Great video overall. Certain brands of monofilament float but many do not. Raven mainline and other similar brands are made specifically for float fishing. Those have been treated with a special coating to give that effect. By itself mono has neutrally buoyancy causing it to sink albeit slowly after it breaks through the surface tension. Braid does float but I don't consider it great for float fishing because during the winter months it freezes due to absorbing some of the water. Plus I find it harder to manage and it tends to wrap itself around the rod tip which gets seriously aggravating.
Hey if you use CetrePin you should have a rod=sliding reel holder for it. So it can be balanced for catching. Do you have a rod holder for a spinning reel, dude? So I can't see it, in 6 years = 1910 subscribers? 0,8 Human/day! AWESOME! Bye
When i stopped steelhead fishing id switched over to a flyrod. I got back into it this year with a spinning rod. If you're a beginner id HIGHLY recommend a spinning rod. Way easier to cast, can use flies and bait, jigs etc, and although getting a drift anywhere as good as a centerpin is tough its definitely possible and easier to cast. That being said i just got a 10.5 pinland rod whoch has a Tennessee handle so you can use a centerpin or spinning reel and though listed as a 3 weight and ultralight its basically like my light action spinning rod of the same length which has been just fine. Ive never used a centerpin, so until im used to casting with it ill probably put my spinning reel on when fishing bigger water and need to cast further. For a spinning reel, im never spending more than what a Pfleuger trion or president costs. Most reliable spinning reels ive used, good drag, only difference between the two is the number or ball bearings. Like he said, mono is where its at for float fishing, i used braid a lot this year and it worked decent, but i just didn't want to take it off because it was expensive and didn't feel like using a different reel. Use high visibility to you can keep track of it for mending. Then i always use flouro for the leader because of its stealth, and i make it long as i can without having to put my float on it. Obviously its lighter than my main line, its 6 to 8 lb..mostly 6 even if im not salmon fishing, and putting the float on the main line to not lose it. Sorry for the essay, not trying to sound like an expert im sure this gentleman knows more as ive only just gotten back into it.
Great idea. Definitely going to concider this. Just one question...the usb/voltmeter...why not put where the vent valve is under the handle? Thank you in advance.
Was wondering if you would be able to measure it fully extended for me please. Was wondering if it would be long enough to use in my shack. Again thank you
I bought some minnows the other day. They all died. Im not sure why? I set up the tank and put an sponge air filter in and within a day the water got cloudy. They all died within a week. Im not sure what I did wrong. The tank was around 67 degrees there was only 12 minnows a 5 gallon tank
Last year I got into using BER centerpin reels they are on the higher end as far as cost but they are the best in my opinion. Have paired it with a Bloodrun Skein Cane HD perfect set up for Salmon/Steelhead.
Yeah subtleness is very affective for whities, but lakers often prefer the speed, at least for me. I’ve heard of people catching them slow though… cheers.
Hey Scott, we have honestly fished all over the lake. The fish seem more scattered this year than usual. We are seeing less marks, and less eagerness to eat. Anywhere north of cooks bay will have fish.
Wow congrats Matthew a true trophy walleye and then some ! Absolutely epic you caught that on film great job bro very impressive ! Good fishing always sincerely Record 🎣
Really appreciate this series. This is a style of fishing that I’ve used a spinning or fly rod for. Biting the bullet and getting a centerpin combo. I want to be able to control my drifts and fight a steelhead! Going to learn casting on local streams for trout this April. Thanks for your videos.
Okuma floatreels are ok. Rods too. Luhr Jensen & Rapala are some other reel/rods to check out. For Niagara Salmon I would use 12# Mainline or more. Use a heavier rod that can handle the leader strength. Use 8-12# fluoro-carbon leaders for jigs or zonkers or skein. fish on.
Awesome vid,what depth were you in the vid? I fish a very small lake for perch but I wanna track them down but I don’t have any fish finders or flashers just old school maps
Great review! Any idea if I can use this with my 18V Milwaukee drill that has a 1/4" chuck? Can I just use a 1/4 to 1/2" adaptor? Wasn't sure if it would all fit properly when combined with the side pieces. Thanks!
