I have used it in Lake Ontario, what a fun way to catch a fish . Another name for it is a knuckle buster. No drag just direct drive just the fish pulling one way and you pulling the other if your hand slips off the handles they spin very fast.
Big John does not have dealers in Canada any more so you have to get parts from the USA eather by atrip across or order them online or from an American catalog.
I don't know much about that end of Lake Ontario. Lake Erie this time of year you go out into 65 ft. of water close to the USA and Canadian border. fish the down riggers around 30 ft. repillin red fines is a good bait on a long lead 50-100 ft back and long lines with a deep diving imitation fish. I fished some out of Erieau or
Rondeau park.
GBalls,
I forgot to add it does not matter what lures you have in the tackle box if you have a hammered williams in the water, 1/2 half silver other half gold.
When the weather is fit and you have time is the time to go fishing. A friend used to fish down 37-1/2 ft. in any depth of water and did alright. The secret to fishing is have fun. Just saying
