Testing the Roland Hocking Blackjack Rods
Back in September 2020, I started a new project, Roland Hocking Angling Suppliers. This week, my first range of rods under my own brand came in.
We took the range for a spin down at Wangim Walk in Geelong.
Unfortunately, only the Banjos where willing to test the gear out.

      @@liambronson It doesn't keep tension when it reels in line. When I flip it over to release the line, it makes a big mess, way too much line out, and then when I real it in it will get loops and tangles where it's not supposed to. I also have to manually flip it back over, I can't just start reeling it in. If I try to start to reel it in after flipping the toggle, it won't work because the toggle is still flipped over. I thought reeling it in would automatically flip the toggle back over, but it does not

      I figured out my issue. The line that the pole came with had a strong memory on it and it was a bit heavier. So I learned the lesson that if you buy one pre-spooled, you really should take that line off and start anew anyway. It took care of all the issues I was having

      @@Lucaskirk09 monofilament line tends to have a "memory" you could have too much line on your reel, the line isn't on the spool tight enough, or it's just got really bad memory which is commonly with cheaper lines. You could try tying just a heavier sinker on the line and casting as far into a lake etc as far as you can and winding back in to have the line under tension.

    @scoodz5788 Год назад

    Note to anyone buying any pre spooled combos. Loosen the drag all the way and take the spool off. Soak it in a cup of warm water for 10ish minutes. It will shrink the memory profile of the monofilament (Line) so it's not loose and wraps around itself. It will also prevent casting issues and the line wrapping around the rod/guides/reel ect.

    Crappie fishing lures from a store called bass proshop and a store called Academy.

    • @waterratfishing1648
      @waterratfishing1648 Год назад

      Are you using "Crappie Jigs"? When using soft plastics, the more time the lure spends in front of the fish, the more likely it's going to bite. What you may find, and I admit, I'm guilty of this myself, is once you've had a bite or 2, or even landed a fish, you can get a little excited and start winding that little bit quicker. You may need to slow your retrieve a little after the first strike, even just let it sit and pause a little longer between winds. Also the addition of scents, such as Berkley Gulp Gel, may improve your success on lures. I'm sure there is a great range available at Bass Pro, Academy, Dick's, Cableas, etc.

    GV. I bank fish for crappie with lures. Is color a really big deal, the strength of the line. Jigging for them vs casting and reeling. Small body of water that's a run off from the red river in Louisiana. I've only been able to catch 5 so far. Cast and reel of course. Then after that 1 hits seems like no more bites.
