60 meters of 1.8mm Dyneema reel line is great. You are right - for the exceptional cases, when needing more line attaching the gun to a backup belt reel is common practice.If shooting larger fish maybe it's good to switch to break-away setups or clip the gun's handle clip to a float line.
Nice as usuel like your products that I use ! RA is the best... The old reel tends to no longer be able to brake after 40 or 50 shoots of big fishes. Mechanism wears out a bit. And I always wait for a bigger reel model with 80/90 m.
Hey Rob, great video again. Can you please let me know what knot you tie on the belt-reel (3:22) in between the plastic nut and the plastic covered dyneema. My reel came with these parts but untied. Thanks again
We use the same knot as used when fitting Dyneema as a shooting line when connecting the spear ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nddtFJP9yH4.html
Is that line ant line that’s on the new reels, if so who do I contact from your distributors to have reels come spooled with that line and not the nylon coated dyneema?
Where are you in the world? Ant line was a generic name a long time back for Dyneema, it is going to be re introduced. Nylon is not a coating used on Dyneema, some stiffen it with a type of polyurethane.
I love how these manufacturers sound like they are making changes for the benefit of the consumer. This shit should be accomplished before he ever takes a dime. Hustle doesn’t fly here.
Hi Shakubob, this reel was originally designed for reef fish hunting, not game fish. Customers started using it for game fish, hence the change to keep up with the customers changing needs.
