The line weight of a fishing rod describes the optimal tension along the fishing line the rod is designed to handle, usually expressed in pounds or kilograms. A fishing line's "breaking weight" describes the maximum tensile force that can be exerted before the line breaks apart, while the line weight for a rod describes as the extent of bending ...
A standard-sized gaff used in angling Fishing with a long pole gaff. In fishing, a gaff is a handheld pole with a sharp hook or sideway spike on the distal end, which is used to swing and stab into the body of a large fish like a pickaxe (ideally, the tip of the hook/spike is placed under the fish's backbone) and then pull the fish out of the water like using a pike pole.
The assembled pole is normally between 34 feet (10 m) and 45 feet (14 m) long. [2] The main line of a green-sticking fishing pole typically runs over 1,000 feet (300 m) and will be made of 800- to 1000-pound monofilament fishing line. Between five and seven squid lures are then attached to this line between 35 feet (11 m) and 45 feet (14 m) apart.
A jiggerpole (or jigger pole) is a long fishing pole that is used with a short and heavy line, usually a foot (0.3 m) or less of 50 lbf (220 N) test or heavier. Then a large lure or bait is attached and manually worked around the shoreline and cover. In deep cover, the lure or bait can be presented by placing the tip of the fishing pole into ...
Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water at a consistent, low speed. This may be behind a moving boat, or by slowly winding the line in when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side, e.g. when fishing from a jetty.
Surfing a break in Oahu. A surf break (also break, shore break, or big wave break [1]) is a permanent (or semi-permanent) obstruction such as a coral reef, rock, shoal, or headland that causes a wave to break, [2] forming a barreling wave or other wave that can be surfed, before it eventually collapses.
The British Invasion of 1964–66 greatly influenced garage bands, providing them with a national audience, leading many (often surf or hot rod groups) to adopt a British Invasion lilt, and encouraging many more groups to form. [38] Thousands of garage bands were extant in the US and Canada during the era and hundreds produced regional hits. [38]
