A new edition to the Hybrid family, the Hybrid Hyspin. The Hyspin with its unique cupped blade creates a great vibration that predator fish love to hate and just can’t resist. The first of its kind and highly innovative, the Red Flash ™, is a red flashing blade that provides the appearance of “blood in the water” to create a feeding frenzy. This unique blade flashes a transparent Candy Apple Red finish on one side, and the other it ‘s either bright gold or cold chrome. You’ll have to see this blade in action to believe it. This All-American made Jig Spinner is field tested and guide approved to help you catch more fish. The Hyspin is made of a rust free heavy gage stainless steel with all solid brass and nickel components. That makes the Hyspin strong enough to withstand the rigors of fishing the saltwater boilers to the test of the toughest bull red. This jig spinner is so versatile, by simply varying the size and weight of the jig head you add, you control the depth and speed of the presentation. Fish it in the skinny water or slow roll the great depths. Combine this with your favorite Hybrids Flurry Minnow ™ swimbait and it makes a fantastic addition to your tackle box. Available in color combinations of chrome, heavy 24 Kt. gold plate and the new Red Flash ™.

I recently bought a fishing rod that I have online used twice. The problem is, the reeling line is really loose and wavy, and I don’t know why. Are all new fishing rods like this, or is this a quality problem? How can I fix this? It’s a Shakespeare fishing rod, if that matters.
It sounds as if the line just hasn’t been spooled under sufficient tension.If you can find somewhere out in the wide open put your reel onto your rod, thread it up, fix the end of the line to something, open the bail arm of the reel and walk backwards letting the line strip off the reel.
When all the line has stripped off ( that is likely to be a couple of hundred yards line) close the bail arm, run the line through the palm of your right hand, grasp the rod with the little finger of the same hand and begin reeling in, applying a bit of resistance to the line as you do so.
You will obviously have to walk back towards where you secured the line as you go. Once you’ve done this I doubt that you’ll need to do it again. The resistance produced by normal use of your reel should keep the spooling reasonably tight. Hope that helps.

I have no paperwork for either model that instructs you how to change the fishing line. I’ve seen schematics for the model 170 but no instructions for either model. These are the ’60-’70′s vintage reels. Thank you.
Have you try to take the top off because there should be a area in there where line suppose to go but if you have any problem you should just go to a local bait and tackle shop and im pretty sure they would help you or they would even ask if you want line on them and they would gladly put fishing line on your reel for a cheaper price then if you bought a whole 300 YRD line at the store.

I am fishing with ultra light. I am thinking of getting this: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0048964122330a&navCount=8&podId=0048964&parentId=cat600394&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat20166-cat20180-cat600394&catalogCode=XK&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat600394 4 pounds test. My only confusion is that it says that it is a filler line. Is it ok to use as a leader?
I also have a second question. I realize that I need to use a Fluorocarbon line because I am fishing a Trout which is a very careful fish. What do you guys think if I would use this line as a couple of feet leader, while a 8 pound test braid as a main line? I think it would make it a little more sensitive, as well as stronger and longer casting. Any suggestions? Also if you think you can suggest some other Fluorocarbon line that you think is better (don’t mind the price) then I am going for it. If not then I will stay with this one (green version, since I am fishing in the rivers for the most part).
I use a similar set up for jigging. I use fire line with a mono backing so it does not slip on the spool and about 3 feet of fluorocarbon line. It works great and the braid is super sensitive.

I’m working on a webpage for someone selling: Hand-Tied Fishing Tackle Hand-Made Pack Baskets Hand-Made Snow Shoes Wood Products And I don’t know anything about it all. Can anyone give me an original description of what hand-tied fishing tackle is? Like at least a few sentences? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Here is a link to show you hand tied fishing lures. they are called flies because they are meant to imitate natural bugs. http://virtualflybox.com/patterns/index.php i hope it helps

I recently started fly fishing and I am heading out with a couple friends to a river. I don’t know what type of fly I should use because alone I have had no luck. My father fishing with a spincaster and is catching browns, walleye, a northern, and weve seen trout. I don’t care which Icatch I just want to know what flys I should use/ what line!
You might be getting a little ahead of yourself. There is no one fly to use when fly fishing, and it will be difficult for someone who is not familiar with the water you’re fishing to tell you what fly to use. In fly fishing, you have to read the situation and then decide what to use “on the fly” so to speak.
You base your approach on the conditions, and the conditions may change within the course of a single day. The trick is to know and constantly observe the water, fish, weather, etc. The best thing you can do is to observe feeding fish and either see what they are eating or try to figure it out. There are lots of ways to do this — look at the surface of the water for one thing. If you see lots of the same kind of insect floating or moving on the water’s surface, and you see fish rising to them, find a fly that looks like that insect and cast it to rising fish. You can also get down in the water, kick over some rocks, and see what kinds of critters scatter — might be little shrimp/scuds, caddis larvae, or pollywogs. You might observe minnows or other small fish in the water — if there are little shoals of minnows skittering around near the banks, you can bet that the fish are picking some of them off, so imitate them.
A big part of fishing is knowing your gear, your lures, your tackle, but another part of fishing is knowing the fish and the water. What do they eat? When do they eat? What kinds of food are in the river? Where is food available? How do conditions change throughout the year? To be good at fly fishing you have to figure all that stuff out. The bad news is… it might take the rest of your life to figure it out. The good news is… it might take the rest of your life to figure it out. Heh heh. A little fishing humor there. Oh, and I almost forgot — ask the locals. If you see fly anglers fishing, politely approach them and ask for advice. They might not tell you everything they know, but any decent angler will help you out. Fly shops and sporting good stores can also be good sources of information — fly shop clerks are usually pretty good anglers who don’t get to fish as much as they’d like, so they’ll at least talk to you about fishing… In this situation, because I don’t know what what you’re fishing (and I’ve never fly fished in New York State, anyway) the best I can do is give you very general advice on what to fish.
I know that mayflies are still hatching in the east, so you can try those. Baetis and quill patterns will work almost anywhere east of the Mississippi. However, if you don’t see fish feeding from the surface, dry mayflies might not do you any good. You could also try mayfly nymphs and emergers — these patterns often work better than dry patterns. Aside from those, you might try the usual arsenal of attractors and all-purpose patterns, such as minnows, Woolly Buggers, leaches, scuds, Hare’s Ear, Pheasant Tail, Wullf’s, Adams, and Humpy’s. In general, the smaller, dead-drift type flies (like mayflies or small nymphs) are more likely to attract the the trouts, while bigger, more actively fished flies will get the attention of the walleye and pike. However, your mileage may vary. Good luck to you. Catch a few for Y!A.
