  1. I have 5 of these reels for sale. They have been completely gone through by Tuna Toms reel trouble and have not seen the water since. All worn parts replaced and upgraded to tournament drags. Two are loaded with 1000 + ft of Malin 30 lb test wire and two are loaded with unused 40 lb pink ande mono and the 5th reel is still empty. If you are interested and in the Mexico area I'm here for another couple weeks. If you need to have them shipped you have to wait until my salmon season is done. 2 reels loaded with 60 bucks of wire are 180.00 each. 2 reels with ande and empty reel are 160.00 each. Picture of 3 reels as the other two are in my boat as spares but identical. Also if you are in the Mexico area I have a **** load of tackle, everything you need to chase brown trout, Lake trout and Salmon, rods and reels for sale. Would take me a couple months to list which I'll do over the winter but I'm open for a sneak preview if your in the area. Glen at 413 519-3019. I probably wont answer the phone on an unrecognized # because of all the spam BS but leave a message and I'll get back to you quick.
  2. X2. ??? With standard clips on the releases you should never lose one.
  3. tying up leaders for meat rigs with #2 owners. this weather sucks
  4. Basically you need to know how to catch fish that aren't biting and make sure your clients have a good time no matter what the fishing is. Do these two things and you will succeed. Best of luck!!
  5. Yes, like anything else they have their days.
  6. Use Ande 40 lb. No problem with the knots over 30 lb and less flea problems on the leader
  7. yes as far as I know. Good guy to do business with.
  8. 65 lb braid backer to copper, 25 ft leader of fluorocarbon from copper to lure. 20 lb for spoons or plugs 30 to 40 lb leader for flasher flys.
  9. Without reading all the responses to this post, fishing the salmon river area I've been seeing more two year old fish maturing every year for the last 10 years or so. It's not a lack of bait situation causing a lower weight thing its two year old fish maturing. Period.
  10. I have had that happen a couple times on some Okuma roller rods in the past. Upgraded to Shimano Talora roller rods probably 15 years ago and never had it happen again. Very little friction with the roller rods and the wire lasts a long time if it;s not damaged or kinked otherwise.
  11. fishing "in the Bay" is spotty. Just nw in deeper water is hot for salmon. Fish 50 to 55 deg break and it;s been moving down every day I been out. Day before yesterday it was 90 too 100 ft down, The best fishing I've ever seen in early July 160 to 225 fow. Chrome/ a little green on the paddles with an old Siggs rigs mirage fly and LLB Atomic meat rigs with Atomic cut bait is working good and consistent. A lot of 2 yr old fish with an occasional mature but not a lot of the one year olds a lot of boats are taking. Giant Lakers are about 12 miles north of the bay in 130 to 160 fow with cowbells and spin and glows run just off bottom. Brown trout are west of the plant in 70 to 90 fow. Go get um. I scheduled a couple weeks off to take care of some personal business and wish I didn't now. Good luck!!
  12. Prayers already sent. It doesn't look good. I still find it hard to believe this craft was not equipped with a gps tracking system.
  13. Slimy grimy (enviormentally friendly) and a pressure washer on fiberglass. Whatever of the dark skumline at the water line that doesn't come off with the slimy grimy I hit with a little acetone on a rag. Bottom paint and wax will make the job so much easier at the end of the season. As well as prevent blistering of the gel coat.
  14. A full career of talent and great music. Every Great Lakes fishermen can relate to Nov 11th 1975 when the Edmond Fitzgerald went down.
  15. Sorry for your loss Nick
  16. Either Diawa directly or maybe tunas reel troubles as they stock a lot of diawa parts
  17. I bought a roll of I believe it was parachute cord that works good. I'll double check what it was when I get up to the lake tomorrow. I fact I got a lot left so if you happen to be going through mexico I can give you some.
  18. You the guy that started making the original SS 2nd keels a few years ago?
  19. Heres my cell # 519-3019. You can pm me yours if you want Glen ( Reel Adventure Charters ) Mikes east which is off the road down to the state launch.
