The tackle is too heavy and can broke the line while casting.

so i just buy new rod omnifloat 11' 5" and other stuff to complete the part like the reels, line, hook and etc. but the problem is i can't use the rod becuase this warning pop up everytime, i tried to change the line or the hook but it always showing the same warning, if that not too heavy it will be too light. any solution? here, i took my rod setup https://prnt.sc/wbNJAyxi2ksz

it could be the chubby float triggering the warning. Just because you get a warning doesn't mean you can't use it. All of my carp setups(including Spod Rod) trigger this warning and I have never had one break.

It was probably the Chubby float. Try a slim float until you can get a heavier setup.

Not at all it means your tackle is too heavy, > too large of float, too bigger in hooks size, your bait is too heavy and if bottom, too heavy of a sinker. So remove and use lower tackle in each part and look at rod and reel requirements EG. X heavy, heavy, medium, light all tackle show that when selecting the right balance of gear.
This also is the same for lines, lures and baits etc..

It is not the float that´s nonsense! A float will never lead to line break and it will never cause the message mentioned! It is the REEL which is much too light for this rod!!! The rod bears a line weight up to 6.5 lbs, but the reel has its max drag already at 3.4lbs! So put a reel on that rod with a max drag of 6.5-7lbs!!! Also the LINE you used according to your screenshot (.005" mono) is way too light! It bears just 2 lbs! You better should use a .010" mono line. Then, when fishing, leave one notch open of your reel break and everything will work fine!

In total its very easy: Max drag of the reel must correspond to the line weight the rod bears and the line strength must correspond to the max drag of the reel. If you start to use a leader then moreover the test weight of the leader must correspond to the line strength. That´s all the magic!

You also do not really catch the point! That has all NOTHING to do with float size, hook size or baitweight in this case! How do you people manage to play FP at all??

I recommend you to better follow my advice! Others are completely wrong!

So quick to spout things as nonsense. Equip his exact setup and you will see the message about too heavy. Then swap the chubby float for a regular oval float and the too heavy message disappears. So you are incorrect about a float never triggering that message.

Edit, the above was tested using bread but when using a shiner the line did break during the cast. So yes, a chubby float can trigger the message but with lighter baits the line will not break during the cast.

I watched the screenshot of his equipment - but did you do also? Obviously not! Otherwise you would have easily noticed, that his equipment of rod, reel and line does not fit at all!

And you advice him just to replace the bobber??? JESUS!!! A lighter bobber will change NOTHING in that case! You scratched a bit at the problems solution but the bobber simply is not the main problem! Maybe the message will disappear when changing the bobber - but his gear will nevertheless break, if not already at cast then latest when hooking the smallest fish!!! So of what sense is your advice then???
If he equips his gear in the right way I described the bobber he used will not be too heavy and he will not only be able to cast but to catch fish!!!

By the way: Nice you tested your opinion with using a shiner but who tells you, he used one when getting this problems? You scratched a bit at the problems solution but the bobber simply is not the main problem! Maybe the message will disappear when changing the bobber - but his gear will nevertheless break, if not already at cast then latest when hooking a fish!!!

I did not notice the 2# line. No need to be so insulting and hostile.But just to let you know, the line did not break when casting bread or any other light baits with his setup so obviously he was using something heavier than those if his line broke during casting. But now you know that a float can indeed trigger the too heavy warning. Have a great evening.

Senseless... You are obviously a notorious know-all. Just never admit you did not see the point! Also a great evening to you!

I admitted that I did not notice the 2# line until I equipped his exact setup. You are the know it all that said floats can't trigger the too heavy warning which is not "nonsense".

Thanks for the insult but sorry it went over my head lol
Did mention ' look at rod and reel requirements'

[hollydog57]

Hi guys and girls (and those who arent quite sure, i am trying to be a bit pc atleast).
The way i was taught to set up my gear was (and by the way, the guys that taught me have been champions and world record holders), was that the rod should be the strongest, then the reel, then a leader IF you are using one, the strength does not have to reduce by much each time. this is the way i set up my gear in-game too.
If you are using a float (bobber), and fishing less than the depth of water, with a bait that is too heavy for it, it usualy sinks.
I hope this helps.
tight lines all.
