Is there an association for cruelty to insects?:)

Nope...that's why I left the smiley at the end of my remark:)
Personally if it weren't for the fact that our favorite hobby (fishing)
couldn't exist without insects, I would zap every single one of those pesty
lil creatures........

I believe BaitGal is dead serious. There are, in fact, several groups
that are devoted to "cruelty to insects". You will notice BaitGal is
asking if these associations are "for" this cruelty.

The folks that make Raid and some other bug killers would fall into this
order. Perhaps bait fishermen when using grasshoppers or crickets.

I know my response to a mosquito attack is less than charitable. 8¿)

Nooooo....please...everyone...I was just kidding...really!:)
Oh...by the way...I have a question regarding fishing if anyone can help me
out here:)
I don't have expensive tackle...just plain ole Jane type stuff.
When the line on my pole coils terribly after casting I am assuming it's
time to replace it.
My question is....Is there a recommendation for a type of line that coils
less?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sincerely,
Beverly

Hi Shawn,

Spinning reel with 10# test. I would go with a lighter weight line but I
just KNOW I'm gonna hook "the big one" and my line will snap....hehehe

Bev,

Some of the more forgiving mono's are Stren EasyCast and
Berkley's...hmm....can't recall right now. Anywho, in my experience they all
coil up when you get to half a spool or less, at which point you want to
spool 'er back up anyway. When I keep the spool topped off I don't have much
of a problem with any mono coiling up, 'cept when I get silly and throw
crankbaits. P-Line was good to me as is Big Game, but now I've got 'em
strung with Fireline.

I'm sure I read way too much onto your post, but here goes:

For castability I have used Trilene XL (extra limp). Since I have found
myself dragging line around bridge abutments and such I have gone to the XT
line instead (Extra Tough?)

Regarding your choice of line weight. I have found I get more hits with the
lightest most minimal line and tackle. Because of that I may choose to cast
a spinner without a swivel and just live with the twisted line on some days.
I get more hits in marginal circumstances. I have also noticed a difference
when using the little ball bearing swivels vs the old cheap gold/brass
swivels.

As to worrying about the big one. I guess thats a choice to make. My first
really decent bass was a 4 1/2 lb large mouth I caught on 6 lb test using a
cheap Olympia spinning reel on a light action fly rod. I was fishing a
small pond on the Gila River. I used the length of the rod and the ability
to move around the pond to keep the fish out of the rocks and brush. On
that same rig I caught a 5 lb channel cat when blue gill fishing in the
Colorado River one day. I chased him quite a ways when he hit the channel
and decided to swim down streem, but I landed him. Somtimes nearly swimming
in the deeper places to keep up. I landed him.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think a lot of the people who go
after the big fish use heavier tackle and heavier line. I think they
sacrifice a lot of smaller fish because of it. Sure its possible to land
bigger fish on light tackle. I was hoping to set some line test records
myself, but there is a certain amount of trade off.

When fishing finicky canal bass I have often gone to 6 lb line and 1/6 oz
spinners to keep from spooking them. I also didn't really figure I would be
pulling up any of those 5-20 lb cats that sometimes come out of the canal.
If I had I certainly would have used different line and tackle.

Sadly, its very hard to find a universal rod setup that will work really
well for every circumstance. The extreme in examples I suppose is the
difference between a light action flyrod for little stream trout to a heavy
level wind baitcaster and pool cue type rod for those 100+lb cats I hear
they catch in the Mississippi River. Neither would be appropriate for the
other application.

Maybe the answer to your desire to use lighter line sometimes is ta have
several rods setup with lines and tackle so you can switch. Sure, if you
insists on having Loomis rods that is not practical for most. On the other
hand for rods you use less often you might decide an IM6 or IM7 that can be
had pretty reasonably at Wally World would be adequate.

P.S. I'm a rank amateur. I have seen some of the pros bring in fish in
lakes I have given up on.

Everyone,

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Time to go to the "candy store"...:)
I guess I am used to heavier wieght line having been used to salmon fishing
in Oregon.
Time to learn something new!
Much appreciated!
Bev
