Victor, just a heads-up in regards to when you know a fish can safely swim off when reviving them. Just look at the pectoral fins, if they are "fluttering" for stabilization, they're all set. Also, I've Never caught a crappie that big in my life and i_fish for them quite a bit every year. What a fish!

The fast action has served my needs, but the more i cast the 5'6" Okuma Celilo i got my wife, the more i like the parabolic action and sensitivity. Cant justify it after a year of binging on new fishing gear, but I look forward to picking up a Presso series rod ASAP.

Just ordered a few of your float kits, both slip and fixed. Been waiting on them for a while eager to test them for panfish season. I rarley fish floats, but thats probably because everything in the stores is utter trash. Ive been needing to try some of your jigheads, as my gekkabijin stock is running low, and i think yours would look great being fly tied on. The comment you made in a previous video made me chuckle I think the slip bobber stops are absolutley outrageous there is a brand called sougayilanf that has a 100m spool of a cheap cheap multicolor 4x braid for 1.50$ on AE
@ifishcatfish
5 ай бұрын
yes. And even monofilament might be an option. Richard Gene has been sporting mono with his slip floats for some time now. I want to send him some floats but i have very low stocks now, probably will do on the next batch. I think he will like them. He likes small floats
@12345B
5 ай бұрын
@ifishcatfish I see, I never thought of mono, I thought it might be problematic going through guides compared to the softness of braid, but I'm sure it works, would be good on a rod like usdm presso that doesn't have the jdm micro guides.
