Nice Gary!
A question; why use a mooching real for salmon instead of a geared multiplier (conventional)?
well mr. swill; its like this for me. Its waay more fun I think, Its in a way where we go backwards to find happiness in order to go more in a seemingly forward direction...... That may seem crazy to the unaccomplished or to the more modern person that thinks the advantage they can put on the fish is hi techee speeds,drag, alarms, counters,and bells and beepers.
But the mooching reel is a backward bastard to what is commonplace as we see it today in a trolling reel. there is no casting, you just let line out by freespool ot by stripping in the old 12345+ fashon and either reeling in or setting and holding in place the depth and offering the bait to the fish in a simple wait n see scenerio.......
But the reason I prefer these reels are; you now have a reel with direct drive. the drive ratio is 1-1. it is the most simple connection to the fish since the cane pole......its like not wearing long johns to bed with your wife on your first nite. Its just waay more fun.
Plus a biggee is as you are trolling you often have to check your bait for fouling w weeds on the bait, weight, or diving planer, or downrigger in this way you the fisher never have to crank down on you drag like a multiplier reem and reset Direct drive means instant power,action etc , because your continuing to troll generally and dont stop. its a nagging question do I want to check my bait? or troll weeds and slime for a while.???? And there is the Always good chance that you do hook a fish, you play it like when you would normally and then it gets ready to net Again you have the Avantage because you have Direct Drive you can horse some with cranking 1-1 but when the big un says h.no and runns its not oh #### time! it just point the rod twards where its goin na there is no more adjusting just keep crankin and you be a happy camper!
This is my go of salmon fishing after 50+ years doin it. God bless Hatcherys, God Damn net pens. Merry Christmas
I like the direct drive cause its this......its not for everybody. but its defiantly for trolling my favorite
Good work Gary. ;D
Your quotes remind me of Christmas Vacation. Hallelujah, Holy Sh?*& Where's the Tylenol. :D
Great read Gary! Oh yeah..and by the way nice <#%ing fish..lol. Happy holidays
