Hi @random1883. With a large treble hook, you would run into the problem of having the fish stay hooked when you're reeling it in. A large treble hook tend to not get a good hold inside the fish mouth.
The 200's and 220"s are absolute wahoo slaying machines! Thank you Nomad for making such an incredible lure! Caught 12 wahoo that year on a ten day out of San Diego, great memories!
@amritsingh Penn will be making these reels available some time in September. You can pre-order one now on our webiste. www.meltontackle.com/penn-fathom-electric-reel-kits.html
@waltn3202 Mustad J-Assist 2 Heavy Duty Assist Hooks Size 6/0 was used as seen in the video. We suggest using Mustad J-Assist 1 or 2 Heavy Duty Assist Hooks Size 6/0 or 7/0 for Rip Roller jigs weighing between 300-500g. You can find those J-Assist Hooks here: www.meltontackle.com/mustad-j-assist-1-heavy-duty-assist-hooks.html www.meltontackle.com/mustad-j-assist-1-heavy-duty-assist-hooks-1.html
thanks for making this video, quick and simple tips, I agree with crimpping instead of the crazy chain knot, so.e of this guys are trying to brainwash us, ohhh you need this knot to catch big fish
I like it and get great results with it, it has two draw backs: it knots easily and has no give, but it's benefits are immense: thinner diameter for farther casting and the ability to fit more line on your reel and better strength and longevity than monofilament, it's not just better strength, it's incredibly strong
Amazing Reels....BUT ! this company have "cero" customer service after purchase, I do have 3 old LP reels with bad motors, they wont sell me a new motor, they told me they do not sell any spare parts from old models because they want customers to buy the new reel models...... so be aware of this before you buy.....

A little late to the conversation, but try to remember there are quite a few brands of "Braid" on the market these days. However, there are much fewer "manufacturers" of Braid out there. So many times people make comment about this brand or that brand, you have to remember it might be a different label, or colour, but it could well be made in the exact same factory......
We do not have any specific specs for this new Beastmaster 9000B. When we do we will gladly pass them on. These reels are the same as the Japanese versions, except in English. They do offer a BM6000 in Japan. I have no idea what is the same across the 6000/9000 if anything.
“What are specs for the upgraded gigamax motor? Is it the same as the Japanese MD’s? The MD 6000 is similar in size of the US 9000, yet weighs 2.4 more lbs and has less line capacity, because the MD motor is 40 percent larger and stronger.
Thank you Tracy for posting this video. You mentioned the new Beastmaster has an upgraded motor and drag system, do you have the specs for that? And is it comparable to the Japanese Beastmaster MD 6000/12000” Thanks
Hello. For the 50A, can you advise if this reel is taller than the 30WLRSA? How does the 50A handle braid lay / lap compared to the 30WLRSA? What is the better reel for standup fishing for tuna - 50A or 30WLRSA and why? Cameron
