2020-12-03 04:55:36 UTC  

no

2020-12-03 04:55:38 UTC  

I want to though

2020-12-03 04:55:59 UTC  

Let me tell ya something

2020-12-03 04:56:11 UTC  

I'm all ears

2020-12-03 04:56:42 UTC  

This is a Jack

2020-12-03 04:56:56 UTC  

they got real hard heads right?

2020-12-03 04:57:14 UTC  

It’s probably one of the hardest fighting fish you’ll catch that isn’t always offshore

2020-12-03 04:57:25 UTC  

Yep hard heads

2020-12-03 04:57:34 UTC  

They grunt

2020-12-03 04:57:46 UTC  

ha, really? like catfish?

2020-12-03 04:58:05 UTC  

Yep, but louder and ballsier

2020-12-03 04:58:14 UTC  

haha, I want to hear that.

2020-12-03 04:58:32 UTC  

You can probably find a video of them grunting

2020-12-03 04:59:18 UTC  

I got an old bait caster. Being a 3/0, its nothing crazy. think it would be enough for jack?

2020-12-03 04:59:33 UTC  

What pound test?

2020-12-03 04:59:38 UTC  

20lb rn

2020-12-03 04:59:44 UTC  

its set up for cats

2020-12-03 04:59:57 UTC  

Mono braid or fluoro?

2020-12-03 05:00:20 UTC  

I have mono on, but I reckon braid would work fine on this because there isnt a line guide

2020-12-03 05:01:22 UTC  

here, found a better angle

2020-12-03 05:01:26 UTC  

Braid is more abrasion resistant, which is good because Jack’s will wrap you up in pilings or cut you off on ocean drop offs

2020-12-03 05:01:51 UTC  

Do you know how many pounds of drag?

2020-12-03 05:02:58 UTC  

no, but I think it needs some work. It sat in my great-grandma's shed with the drag almost on full for more than ten years. It feels weak for a 3/0 imo

2020-12-03 05:03:21 UTC  

I think it just needs a new shim though

2020-12-03 05:03:25 UTC  

if I can even find one

2020-12-03 05:03:31 UTC  

Look up Blacktiph on YouTube. He’s a fishing youtuber that lives close to me. He catches tarpon, snook, jacks, Goliath groupers, everything

2020-12-03 05:03:39 UTC  

Hey man

2020-12-03 05:03:42 UTC  

ye

2020-12-03 05:04:13 UTC  

I should probably go to to bed since I have school tomorrow. Can I send you a friend request?

2020-12-03 05:04:31 UTC  

ye sure thing. I have to go finish an english assignment anyways

2020-12-03 05:04:34 UTC  

xD

2020-12-03 05:04:41 UTC

2020-12-03 05:04:47 UTC
