Yes go down 1 size if they aren’t committing

I just bought this reel not long ago and it constantly gets windknots. Is it the 10lb braid on the SSM 30XPT model that is causing it or something else?

The drag is great never had a problem even on really big tarpon

You bet! Glad you enjoyed - Lots of new videos coming! I'm doing over 200 more How "2" videos. Seems that helping clients for over 30 yrs has allowed me to explain a concept or tackle selection that makes it easy to understand. Its part of the my job everyday, glad I could help be sure to subscribe, the first new videos will be hitting the channel in about a month. Capt Eric...

That was a fun trip, seeing Tom catch his first Ski was special. He couldn't believe he finally caught one. Be sure to subscribe I'm going to Fontana Lake in the Smoky Mtns park to fish for Ski's and all the other fish in that lake. Hard to believe only 11 hr drive from my home in Ft Myers!

Baitcasters are shit. The guy giving the best lesson is using a spinning reel

I did watch the video :)

Its one of those topics that are never discussed enough, your boat lives on its trailer!

Perfect! :)

Well nonfil is fused with some sort of a heating process. When I was testing line for possible use by our clients I found that there were certain areas of the line that were thinner than others. As a result we broke off a number of big fish due to this problem with the line. I would double the number of turns if you decide to use this line, that should hold since its so slippery. I wouldn't recommend you use it for saltwater applications, just not a robust line for tough conditions based on my experience. On the other hand it is great for pan fish in 10 lb test. One of my favs for Crappies since it floats it can keep the baits higher in the water column. Thanks Capt Eric...

I use it for wild browns in Scotland so nothing much over a half pound it seems to cast a very long way from initial testing anyway haven’t had a fault with it yet but will probably switch to fluorocarbon eventually just thought I’d give it a try 😎👍 thanks for the advice though appreciated 😉

Your welcome! The great thing about guiding all these years is that you get really good at explaining how to do something. Its really very easy to walk the dog, its mostly in the steady reeling. Good luck and early morning is the time for the best topwater bite, Fresh or Salt water. Capt Eric...

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the great feedback!

Hey Jesse I will talk to the product manager, and see if you are right about being made in WuFlu Land. I would hate to see a great reel being made out of Chineseium rather than made in USA quality aluminum. My current S3's are made in USA reels and they are are awesome, clients always comment how crazy easy they are to reel. Thanks for your 2 Cents worth and I post on what I can verify as fact. Capt Eric...

@@Lake2SeaOutdoors absolutely forgive my rant if I could find one that was stamped made in the USA still I would definitely want to buy at the same time hard to have faith in that 5-year warranty being that the R&D is in China the reason I had made that statement another Channel had did a review of this reel not too long ago a customer purchased two of these reels from them one of them broke after three uses and this company just directed the gentleman to the R&D in China he was extremely disappointed as I would be 200$ gone ...no response to anyone out there including yourself which I'm sure you know Daiwa US anything in the New MQ line is now made in Cypress California as well as a few other models ....the last here are IRT, Accurate, Penn Z, Penn torque, Zeabass...all close to a grand and worth every penny I'm wondering what's going to happen with the iconic VAN STAAL just purchased by pure fishing who owns all the f****** Walmart brands made in China good Lord I need a shot of vodka

Hi Ty That video was shot at Yuba Lake in Utah. It used to be full of stunted perch, they stocked walleyes and 10 yrs later lots of jumbo perch. Since then they stocked N Pike to help further control the bigger perch that the Walleyes couldn't eat. Great balance now and they use the Pike as brood stock for their tiger muskie program. There are some really big pike in that lake for a western res! Thanks for the comment I will check out the lake you mentioned, and you need check out the perch caught in Europe. They are jaw droppers and must be a slightly different sub species although they look the same at a glance. Capt Eric...

It is outside the"box" for many anglers, but simply trolling a crawler with a bottom bouncer and a spinner catches just about everything that swims in a lake. Its great for kids and it can catch some big bass, my best bass on a bottom bouncer was a little over 8lbs! Give it a try you wont believe how many different fish you can catch in a day. Good Luck! Capt Eric...

@@Lake2SeaOutdoors I most definitely will capt. Thanks for the response and when I got a chance to get on em I'll try to remember to let you know how I did. There's an abandoned quarry near my house where I lost my pb perch and I won't be satisfied until I get that sucker lol. Have a great day buddy🙏🏾🎣

Sorry to hear you have been having those problems. If you are having bearing failure once a year something else is very wrong. It sounds like the trailer is a single axle and grossly overloaded and possibly driving at high speed. Until you can give me some details about the entire setup, I could never give you a reliable answer. Capt Eric...

I sold the boat because of the trailer headache- but she was 24 ft walkaround about 4K lbs dry weight on a galvanized 2 axle trailer spring leaf suspension with surge brakes. I definitely may have driven too fast, about 65 mph two hours for the round trip. I’m looking into buying another boat, I’ve read good reviews about The Vault hybrid bearing system, I think I’ll try that next time on an aluminum trailer.

I have T-H Vault hubs on my newest trailer and they are the only way to go. 7 Yrs of trouble free use, don't even think twice, just buy 'em. My best guess on your old trailer is that the castle nuts were to tight. There should be a little wiggle room 1/8" or so to allow back and forth play between the nut and the bearing. If that nut was tight against the bearing you will over heat them in a hurry and you know what happens then (ugh). You can't rely on dealers to do trailers right, most of the time they want to sell you a million dollar boat and a $10 dollar trailer. A trailer is the most important part of your new boat, it lives on the trailer. We both know what happens when it goes wrong. Be sure to get a torsion axle trailer, best thing you'll ever do for your boat, a must if it hits the salt water. Capt Eric...

By the 1/8 inch number you said I’m thinking you’re meaning 1/8 of an inch rotation rather than 1/8 of an inch space between the nut and the bearing

Thanks for the kind words! We will keep on trying to produce videos that help everyone become better anglers

Wow that sounds awful. I've seen some horrible trailers but that sounds like one of the worst. I had a magic tilt trailer that only lasted 3 yrs before the galvanized steel spacers near the coupler ate thru the trailer frame completely. There are some terrible trailers and components out there so be sure to check the hubs in particular. Lots of cheap Chinese junk with questionable lug bolts that can beak easily, and be sure to bring a magnet with you when you are buying any stainless steel hardware. A magnet should not stick to the very best stainless and just barely to good stainless and there is a lot of imported junk stainless from China that the magnet will find for you. Best of luck replacing your trailer, anytime you have a question I will always take the time to answer. Capt Eric...

No I just change the hooks to a smaller size. Bait comes with size 2 and I change them to Size 4 then the bait suspends much better. Thanks for the great comment and you will want to subscribe we have some awesome new content coming soon. Capt Eric...

@@Lake2SeaOutdoors thanks for taking the time to respond, you've got a subscriber!

So sorry to hear that, I suppose it was someone else casting. I had a near miss when a client put all three hooks from a rattle trap right under my eye years ago. If you do this long enough getting hooked is part of the job description.

Good chance gloves may do more harm to the slime than a wet hand. I always try to handle them as little as possible especially when our Redfish numbers are still very low from the Red tide event we had from Oct 2017 till Apr 2019.

Thanks have a great day

That fish was totally un-harmed and we practice 100% catch and release, a fish is to valuable to catch only one time.

Bonita Springs, FL

They are easy to fish and very effective quite a bit of the time. Good Luck Capt Eric...

I agree and they really catch fish

Both those observations are true! Good Luck Fishing Capt Eric...

Hey Jack - he smaller choppo is perfect for Snook - Specs - and other fish the SW one had a bit to much tail

Hey these are really good glasses, I was surprised but they have been selling them since 1989 this is the first ICAST they have been to. Seems some low ball companies knocked them out of REI and a Dicks and a couple others. So I think its the best thing that happed for anglers in a long time. Made in USA glasses high quality, great warranty AND they are going to give our subscribers a nice discount on their web store. I post in the community page as soon as I have the code. It will most likely be a week or two before we get it all put together. Best part is I won't ever sink another pair of expensive glasses. Take Care! Capt Eric!!!

Thanks!

Ur welcome awaiting for your friendly support regards beejee kitchen 💐🙏🙋‍♀️
