Big fat pike

Went with a buddy in the in Lowes Fishing Machine 1675 Boat in the islands last year and it held up fine and and maxed out with everything including the trailer the boat would come up to $37,000 maxed out and new and is also small enough you could get in hemlock though you could only use the trolling motor

So i am going on a trip to Hastings in a couple weeks and was looking for a small spot nearby (within 20 minutes)to fish for pike from shore the area is near the sunoco by the saab parts store 1982 US-11 Hastings, NY 13076 United States

And the rod description says the rod guide sizes are size 6 what does that mean

Alright what about sizing for rods you dont have yet

Ok thx so the ones i run currently are too small and the material the bead is made of doesnt matter and is harmless as long as its too big to even partially fit in rod guide Thank you solves my paranoia with these new rods which material i get would depend on whether I want the fish to see it as an attractant, look like lure is wounded and chasing it, and extra weight bonus

I was worried about just buying regular old beads even when they are large enough still damaging the eye which is why i have been so concerned

I use them on all my rods and usually fish snags occasionally use trout fishing , fish the snags and i am a person that likes to have something and be set on it and not have to worry about running out

Do you know what material those beads are made of so i could buy a 1000 pk from somewhere else

Am yet to use a bead that large Will give a try on a rod in case the beads i was using was too small though that was what i was doing

I know some people use beads to protect their rod guides from swivels and clients reeling up swivels and lures to the rod guide and was wondering what beads you guys use because despite using beads I guess the ones I was using weren’t big enough to not damage the guides itself

They got a camera as well

In perry

Silver lake has ice

I think it was ridiculous that the rainbow decline in hemlock stopped the walleye stocking but they should raise it back to 2

I was wondering if anyone else here was big in buying Made In USA and starting a Made In USA Tackle and Equipment List

Cant go wrong with a daredevle my guess would be weed edges 8-10ft but thats just a guess based on what I know though
