    Bimini Twist

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Hi All 

     

    Got cut off on the rocks when I was lure fishing  for pelagics . Just wanted to know if any one has tried using a bimini twist to a swivel to the lure 

    Or is it better to just have a heavier leader line 

     

    Thanks

    HI All

    I was planning on getting an Alvey rod/reel . Would like to know if any of you have used one before 

    Is there anything I need to know 

    How have your experiences been 

    Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has an Alvey reel to find out how their experience has been so far 

     

    Thanks

    Is it better to use a swivel for soft plastics light tackle?

    Hi 

    After using soft plastics for bream flathead on a light setup. I noticed  the braid line twisting while replacing fluro .

    Would like to know if it better to have fluro connected to a snap swivel and then to the jighead?

    Or is it best to have fluro connect to jighead itself?

    Any downsides to the braid twisting over a period of time ?

    Would like to know your thoughts .

    Thanks

     

    Info on how to reduce wind knots

    Hi All 

     

    Thanks for the info . I managed to have an entire fishing session without any wind knots " Fingers crossed". I realized a couple of mistakes I kept making . 

     

    1. Reel had too much line on it . Removed a bit of line so that it's not overspooled.

    2. When I cast, if its against the wind . I get alot of slack line . To avoid it  I close the bail when I feel there is enough line out . Once I close the bail I pull a bit of line with my hand . This avoids any slack on the line in the spool.

    Thank you all very much. Appreciate it.

    I use an FG knot :)

    Hi All 

     

    Need some info on how to reduce wind knots . I started spinning recently and keep getting wind knots quite often . I have a saragosa 6000 with 30lb tasline on a SHIMANO JEWEL 962 8-15KG SPIN ROD . Initially I believed the knots were caused cause the fluro was 60lb . I moved this down to 40lb and noticed some improvement . Any assistance would be appreciated 

     

    Thanks

     

    Lure fishing rod info

    Hi All 

    I am looking for info on a lure fishing rod ( Spinning Reel) . Going to be using it for hardbody lures/ metal lures weighing around 50gms .Is there a difference between jig spin rod / top water rod ? I would be fishing off the rocks so something around 8ft  rod length would be ideal . Shimano jewel had a top water rod around 8ft . Is this a good option, or if you guys know anything with Daiwa or Penn would be great

    Thanks

    Thanks for the info Jim .I tried getting onto the rocks from the walkway but was unsuccessful . Usually  when Im at the wharf  I do a couple of guys fishing from there . I  guess I would keep trying or one just go there to find that spot:)

    That rocky point accesses some quite deep water in close.

    I've caught some jumbo bream, legal snapper and salmon from there and I have heard its a reasonable Jew spot but I can't vouch for that.

    Good luck

    Jim

    How do you get there .I tried a couple of times but to no avail
