I get into everything diy from vehicle maintenance & home repair to hvac & fishing lures & everything in between. Have always been good with my hands & have 4 kids so i use those hands to save some money. You can too. Follow along while i show you how to make it or do it (Better than Bought) #BetterthanBought
In SWFL Gulf, the typical grouper line is 50lb leader, 5/0 hooks and 5oz weights. If I used 100+ lb mono leaders for bottom fishing grouper, I'd NEVER catch a grouper. I love your videos! They're accurate and informative.
Absolutely i wouldn't use these in the gulf either 40/50lb fluro & longer length back their ill usually go 75' maybe even a 100' depending but i dont fish the gulf much unless offshore is nasty & im forced too basically. This is what we'll use off the ocean side/east coast off the keys. Mainly drifting wrecks,reefs & ledges with my family. The kids just arent there yet so i rig heavy otherwise im tying on rigs all day its tough but its a family trip type thing so is what it is until they sharpen those skills. We're getting them there though. Hope yall are having a good season gona be murked up for awhile after that storm🤦♂️ Stay safe out there bud & thanks for stopping by & sharing some info we appreciate that👊🙏
@@TeamHardLife yall are leaps & bounds beyond anything i do my guy💪💪🙌 i know to stfu & listen when legends speak too. These are strictly our wahoo trolling setups for South Florida/Fl keys fishing. Never had an issue with it slipping but i will definitely check out your recommendations as i said im not ignorant & definitely know who you boys n gals are👊🙌🙌 honored to have you comment on my page my guy🙏 Yall stay safe out there👊🙏
Hello Sir,I think I mistakenly bought the smaller Yozuri Bonito,I realise it doesn't really go deep when trolling, can I use a sinker with it to get it down there? Thanks
You absolutely can i would recommend a cigar style trolling weight with a 50' mono leader between the sinker & bonita. This means you'll need to hand line the keader but it will get it down for ya. Another option would be planer setup. Go get em boss👊🙌🙌
@Betterthanbought. Thanks very much I didn't realise you use a planer with these as an option, I have a 4 and going to purchase a 6 as we speak. Thanks again.
Could I get more info on size set up in regards to lengths. I was wondering about lengths 6 " / 8" and long version templates. WOW, Great info and video. THank you very much
Thank you, sir. This is the best tutorial on this knot that I have found, thank you for taking the time to show us, still seeking my first longnose purple catfish

That was an old boat trailer guide post i had laying around. But any metal/fabrication place heck maybe Lowes or HD. You just want thick wall aluminum pipe with no dents or bends. Cut then deburr the ends really well slightly chamfer them actually or the leads wont drop out easily. And be careful. Thanks for stopping by. Go make you some up👊🙌🙌
Yaa couple ppl wondered that. These are our high speed setups specifically for trolling for wahoo. I packed it on there but new it wasn't as tight as it could be. Once we got to the keys i let out about 3/4 of it hooked to a num4 planer doing 8 knotts & cranked it all back in only used a half gal of sweat😅 & then i had plenty of room for my 50' wind on. Was a gamble i knew it was stuffed but i wanted every inch i could get & it worked out. Good eye man you have a clue unlike alot of the commenters that just dont understand or even care to ask what the setups used for. lol. A guy using a shock cord & cigar weight wouldn't use a topshot or wind-on or even wind on the shock cord so he could stuff it real good. But ppl dont ask or understand most times. Tight lines to ya my friend & be safe out there🙏🙏 appreciate you stopping by the channel👊
Absolutely & with your wallet i would. We're not all rich & unfortunately for me i have to wait for the sales. This was a killer deal so on it went. Its quality line regardless. Does matter to me i buy alot of usa products but i cant always do it man🤷♂️. Sorry to disappoint ya👊
I like your video nice and informative i just think you should change the rod running braid i wouldnt use that rod the wheels dont work well with braid maybe change it to a strong rod with just the holes instead of the one with the wheels would be alot better for trolling and turning youre lures will straighten up quicker
Ya i agree most full roller setups dont work well with braid especially with the xtra wide reels. That said these rods have a different wheel setup than most so the line cant get stuck beside the wheels like most setups do. Its made/designed specifically for braided line & i have never had a single issue with any of them. We actually have a few of these setups & fish them hard. I have had them for several yrs now & couldn't be happier with them. There specifically setup for high speed trolling for wahoo mainly with plainers & not used for anything else. Mono is too thick for this application it causes too much drag aka line scope stopping baits/lures from diving deep at h8gher speeds. The thin braid is a must have. But to each their own my friend. I appreciate you checking out the channel. Tight lines & stay safe out there👊🙏
I just put a150 lb braid on my penn 309 for fishing of the holyoke bridge for stripers and shad plus sometimes you hook onto a monster sturgeon I wish I would have known what I just learned so far my biggest striper is 50 lbs 10oz unbelievable fight when your a 100 feet off the water I lost a 12 to 15 foot. Sturgeon I played for 3 hrs then broke me off I was heartbroken. That's why I went to 150 lb test I was using 80 no more that my fish story but true !!!!!!!!!! Thank for the information!!!!!!
R is the same thing. You can also buy the “grease buddy” for the Mag and PTO side. It goes on the tube you showed on the PTO side and a bolt with a hole in the mag side. Then you can grease them with ease.
Its in the reel box. We live in maine & we fly all this equipment to the keys in the belly of a jet each fall. Once down south everything gets setup properly. Thanks for stopping by👊 tight lines
There for pelagic trolling lures used for Wahoo Mahi Marlin, Sailfish ect. Personally i just use them for Wahoo but we always pick up mahi also. They help prevent short strikes/misses when high speed trolling. Good for squid skirted & mylar skirted lures. Cant run double hooks with anything flashabou skirted they'll tangled up bad you'll want a single hook far back for flashabou. Hope that helps. Apologies for the pathetically slow reply.
Does anybody know the correct amount for the PTO side? I just rebuilt the lower end but I had a hard time getting the inner pto bearing. So I have a little bit of Isoflex left over that I’d like to inject in.
10-15 ml is what it is said to be correct for a refill on the pto side. Ive done 10ml without any problems. Just dont overdue it or force it in otherwise you risk blowing out the seal. Good luck.
Do you pull your seal off before you add the grease so that the pressure from pushing it in has a place to go? I’ve heard about the inner seal for the outer bearings could blow out. I’m about to grease my bearings on a rev 500, and was just curious if I had to worry. Basically I’m wondering if I’m able to just put the grease through that port you show, while turning over the motor slowly, with the seal on
No concerns unless you put too much in there. Dont force it go slow & slowly rotate as you said. Keep the isoflex inside/warm it will make things much easier. If your concerned put in half what they recommend go on a good ride then add 2nd half👍 Ppl that just force it in quickly or use too much can definitely push it past the seal & cause major issues. Follow the guidelines you'll be good to go. Now if your super fussy & have no problem yanking the clutch then sure drive a acrew into the seal pull it wipe out all old grease then do it from that end & replace the seal. But again dont overdue it or when you go to seat the new seal hydraulic pressure will blow the inner seal out as your saying. Sounds like you have a good idea about it all so i would suggest doing whichever way you feel most comfortable with👊 Thanks for stopping by the channel & happy trails my friend.
@@thegreatgreennorth9983what about injecting half of grease slowly into the nipple side with the seal off (while turning motor slowly), and then the other half putting into the face of the outer bearing (once the old grease is all wiped away). At same time, it replaces the old seal that can potentially leak air and blow the motor. Also, I wonder why they didn’t add a nipple to the MAG side? Is it because there’s only one bearing on mag side?
You can use what you'd like but this is how i spool all our reels always have always will i dint like a rushed job. Its tight the line dont dig in we high speed troll planers with these setups you couldn't possibly put anymore tension on them😅 if they where going to dig they would have & there wouldn't be a 65lb wahoo on my wall my friend. You do you, machine away my guy👍👍 ill keep stackin it on proper slow n steady👌
No isoflex doesn't reach the inner bearings ever those 2 are oil bathed. Please watch the video you will see how there all seperate. Pto and mag sides get isoflex only. The inners get bathed in 2 stroke oil constantly. Hence why those rarely fail. Using more isoflex than is recommended can damage the inner seal for outer bearings by creating hydraulic pressure just dont overdue it theres clear amounts specified for each yr/model simply follow that & your good to go👍 also make sure your buying real isoflex from a (dealer only) Hope that helps clear things up👊
@@thegreatgreennorth9983 Great explanation about the outer bearings. The 2 center bearings aren't in an oil bath, they are lubed from the oil injection. Only the water pump/oil pump gear/bearings are in an oil bath. Check out a shop manual and you'll see that they spec to add 50ml of oil to that cavity when assembling the engine. Also if you look closer at the crank in the video, you can see where the red center seals are located. They're on the wrong side of the bearing if they're meant to keep the bearing in an oil bath.
Absolutely do go ck out my Instagram been in the keys for past 2 weeks been cleaning up. We only fish 2 wks a yr down south & those baits are brand new im not sure where you got used from. My Instagram is Thewoodworker1. 16 tuna 2 wahoo 9 mahi 3 cudas bonitas bunch of reef n trash fish. 1 week offshore. We do a family trip with our kids so don't exspect alot. The kids can only take so much before its not fun anymore & its their vacation too. More about memmories than anything. But go have a look just let me know your ig handle & ill approve you👊
How many inches is a that pipe in the video and how many pounds does it come out to be? I know you mentioned 10 pounds for the large one but just wanted to make sure on the length of the pipe, thanks!!!!
Make sure you get real isoflex from a dealer. There's tons of imitation crap labeled as iso but its not the same & will cause issues. Have a helper turn the engine over by hand (plug wires removed) as you do the mag side it will help get it spread through more evenly. Just 1 slow rotation as you squeeze in the isoflex. Thank you for stopping by the channel & happy riding this yr man👊 hopefully we get some major snow🙏🙏
Thanks for the clear explanation. I'm also servicing an 800r I just don't see the access nipple on these blocks. Only have 4 ports on carb side of motor. 2 oil and 2 air pulse lines. Great trick with the ziptie and rotating motor to check for access to bearing.
Some of us take pride in everything we do sorry if thats odd to you. You can use a cement block for all i care my friend🤷♂️ That should be easier on your head to figure out👍
