I am confident that #3 is a Rainbow Darter, #4 is a Fantail Darter, and #5 is a Johnny Darter. I included them for reference but need help with everything else.

Are all the others just female Rainbow Darters? The dorsals being spiny not round is throwing me off.

Gear Getting started!

4 Upvotes

Recently got my starter kit from JustFishingLOL. I’ve been practicing tying on my line and getting set up so when I’m out and about I’m not fumbling with it. I’m curious where I can get more gear. Like more line, fast snaps, hooks, maybe even the little foam rounds that the premade lines came wrapped in. Any input is appreciated, thank you.

Edit to add: I’m in the Midwest US

Question Do you guys consider micro fishing to be harder or easier than regular fishing?
