Quote from: oldmanjoe on May 06, 2024, 09:11:38 PMI'll get back to you on the depths. I think I remember 70% on the survival rates, I'll get more info on that too!Quote from: Breadfan on May 06, 2024, 01:39:24 PMThis is so good to see on my favorite forum! My daughter (I've spoken about her a few times on this site) is taking her PHD in Marine Biology at Florida and it is this program (Return em' Right) that is paying for her education and employees her. She is doing a lot of the statistics and research on this device. Very cool to see it come around with people I've associated with on the forum. She is one of my favorite humans to fish with and she uses a conventional reel, of course, because that's what she saw me fish with.I wish to know more about the proper release depths and survival rates .
Quote from: Bill B on Today at 03:21:47 PM55 and 55A are two different bearings with two different purposes. 55 is the stub shaft bearing that fits inside the spool and is necessary/important. With out it the reel will be rough while reeling. 55A supports the spool.I've often wondered if that could be replaced by a bronze bushing/oilite bearing... I just hate supporting large loads on small bearings.
With bearing 55 missing you wouldn't notice it during free spool but definitely would upon retrieve. Rather expensive little bugger but totally necessary. Bill
Quote from: oldmanjoe on Today at 12:21:03 PM I have always gravitated towards mechanisms , love the looks and appreciate the thought process that went to build them . I try not to polish them to much , it make it much easier to slap them on a stick and fish them ... Again nice work .
