Title: These guys need some Carbontex
Post by: Killerbug on April 12, 2014, 07:20:39 PM
I fished with Ben Olsen last year, will definitely recommend him as a guide.  In the winter month, he guides around Florida.

Also some bait-runner reels. Anyone who fishes with their clicker on aboard my boat buys the beer on the way home. ;D

Many big game charter captains insist the clicker stays on throughout the fight.  Some don't want it on.  I think when chasing the line it's easier to hear how fast line is being retrieved relative to vessel speed and direction then to gauge it be looking at the line (often obscured by glare/sighting conditions), the anglers arm/cranking speed (dependent upon what gear the reel is in), and spool fullness when watching and driving from the flybridge.  Many of these reel's clicker plates get so worn they need replacement in less then a year. 

I don't think this is the case here though.  Just novice saltwater anglers.

I only leave my Clicker On When I'm waiting for a Shark to take the Bait. Nothing Like hearing that slow Roll! ;) That Usually Means Big Fish On! :P

I am visually challenged, I use the clicker when salmon trolling, or trolling in general, just makes life easier.  Didn't know it was a vorbotten issue with some crews.
