    Fish Consumption advisories

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    I'm not 100% on this but I thought when fish are tested, they grind up the whole fish because some people make soup ,using the whole fish,that way there's an accurate count on various toxins.

    Filleting a fish , removing the skin, and lateral line area ,and belly reduces consumption of toxins which build up more in these areas of fish.

    The longer a fish lives the more toxins are absorbed.

    Salmon grow rapidly compare to say a bass or walleye .

    I think I saw a chart in the back of the fishing regs that showed how long it takes a fish to become certain size and weight.

    That would be a good gauge to see what size fish you would want to eat of that species comparing how long it lived absorbing toxins.

    Look at the videos they have on you tube. I believe there's a link on the website.

    There's a black knob on the side off the spool, tighten that up till it holds your weight.
    There is a shock spring installed on the cable above the ball to help with cushioning the sudden stop
    When the ball is retrieved ,and it's the boom the clutch keeps spinning until you turn it off.
    Everything is very smooth .

    Clutch is like a drag on your reel for example

    Just bought a pair of magnums
    Received them last week, used them briefly over the weekend.
    Need to use more for a better review but they seem great quality .

    They swivel smooth .

    The boom locks down and pull a pin and the boom goes up and locks with a pin also.

    Clutch/ drag is smooth as well.

    Everything is aluminum or stainless, I believe that's on the website as well.

    Website says 2 weeks. Try 4 weeks
