    The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

    really love the clarity on your screen. how come there's no clutter and purple arc and dots on your screen??
    made sure my software version is up to date. i've turned off the sonar for the ice transducer already and messed around with the contrast/sensitivity settings. whats your after market pole called for the transducer?? i really like it over the stock handle/stick humminbird designed.

    @tuiflies5869 Рік тому

    Do you think it’s important to tie on vs using a snap. I’ve heard it’s significantly more effective on a tube but always thought a jigging rap would benefit from more freedom.

    • @dougwegnerfishing
      @dougwegnerfishing  Рік тому

      It might add a little bit of action but it also adds to the hardware and profile to the bait. If anything I would suggest a loop knot if you want the range of freedom over a snap. For tubes I like a polmar knot or any knot that has the line going threw the line tie twice.

    Do you search the water column much or do you primarily target the suspended lake trout? Also it looks like you prefer to set up on the break and not the top or bottom, does that change throughout the ice season

      I do sometimes but always favor high. They can see 30-40’ from what I’ve seen. Yes I like the break 40-50’ is my favorite year round on ice.
