Rum Buddies ... Well interestingly, our CC actually has better sun cover than our open deck on our last boat (where the fishing occurred). And 90% of our fishing happens up front (once a fish is on). So guess it really depends on who you are and how you choose to use the boat.
I also love the...
Got the reel today... Sweet! Just waiting for the line now, but don’t imagine because of the long weekend that it will show up till around Tues/Wed. Pumped on getting it on the water!!! Yeehaa... Thanks guys.
Just print out the latest DFO website info and keep it in the boat. That’s all you can do.... I had to throw one over the limit back today, but as of tomorrow they stay...
Obviously you guys know better than I do what is worth having for sale through the ‘online store,’ but I would have liked to have seen some popular brands of ‘reel sized’ spools of line. Due to the reel I just purchased here (that said preloaded with line) and because of where I live, finding...
Thanks again.
So I brought the ‘suspect’ flasher home and played with it a bit. Sure enough the swivel (front of flasher to main line) had a definite issue. You could spin it freely but load it up and it would catch. So another good lesson learned. While at it I changed them all up. Not...
Thanks gang.
I actually used the same flasher and swivels with the spoon (6’ leader) and then retied the hoochie (3’ leader) and got the twisting. I used the same setup exactly so that’s when I started wondering.
Sorry, I am a freshwater guy who grew up in the interior so have taught /...
So I tested this again tonight. Had a 75 cm Chinook in the boat within 45 mins with a spoon. With spoons I get no line twisting, with the hoochies I get a frickin mess! Is it because the hoochie isn’t heavy enough or something? I checked my swivels and all are turning freely...
Just learned mine isn’t coming pre loaded with Sufix 30# either. Guess PNT had incorrect info listed in the ad. Ha, good one! :) So guess I will go with a heavier backing...
Well guess I don’t have to worry about matching a leader material to the Suffix 30# - cause the reel doesn’t come loaded. Was a mistake on the website. Ha! They sure showed me :)
Corey_lax have you had a chance to use it yet? What’s your view on no ‘free wheel’ lever? Sounds like it’s not an issue but just wondering. And out of interest what leader # and material did you choose to match up with the preloaded Sufix line? Thanks.
I have a new Amundson Trend X5 reel coming that is loaded with 30 lb Sufix mono. If I wanted to try some Sufix as a leader material, what have you Sufix users been using / would recommend? Thanks.
If you have things apart to grease the slider pins etc, I always give the rotors a scotchbrite treatment. Not needed, but makes me and the trailer feel better :) Something I have been doing for years now is after washing off the trailer (after a dunk in the chuck) is liberally spraying the...
