Information

A group devoted to the Angler and the Angler at Heart.

If the topic has anything to do with fishing, this is the place to post. Tell us your fishing stories, talk about tackle old and new! What you like and what you don’t like.

Bought some new equipment and want to tell us about? We want to hear about it.

Thinking about buying a new pole and want to know it if it is worth the money? Ask up!

Do you collect fishing tackle? Show it off with pride!

Any type of angler with any skill level is welcome!

And as this is I Knife Collector, this is also a place to talk about the knives made, used and collected by anglers! We especially want to see your fishing knives -- in the tackle box, on display, or in action!

Picked up two purpose made Fish Cleavers. On is made by Ka-Bar, the other by Robeson. I'm not sure if anyone is still making these but they really seemed to be a perfect size for cutting bait fish…Continue

Comment by Rick Hooper on June 21, 2015 at 21:15: The 202 and model 33 have been, the most popular reels in west Tn for the last 40 years. One on my 33's is over 30 years old, I lube the gears every spring with the line change, and it works. No telling how many catfish been dragged out of the water with a 202 around here!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 21, 2015 at 20:53: Thanks Charles and Rick. I'm pretty happy with it. It's my second ultra light that I've bought. It appears to be filled with Zebco Cajan Red Cast 4 lb test line. Seems to work pretty smoothly. We'll see in a week or two (or maybe sooner, if i go after work during the week!)

Featured Comment by Charles Sample on June 21, 2015 at 20:29: Nice outfit Tobias! Nothing wrong with Zebco. To this day I guess the reel that I have caught the most fish on was a Zebco 202!

Comment by Rick Hooper on June 21, 2015 at 20:23: Nice setup! Time to wet a hook!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 21, 2015 at 18:18: Father's Day present from my daughter.:

Zebco 33 Micro Triggerspin Gold Ultra Light Spincast Combo (2-Piece), 5-Feet

Of course I had just came back from fishing just before the present arrived! Yessir, I mostly fish with Zebco and/or Shakespeare rods and reels. It's what i can afford I guess this Ultralight is going to have to wait until next week!.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 21, 2015 at 18:11: You're gonna need a big hook!

Comment by Rick Hooper on June 21, 2015 at 12:46: Yep, not sure if the rifle is 22 or a 30-30, and we all thought Texas had big grass hoppers!

Comment by Jan Carter on June 21, 2015 at 12:15: LOL, the grasshopper was harder to catch than the seabass I bet!

Comment by Rick Hooper on June 21, 2015 at 9:47: To catch the big bass like this, you will need the big bait to entice a bite from a monster like this!
