If the world was about to end... 2024

AstroFishingTV reply :

If the world was about to end and you could only pick up one rod and reel combo and one bait, what would be your go to? Personally I would grab a spinning set up with some finesse worms and drop shot til the end.

What makes you think the world isn't about to end? Haven't you been watching the news? ????

Spinning and worms for me too, but you know, you'd run out of worms eventually. You can't run to the bait store, the zombies would get you.

lol, I have my rod in hand and am ready to head to the wilderness. They would probably last me a day ????

Tennessee Boy reply :

Interesting question. I had a dream about a month ago that the world was coming to an end and me and a life long fishing buddy headed to Kentucky Lake where we planned to fish till the end. I don't remember what we were fishing with. Would probably be Zoom Lizards ????

Big Rick reply :

Fishing would be the LAST thing on my mind......

jimmyjoe reply :

Well, I wouldn't have to worry about my rotator cuff, so I'd take a 7' H/F Mojo Bass, a Tranx 300a loaded with 20 lb. InvizX, a bunch of 1 oz. Dardevles, and go for the big stuff. BTW .... when is it? Next Tuesday? That's when my taxes are due. ???????????? jj

Not to be difficult but weird question. Better put. "If you had to choose one rod, bait combo and reel to use for the rest of your life what would it be?".

The end of the world thing makes me think, 'fishing?'

Tennessee Boy reply :

Here's an old Far Side cartoon that I liked so much I got it framed.

Cam R reply :

Any sort of senko curly tail worm with a simple spinning setup!

Yeah, that's a completely different way of putting it alright. Brings that rotator cuff back into the picture. I'd probably move down to a Mojo Bass 7' MH/MF, a Tranx 200a in 6.3, 17 lb. InvizX and 3/4 oz Dardevles. Big change, huh? ???????????? jj

I love the farside. I keep a supply of books in the bathroom. No joke. They're like Robin Williams. He was the only real comedian who could make me laugh. Farside had the only cartoons that were actually clever and or funny.

This cartoon is in my bathroom as one of Gary Larsons favorites.

I'm a Chemistry/Biology guy and was in college in the late '80's. We had Far Side cartoons posted all over the lab!!

I was thinking of it like as in a post-apocalyptic world where you were one of the few survivors, not like one last fishing trip before every single person on the planet dies, because yeah, who would go fishing? I don't think any of us are that hardcore fishermen.

Shimano_1 reply :

I'd take a flippin stick and a jig. Not that it's the smart choice, I just love fishing that way.

I love that one. Every time I see it it makes me laugh.

Oh yeah, for me it’d have to be a 7’ mh rod and a big ole double willow, one gold one silver blade, white spinnerbait. I’ve probably caught more huge smallmouth on that setup then anything else out there, and man is it ever fun when they absolutely crush it!

BigAngus752 reply :

Is the world ending with water temps above or below 60 degrees?

Below 60: My Falcon drop shot rod with 1/15th Shroomz and half of a coppertreuse-colored Zinker Z.

Above 60: My Champion XP spinning rod with a 3/8 tungsten weight, 4/0 wide gap hook, and a Zoom Trick Worm (T-rigged). Color depends on the body of water.

Almost guaranteed to die with my rod bent.

Honestly, I'm taking an ultralight with a small crankbait or roostertail and I'm going to catch em all before I go

Hewhospeaksmuchbull reply :

Grenades, lots and lots of grenades.

JediAmoeba reply :

If the world is ending I am going noodling, but not the fishing kind.

I thought the world already ended, that’s why I only fish the Ned Rig. I gotta pay more attention to things.

lol, I wanna go out with a bang, what better way to do that then with a ten pounder in your hand. There are a few other ways I would like to go though.

MN Fisher reply :

Okay - I just had to...

Titan reply :

End of the world you say? In that case, and I hate to say it, but I would choose a 7 1/2 foot heavy Okuma Battle Cat catfishing rod with an Abu Garcia Ambassador (see, I got BASS in there) 7000 reel spooled with 30 pound Big Game line.......and a shovel to dig up the worms for bait!

Fingers crossed that it works out and not go the other way lol

soflabasser reply :

Various sized bucktail jigs and other types of jigs would be useful in a survival type situation.

Sam reply :

Sorry, but I would be in bed.

Kdizzle reply :

6'6" Fenwick Medium HMG with my 30 size Abu Revo X. 15 pound braid with 8 pound flouro leader. Strike King Fat Coffee Tube on a 1/8 ounce tube jg or on a Mojo rig.

If I ever had a confidence setup, its that right there. I'd chase river smallies until the end, whatever that may be.

Ghostshad reply :

I'd bring Mine to the Altar & give it to Jesus. If You watch The Shack " I think you'd love the movie. The best Christain movie I've ever seen " Jesus loves to fish. And He chose Fisher Men to follow Him.
