Beautiful spot there. I would love to go back but I’m also a bit scared, I gotta be honest. How you love the slammer? Couldn’t catch the size. 25/30 are pretty similar. I have the 25, may buy the 3000 as well.
I think you are appropriately cautious. I only go when I think conditions are near perfect. Regarding the slammer 4 2500 dx... I kindof hate it. I had to get the gears replaced, it came back just as Geary, then i replaced all the bearings with ceramics and shimmed it myself to make it "ok" to fish. While it's good, it isn't $380 good.
@@cballzoutdoors ok, so I’m not the only one. I’m bringing it back today (actually now), for the second time. When I purchased it, it was super stiff and they say it’s normal. They replace the bearings for me. Still stiff but better. In salty water, it’s a little tank, but now it’s (maybe geary like you said), very very scratchy when retrive. But power wise, I would only change it with a 3000. But, there ya go, if you got the same problem, then wasn’t a case. I’ll let you know what they says to me today 🤣
@4WLEX I looked online and basically saw a lot of people complaining about the 2500 dx specifically BUT have seen Rokkit kit with similar poor sounding gears in an Authority. I think it won't fail, but for a premium price I expect more.
@4WLEX I'm not sure what I'll do next.. despite all the issues I did fix mine so I'm just going to keep it for salt water bashing in the yak.. I am looking to try a daiwa at a 300ish price range so might get a caldia sw
It's a daiwa measure mat from iso fishing lifestyle, its great because it also floats. They have a bunch of random stuff like that for a reasonable price as well
I have the garmin striker 4+ which is the cheapest you can get with gps. I highly rate it but any sounder has a big learning curve. Small setup is a slammer 4 2500dx which I do not recommend because to get it working, I sent it to penn. They couldn't fix it, I then replaced all the bearings with ceramics(expensive) then had to shim the gears (time consuming). Paired with an Atomic Arrows AAS-702 which is brilliant, and 15lb daiwa grand braid and 16lb j-thread fc leader
Great video, I enjoyed it. Only just found you but I’ll be watching a lot more. Love your work🤙🎣
Thank you! I've checked out your channel and subbed on my personal. I'll have to study it before I go on a some freshwater missions!
@@cballzoutdoors thank you. Honoured. I doubt I’ll be able to teach you anything.
Well done on cracking the code! Must feel amazing when it all comes together - definitely can't get bored of it
Next step is to repeat it!
Epic session off the yak mate how's your sea sickness going?
It seems pretty hit and miss. That day I was fine so maybe I'm getting over it?? Surely your body figures it out in time

Great content as always!
Thanks 😊 wasn't super happy with the inside of the lense being fogged up but no idea what I can do about it in the future!
Unique edit content good stuff
Thank you 🤗
Get those rats!!...😊
It's my duty!
Mate where do you get those foldable rules that you were measuring the fish from?

@@cballzoutdoors Thank you mate, appreciate it.
Hey CBallz where did you get that foldable measuring mat thanks
I got it from isofishinglifestyle. It's a jdm daiwa board and surprisingly hard to find
What’s your sounder setup and what the blue line spinning reel setup?
I have the garmin striker 4+ which is the cheapest you can get with gps. I highly rate it but any sounder has a big learning curve.

What weight is the arrowz?
10-25lb. It's the older model and I seem to remember it being 6-8kg.
It's brilliant
Hader boz 😂
