This is Getting Ridiculous!
 

Last night makes trip number 3 (1 saltwater 2 freshwater) with a new reel and it has yet to catch a fish. Catching fish with all the other rods that are set out just not the one with my new reel. Ggggrrrrrrrr.
Rant over.

It will pass man. Happens to the best of us.

you sure there isn't an odor on the line? maybe from the reel oil?

or you just need to drink a beer and wait longer :grinpimp:

Did you throw away the paperwork that came with it?

Maybe I need to quit letting my son set up in the good spot? Lol

Have you put the first scratch on it?
that usually helps my hook ups

I fished a new reel this weekend and was expecting this to happen, but I managed a few fish with it so I guess its got some mojo to it...Just gotta use it til it gets some good mojo

Oh I feel so much better after reading this.lol.:grinpimp:
Jk man. Glad you got some hook ups on your new reel. Fish On is great no matter who it is.

It would not hurt to think more scientifically. The bait matters, the location matters, the hook matters. For redfish on crab or mullet, the leader and line don't matter (other than where you can place the bait). The fish has no idea what the rod and reel can do until he takes the bait.

All our rods catch fish pretty much equally distributed when fishing from the boat. Rods that cast further catch more fish from the beach. Fishing is like real estate: the three most important things are location, location, location. Rod and reel just need the moxie to pull the fish in when the time comes.

Haha don't you hate that! I hate it more when I can't catch on a new rod instead of reel lol

have you tried turning it off then back on again?

I put new batteries in it. Didn't help any :(. Maybe there's a reset button? Lmao

Ya got to put line on it man!!!:spineyes:

Son of a beeeeech. I knew I was forgetting something. :)

No problem Mon.....you can pay back the favor later:D.

I can't in any way argue and or disagree with your statement MG. That being said, have you, in our brief time together known me to have trouble catching fish? It's just a virgin reel.
The problem will soon remedy itself. I hope.

Sarcasim was meant to have deep roots.
