I think it is too big for salmon, bream and flathead but ok for larger gummy sharks, generally because with this size of reel you would spool it with heavier line. A 4000 reel would be ok for those fish, you may like to see my other reel unboxing videos, links below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MknMU6dhEU8.htmlsi=GKJ-NFV4riLO33re ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fbKZN-n3PF0.htmlsi=7LfoWAY7d5sqjGsy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CKVfPiBPk7Y.htmlsi=_vNWVMqJlug8KJxY
@@naviyerac 100 straight? Man, I’d be elated to shoot just one perfect round. I got a shotkam last week and have identified some problem ares that I hope will improve my score.
Thanks for the info...ignition connection and firewall. Bought a 2023 base model white mux last christmas. Also seriously thought about an Itech setup like ours but have decided to go down the Itech portable Gofurther box with 120aH bluetooth battery path. Hope it is all working for you. Plan to have my done in the next 2 months.
Thanks for your comments, your planned setup looks useful, my setup is working well with the fridge, I also have iTechworld 200W solar blanket, the DC-DC charger, hub and battery all worked flawlessly, I never turned the fridge off over a 4 week trip. the battery never went below 83% charge.
I put the cable through the firewall myself, as in the video you can use a straightened coat hanger and push it through the grommet from inside the car and out into the engine bay, then tape your cables to the wire in the engine bay and pull through into the car, if the cables are too wide you may need to cut the grommet slightly as I did, when pushing the wire through, be careful of the wires in the loom, I sealed the grommet with sikaflex, hope this helps.
Yes it is a bit tight in there, first remove the kick panel on the left where passengers feet are, pull out the gloves box, pull back the carpet, then you will need to pull back the carpet backing around the cable loom, it is tight but accessible, just need to be persistent, also if you take photos or video you can then look at them to get a better idea
You don’t lock the fg by doing an half hitch with the fc, it’s pointless (as the leader won’t slip at that point) , doesn’t lock the knot , and also creates a useless thicker part in the knot that isn’t ideal when the knot passes through the guides. To lock the knot you have to do an half hitch with the tag end of the braid going around the leader and the main line
@@ibcoutdoors have you played around with melting the tag end of the leader instead of tying a knot in it. i've been doing this exact same method except that been working great for me.
@arcticicemonkey, I looked at melting the tag end of the leader but it doesn't leave a smooth end, this is why I use the Rizzuto finish against the tag end of the leader, this prevents the FG knot from slipping off and creates a smooth finish, I don't use a knot but a half hitch of the leader tag end when tying the FG knot. One thing I have noticed when researching the FG knot, there are so many ways to tie it.
What was shown is pretty standard. I tie mine in exactly the same way as the video, except I don't melt the braid tag end. I was casting this morning with ultralight gear (i.e. tiny rod guides) and smooth as butter.
Thanks, yes the tool is a little small but fits in the hand ok, with the amount of times I need to tie an FG knot it works out well and quick and easy to use if needed when out fishing.
Thanks for the link to the video, it is a good method too, when learning how to tie the FG knot I watched many videos on different methods and ways to tie it, unfortunately I don't have enough dexterity in my fingers, the Knot assist tool works well for me especially when I need to tie an FG knot quickly in the boat, thanks again for your comment.
If you are shooting single barrel competition you only load one shell, if you are shooting double barrel competition you load 2 shells, there are different competition formats around the world, here in Australia double barrel competition is standard, if I am not wrong ISSF trap also shoots double barrel during normal rounds and for the finals shoot-offs shoots single barrel. www.melbournegunclub.com/issf/
No buildings affected, the only areas affected were the normal Apex park and Painters Island caravan park, there is a Levey bank around the low lying part of Wangaratta, there was concern it may be breached, luckily it held up and the rain eased enough that the river didn't get any higher.
This is the main bridge over the Ovens river just downstream from the junction with the King river, I didn't go to other bridges or out of town to film them, the flooding you see is normal for Wangaratta but a little higher than usual.
