BILL RUGERS .22 PISTOL A PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY OF THE RUGER RIMFIRE PISTOL BY DON FINDLEY NEW STILL IN WRAP 75.00

Thanks, they seemreally nice. This is what the reel cal said, it sounds like I can get away with less backing,

If you are running braid backer of 30 lb, likely fits about 75 yds...here is what I do... wrap spool in duct tape, I use 50LB braid and put a handful of wraps (maybe 20ft), albright braid to wire, reel a few times of wire, one thin wrap of duct over wire where it hits spool as a sort of breaker are if I ever got into the spool that deep, then the rest of my 1000' wire. It's close enough to full that I don't worry I can fit another 50 yds of braid. I have been out 800' on a fish a couple times but with the sizes of kings now, hard to believe a risk being spooled if you know what you are doing..... unless maybe into mid 30lb fish. Just me as I rather not have that wire on the brim of the spool edge and get loose/wrapped in spool gears on the water.... speaking from experience By the way, for a mid-price between a Tekota/Fathom/Saltiga vs low end reels, they are a huge step up over a coldwater/convector etc.... if you own 15-20 outfits, saves a few bucks from the top line reels and they are more than sufficient in the 4+ years running them. And I also fish squall 20's with 65lb braid for 40-50 lb stripers in late fall in the Chesapeake Bay as well... 20's more than handle those size fish if that tells you anything about the drag and durability.

I would say resident fish. about 18 - 24 inches.

That is encouraging. Were they the large class of 4-5 lbers that are out there in large numbers or more likely residents?

Bump!
