Fishing Rods And Reels For Sale
Should i give up one kind of fishing and just focus on another type?
I just fish for TOO many species it seems like. Catfish, carp, panfish & bass are REGULARLY targeted by me & it’s taking a little from my wallet. I mean i love them all equally but i thought maybe i should slack down on one species and target one more frequently? I have to do something. I guess and can still go about with fishing for those but bass, catfish/carp & panfish all need seperate gear, and everytime i see a sale i buy it. Now if i just did bass fishing i would just have a little over a dozen reels/rods or so. I could sale some of my other fishing supplies and could earn profit.
Maybe I’m just going crazy or something but the wallet is telling me to do something.
Just see what you anglers out their think i should do.
The best part about fishing Cats & Panfish is you don’t really need expensive gear…….
One of the best Catfish rods are Ugly Stiks; they are cheap and do the job WELL. And other than some lead weight, corks, leader line & circle hooks you only really need your fav catfish bait.
And the best part of Bluegill/Crappie fishing is you can get a ultra-lite rod on the cheap. And other than micro-jigs, terminal tackle & corks you can catch a mess of tasty ‘Gil’s on the cheap.
On the other hand, Bass fishing (in my opinion) requires some “deniro”.
Why?
Depending on where you live, most areas in the US see some “fishing pressure”. It’s proven that over time Bass get acclimated/conditioned to seeing certain lures and won’t strike them anymore. That’s why those cool old lures, (like the Bass Oreno, Creek Chub, Paw Paw) don’t work well anymore in certain areas of the US.
(Obviously, if you live in a remote area that receives less fishing pressure, those older lures will be more productive.)
The fact is: People that have the most “cutting edge” lures, lines, rods, electronics have a distinct advantage over those that can’t afford “the good stuff”. If Bass get conditioned to lures over time, you have to constantly “update” your tackle to stay ahead of “the game”. This requires money.
If your gonna get serious about Bass fishing you HAVE to spend money…..
OR
……accept the catch ratio people that insist on using antiquated gear end up getting.
In my opinion, keep (or buy) your 1 Ugly Stik combo for Cat and Carp fishing……
Keep (or buy) your 1 inexpensive Ultra-lite rod combo for Panfish………
Spend your money and extra time on Bass……
EDIT: The point? Continue fishing for whatever species you want, but realize that Cats, Carp, Panfish require very little money to do correctly.
In other words, you don’t need 3 outfit’s per species of Cat, Carp, Panfish to have fun and be productive.
But, if your gonna be a dedicated Bass fisherman (that actually catches his limit every time he goes) you HAVE to spend money. In my opinion, Bass are one species of fish where you actually NEED a full tackle box and 3-5 outfit’s to pursue correctly, (for the reasons I stated above).
It’s just a matter of your level of dedication and how many “fish per hour” you want to catch.
Must you own the “finest”, most expensive, tackle and gear for Bass fishing? No.
But to catch Bass consistently you need the basics: a rod dedicated to Crankin’, Wormin’ & Jiggin’ & Flippin’. That’s 3 rod/reel combo’s each with a different action.
To be successful, you need Topwater lures, Jigs, Soft
Plastic’s, Spinners, & Cranks/Stickbaits.
Does every lure in your T-box need to be a Lucky Craft? No.
But, you DO need to have some of each category to be prepared for whatever you encounter on the water.
Hope this helps clarify what I meant? And BOOYAH. (lol)
