So does anyone fish or just nah???

[smoker]

Has anyone used this style line release. I got one but never tried it fishing yet. It seems the fish will release it good bit it i need to bring line up empty it seems like it may be a pain to release.
Any input. Might try it next time i go.

It's by far the best release out there. They're hard to find...only available at Bass Pro in Canada.
If you find it anywhere else, please post. It's close to $30 Cdn.

Once set, it works at a wide range of depths , lure drag, and trolling speed. I won't use the clothes
pin style anymore.

I was going to tell a story about how I caught this brown trout on 4lb line and it took 3 days to reel in. But really this is my old True Temper Uni-Spin rod with a Bronson 63 reel. One I use to use back in the days in upstate NY on Lake Champlain. I had to dig it out. And the trout is from a hatchery that I worked at that fell ill to Hurricane Hugo back in 1996. All we could hear was Hugo is coming.

Nice one.
We still caught buckets twenty years ago to six in one wild system and up to nine in a stocked farmers pond as kids. He feed them like coy. We snuck in many times. Got shot at too. Fun times.

Got this eye yesterday. Had to work for it. Not sure what was going on but couldnt locate them. Then found out after the lake rolled last week and they moved in shollower water.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm away a lot without internet.

The top clip goes to the downrigger cable, the bottom clip hooks onto cannon ball.

When trolling , the white tension adjuster is forward and tilted up slightly ,
the black part trails at a slightly downward angle

The fish line is wrapped 320 degrees at the rear groove. ( Just fold the line at the desired set back for your lure,
...hook the loop into the groove and pull line into the groove.)

I doesn't look like it works and I would probably never try it, but my friend/fishing partner put me onto it.
It definitely work and works well...no line damage too.

With Summer rolling around here down-under, I'm trying to decide on a few goals for my Kayak fishing adventures this season. I try to pick a few ideas to test and stick with them until I learn as much as I can and then move onto the next goals. There are, unfortunately, a few left over from last season I haven't nailed, but I'm contemplating a few more and wondering what the salt water fishos in particular on here think about:

1. zero swivels
2. zero leader (this could be dicey)
3. exclusively inline eye single lure hooks for every type of fishing

This morning fun time.
