Nice work Nick! If you go around the empty spool a few times with doubled braid and tie a uni knot it will bite in hard and you won’t need the tape on the spool which can trap saltwater and cause corrosion on the spool. But it’s all good either way, as long as you put that braid on tight! Hollow braid and the splice is more than 100% and that braid will last for many years, with just a topshot to replace vs the full mono. It works out cheaper in the long run.
Hello happy fishing Sunday I'm half Mexican American and Japanese I support Japanese fishing supplies Mexican fishing supplies and American made fishing supplies I love all my Colchester
Aloha, the Penn International reels are still made in the US. Help support them by buying American, and be willing to pay more to send the message that Americans will pay more to support American manufacturing rather than cheaper Chinese gear.
Headquarters are in Philadelphia. But reels are made and assembled in China since 2005/2006. Unless something has changed. But all reels still say made in China.
@@RAHfishing Google it please, you will discover that your information isn't 100% correct. The large reels are still made in the US. Given how price conscious everyone is, I don't know how long that will last. People say American made matters and then shop for the cheapest which often means it has to come from overseas where labor costs are silly.

FYI Penn international line and torque lines are still made in the USA. Not hating on shimano just putting info out there
Hollowcore is definately been a game changer for offshore fishing.
Happy Aloha Friday gang action pack video 🤙🏾
The international and torque lines for Penn are still made in the USA, I still prefer older first and second gen internationals though
"Buy American made." Amen! Thanks for the informative video.
Looks good
Lucky u posted this. I just got new 130s. Lol
Awesome instructional Nick Aloha from Pheonix
Always wondered how that hollow core was done
What Kind Of Knot Do You Like On Your Swivel at the end of your Mono Mainline?
hey nick nice video, what size mono? thanks
Buy avet reels if you want made in America there all I buy now .your a 💯 right !!!
Yessir… support “made in America” products indeed
So 300lb hollow to 150 mono? Would 200lb hollow not be good enough? I mean, it’s still rated 50lbs above the monofilament.
Sounds like your electric side of your reel need some servicing or some grease
I wonder who thought you that bend the rod trick?!?! Hmmm
This old man named Mr.Takahashi from Haleiwa. Charter boat captain. Runs a pink boat.

Your supposed to go around the spool like 8 times before tying your knot. Never slips
