Go with the Daiwa Seagate 60, I have them spoiled from 350-500’. Same drag as the saltist and the high speed retrieve. My customers love them!!!! They won’t break the bank either!! Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Pretty much every fish we got Saturday was thick and healthy. We had one with a big lamprey on it, which went back in multiple pieces. But that was the only one that I recall that had a mark on it. We did a few skippys also, which I was glad to see. This is my second trip out in a couple weeks, and these were the first little guys i had seen. We have got a good number of fish that did not run the tribs this season!!! They were munching on gobies, had a few that were spitting them up when they came aboard!!

I can concur it was great to be on the lake last weekend!!! We had over 30 to the net, with the biggest being this 18lb hen. They were all released to fight another day!!! Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Just stating facts Gill, sorry you thought you needed to clarify. But i guess if you know how to use them, then they wouldn’t dig into your wrist. Most of clients actually use it to their advantage. Oh well to each their own, if you don’t like them I will take them off your hands. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Clunky??? Pretty funny that you buy a 180-200$ reel and have to send them away to get redragged!!! My Saltists are still going strong and have had them since they came out. I went to 40’s on my salmon rigger rods and also my wire rods, love them!!!! Line pick up is fast, and the power handles are awesome!!! Run my 30’s for braid, longer cores and I will be setting up a couple lite wires this year!!! You can’t go wrong!!! Capt Rich!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have all of my long coppers on Seagate 60’s, 350-500’. I went to 30lb suffix braid backing on 450-500’. No problems at all, best way I found was to have a second reel, put your copper on, then the backing until spool is full. Then reel it on to the other reel, count your passes for backing and copper, and wrote it down. The drag system and retrieve is unbeatable, especially for the price!!!

Yesterday off shore was decent when you found the bait pods. When I found temp down 88’ it was game on. But there is a lot of dead water in between.!!! Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I was deep, riggers were 95,105, dippys were 285 mag and 320 reg. Buddy just told me he was 9-20+ this afternoon. But fish from 560 back into 160’. Temp will be coming up o we the next couple of days. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

fish are still there. It’s time to throw temp out the window!!! We took the majority of our fish in 68-72 degree water Sunday for the Invitational. Spoons, bait, and flies took our shots. Hearing the temp as settled a little More today. So it should be get much better by the weekend. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Never had that happen, and have been running them since they came out. I know there is a guy in Rochester I believe. Something like Rochester reel repair or something along that lines. Tuna Toms is where i have sent my reels. They are online, you will have to mail it to them. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
