first 3 kings including a 45” male and 2 20 lbs hens. I ran it behind 12 lbs big game and no issues though after 3 salmon that size on one leader the next fish, a massive tail waking coho...

Happy as I was to see the creek drop and clear some just hours after flooding stopped it was gin clear today. It doesn’t hold water well with wide eroded banks, smooth slate, and straight run to Lehigh without many bends or narrowing.

24” 8 lbs on the nose. He cast, hooked, and landed in the heavy flow by himself. My daughter fell in up to her waist so we left as they tallied winners. She had a few hook jaw Brookies that looked a little big for natives but not our stockies and a wild brown. He won 5th for his age group. I’m...

All about priorities, besides, Trout are in season all year.

I find they break long before the get brittle. My oldest is 4.5 years old and needs guides.

I did well with them on carp. Well elderly dog food with a hook through but imagine these be the same. Used single corn kernel as a 20 yo harassing carp in an Erie runoff. Imagine if I’d realized water around Canandaigua had steelhead?!? Life would’ve turned out very different.

Lol, it’s for the kids honest! Been buying carp gear from Asia and Europe.

Not my kid so I edited. This was last years kids day. May 7th this year, Slatington covered bridge.

Few floaters sadly, the 20”+ bows weren’t in them either. Oh well, good day on The Dock.

Kids got out a little. Honestly more time spent stocking and prepping for kids day than anything. Any one in the area May 7th in Slatington we will host kids day. My back can testify to the temp Dams we just put in. 900 monster trout, even by my standards which are artificially inflated from...

A few guys wanted to try and hand grab the last few. I stayed true the ‘Cat name and snatched out 40 to their 2 lol. Guess I should skip hook/line and use fingers from now on. Seem to catch more that way.

Caught in my hands as I put in water anyway lol
