McLeodinho Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hey everyone was just wondering what causes you to lose xp from fish is it the line being to strong for the fish or he rod and reel? Thank you in advance, McLeodinho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH_Carpman99 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 The short answer: The red arrows indicate the tackle is too strong for the fish your catching, the number of arrows meaning 1 slightly 2 fairly 3 overly overpowered. To stop this use a lighter tackle setup. When using a balanced setup (from weakest to strongest) the line (test) is matched to the reel(max drag), and the reel to the rod(line weight) so I'd say it was the setup. (When using feeder/bottom tackle I have the leaders (test) slightly weaker than the lines test) Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLeodinho Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 @Carpman99 Ah okay I had a big alli set up which followed the rule of rod to leader in terms of strength and was losing xp on peacock basses so I altered my line and it didnt change so I just thought that I'd ask! Thanks for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLeodinho Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 @sabiScs I didnt know that but it does make sense seeing as they are either baitcoins or through challenges! Thank you for letting me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
