Balsam Thunder Lake May 2020
2 buddies and I went to a lake we had never heard of up in north central Minnesota and got into a bunch of fish. Smallmouth, largemouth. I wish I had the gopro on from the beginning but it was really windy and we didn't know if we'd catch anything. After a dozen fish or more we finally got the camera out. Starring BUTCH, IZZY and The SLAYER. May 29th, 2020 No fancy editing, just cuts and clips. 20 mph winds when we got there. You don't have to like the video. I really made this for myself and my fishing buddies. Honorable mentions, MDK baits. TightRope jigs. Ranger Boats.

Accidental muskie on Mille Lacs
Переглядів 1225 років тому
Was up at Mille Lacs Smallie fishing and hooked into a 44" male muskie with my light gear. 7' medium Zodias spinning rod, #30 Supreme XT spinning reel and 6lb Seaguar fluorocarbon. Aweful camera work. He had never used a gopro before but some of the commentary is very brotherly to say the least. And yes it was awful fish release but we made sure the fish lived to see another day.

    thanks you sir. I just bought a brand new Lews Lite $239 reel and it started screaming on the cast about 5 min into using it. Funny thing is it was the reel i grabbed after exchainging my Curado Dc reel it had a tiny sound in the spool the local shop went to fix it and then gave it back to me with a broken drag knob . They made it right with store credit so no shame on them. The Curado Dc is a great reel it got a piece of sand in the gear somehow it happens. So some how im trying not to complain with a bit od complainy sounding rant. All in all I feel i am kind of getting youst to problems with my reels. I always have taken good care of them but I am trying to somehow take even better care of them these things are needy . Great tools but they must be properly taken care of no matter how much money you spend.

    ok. I have a daiwa tatula sv that I cleaned and now it's making a screeching noise on the cast. I've swapped every single part out one by one from one of my other tatula sv reels and it still does it. it's driving me INSANE! It makes absolutely no sense. I've swapped out the side plate with the brakes, both spool bearings, the spool, and it still does it! it sounds like it's coming from the handle sideplate area. the spool is not rubbing anywhere on the frame. I'm completely baffled. And I'm not new to cleaning and tuning reels either.

      @AcSlayer10 7 років тому

      HATINTHEKAT The bearing I think your referring to is part of the X-ship. It’s a carrier bearing for the pinion gear. Under the tension knob is the spool bearing followed by a spacer then the x-ship bearing. To get that bearing out you need to remove the handle side sideplate. The bearing comes out the same direction as the spool bearing.

    Won't the new bearings just cause birds nests? Why not use the standard bearings as 'breaks'

    • @AcSlayer10
      @AcSlayer10 7 років тому

      Why not use the reel brakes as brakes, thats what they are for. I usually tell customers to turn their brakes up a notch or 2 until they get use to the new bearings. The number one reason for upgraded isn't distance and to throw as hard as you can anyways. Its effort. Half the effort for every cast your doing now. Thats huge when fishing all day long. Lets say you are overhand casting your favorite swimjig. It goes 50yards, half a football field. Add some BOCAs and now you can sidearm it, flick your wrist and the lure will go the same distance. Casting that easliy with out straining yourself isnt going to cause anymore backlashes. I have tested this myself a dozen times. Brand new reel, use it in a few tournaments, then I added BOCAs. Used the same lure, line and rod for another couple tournaments. Night and day difference.

    • @andeeaye

  • @shadeshiest22

    you should do casting tests with these n get them on video... like have a grass area or pond measured out exactly in feet or yards, then cast the same 1/2oz lure, same rod, same reel with the exact same brake n lure weight settings, before and after the bearing change... that would definitely make for some awesome videos and probably sell product!! you could also test cast stock reels against each other from different companys then b4 n after bearing change! but i just really cant imagine casting any farther with my stock curado200i even using fluro... using braid it almost casts to far making top water lures sink with so much line out, or spooling out!!! i understand smoother reeling action bearings i guess, but then again my curados smooth enough not to complain... i guess i would just need to feel the difference in hand myself to really "get it"..... im sure its night n day difference...

    • @AcSlayer10

      If your thumb control isnt as good as the pros, mines definitely not either, then I usually tell customers to turn the brakes up a notch or on Shimanos turn a extra set of brakes on (top hats). If you don't feel any backlashes after a few casts you can always turn them back off.
