Great video mate. Don't listen to any salesman who says your reel isn't worth fixing and you should buy a new one. I have earlier model stradics, which are pretty good for keeping water out and can be serviced easily . I bet you just need a roller bearing assembly $12.50 from shimano and it will feel new 💪
dunno if you do it but try mono leader for surface, it floats as well and helps the action. fluro sinks. try it and you should get same numbers as any other form if they’re on. thanks for the vid
@@ynots0625 I find fluro over 20lb or so works just fine for surface lures. So for jacks and bass over 20lb I’ll use the fluro no issues and actually find I don’t have many issues with lure action. Particularly these bony swims! Anything under 20lb I definitely run mono as it tends to be smaller lures
Those are some funny looking jacks!
Nice one at the local 👌🏼
Awesome fishing, full of action! Really enjoyed
Thanks, mate, for all the content this year they just keep getting better and better. Merry Christmas to you and yours, mate
@@tonypaine4958 appreciate the kind words mate! Merry Christmas to you as well

@@WefishSydney they’re thick at the moment!

Amazing, thought you would be right but just in case I put it down, thanks broski have a good holiday season
Surface or nothing haha
@@DrewMinto honestly my mind set these days haha
Try a slower retrieval with lots of pauses and twitches and you'll have more success with the swimbaits
Thats filth
