Why is graphite used in fishing rods?

Hi, ok many manufacturers use different graphite rating systems to describe their fishing rods. Im sure you have seen for example 70 million modulus(basspro rods), IM-9(Shimano Crucial), and the other is 36-ton Graphite(Abu Garcia Verdict). Each of these rating systems describe a different trade and are not similar in any case. Modulus describes the stiffness or backbone to the graphite used.

IM ratings like on higher end Shimano rods, describe the tonnage of graphite used in making of the rod, which also differentiates the quality of graphite. Higher the IM rating, higher the tonnage in the material. IM is just a rating that one manufacturer chose to use over the tonnage rating typically used, but they are the same thing. Graphite tonnage or IM rating as it escalates in value, mean better sensitivity, since less fibers are used in the structure of the fishing rod.

Finally to add to the modulus rating, I do not recommend buying a fishing rod based on it, as many other factors come into play when buying a truly fine tuned higher end rod.

Hope that helps

What is the best bait for salt water pier fishing?

live shrimp if you have a bubble box and a plastic bucket. you can buy a bubble box at most bait & tackle stores near the beach. They will show you how to use them at the store. They are about $10 and require two D batteries to work. If you do not have access to live bait I would suggest using dead shrimp or squid. Live bait works best but dead bait is better than no bait.

What type bait do you need to use when fishing an alligator gar?

Some top water bass lures work good. I have also herd of using a piece of nylon rope with the end frayed out. they get their teeth tangled in the rope. The rope technique is described online.I see two main techniques. One involves large rods, reels and cut bait. Usually shad but just about any type of fish will work. You'll want to use BIG hooks and BIG baits. The bait can be fished either just under the surface with a large float, or on the bottom. This is a patience game. It may take several hours before one of the giants, the 150 lbs plus, decides to take it.

The other technique is to bow fish for them at night with artificial lights, a bow, and a specially built arrow.

I thought it was NYLON rope, not cotton and also, mullet,bacon, and shad for bait

Which core material would make the strongest electromagnet?

Wire: The best wire for electromagnets is called magnet wire. It is simply copper wire with a very thin enamel insulation. It is thin so you can get as many windings possible on to your electromagnet. I am assuming you are going for a strong magnet. More windings = more power.


Core:
I would say the best cores are Soft Iron in terms of cost effectiveness and availability.
btw, all bolts and nails are made of steel which is not the same as soft iron.


There is a better option. You can buy something called a Ferrite Rod which will perform better, but a little more expensive and harder to come by. You can order it online. This is my recommend choice. However, it is brittle and must be handled with care. It is a ceramic and will break.


Last item on the list of cores is Mu-metal. Some people say this is the best material for a core. Don't bother with it. It is hard to come by, expensive, and not really worth it.


Tips: If you can try to get a core which is in a horseshoe/ C-shape. It will improve your performance.

Is it safe for fisherman to go fishing?

Not neccessarily. There are few things that can be avoided: - Inclement weather (i.e. lightning) Never stay on the water when you hear thunder It may be helpful to carry a battery powered radio to check the weather -DO NOT put your finger in a fish's mouth no matter the size for any reason. Even small fish have teeth. Use a pair of pliers to remove any hooks and if it is swallowed cut the line off as close as you can to its mouth -BE Careful when handling catfish some have poisonous spines that can inflict a painfu sting Hooks are EXTREMELY SHARP(for obvious reason) handle with care. Barbs on hooks can be flattened. Those are your dangers when you're fishing. As for fishing being dangerous if follow common sense, you should be perfectly safe. I've fished for years and the only time I've been hurt are when I didn't pay attention to the obvious.

How do you lure a cat?

If you are using barb less hooks then cover the cat with a soft towel, control the legs, cover the cats head and use pliers to remove the hook in the direction it went in.

With a regular barbed hook it would be best to have a vet remove the hook. Home removal involves pushing the hook through the tissue, clipping the barb and then pulling it out. Not something that should be attempted by an untrained person without access to topical analgesics.
