I have to agree I find they also are far less forgiving with exposure to elements in the long term without proper care

When it starts out no. Over time if you do a lot of adjustments with it, occasionally you may see some slippage. Generally what I do when that happens is I switch the keeper out with a new one and when I get back home make sure there is no gunk in the gap and then place it in hot water. Usually fixes the issue of slippage. Other than that I have cast these hard with a 1/2 oz sinker behind it and it doesn’t move. Hope this helps!!

@@theknottyfisherman58thanks brother!!

Water bobbers are good for a variety of uses from what I have seen, from the traditional function of mostly exposed to let the bait just float along, to filling them 75% or more to try and use a fly with them. I usually keep one or two on hand for those types of days.

Definitely one of the best out there in its price range!

Mine is 3 inches

@@Natasha-y5lthanks for telling us, really appreciated

We need to get a group together an go if any one interested I'm in applevalley ca

Yeah that was bad on my part, I added the lakes in the description afterwards but if I remember the order of appearance it was a mixture, started at convict for the first two, then the third was June lake to the left of the marina, was wading for that one away from the shore. Got the 4th from lundy over by the old launch ramp, may not be able to get there right now. The next lake was silver lake, after that the last was me taking a boat out on gull lake to the back left of the dock. Hope that helps!!

How loose do you generally set the drag? A lot of times in the past I have had issues because I unknowingly loosened it too much. My first recommendation would be to tighten your drag other than that I will do some looking into it, I haven’t had that particular problem as of now.

@@theknottyfisherman58 yeah it stays the same even on max drag

@@prantz3052 I just checked mine, it has a similar feature. I believe its just part of the design, that they may have been "floating" it to reduce friction (just a theory). I dont think anything is actually wrong with it, just may be something that goes with the way it is made. I have put this through a ton of fish now, can honestly say it wont affect the reel's performance, but if it is a personal preference I don't believe there is a work around for that

You should have received a couple of small rubber washers with your reel. they are used as spacers for the spool in case it doesnt stack the line on the spool equally. you might try one on the spool shaft and see if that wont snug it up for you.

The nail knot is actually on my list of knots to learn and do a video on. My personal preference for combining knots is the double Uni but always good to have a back up! Thanks for the tip!

Appreciate the feed back I will definitely start working that into the videos. Yeah still new to filming it and figuring out what to incorporate. I will use the input it the next video, thank you!!

Happy it helped!! 👍

You know I am not sure, I will check tonight and get back to you on that. I can’t recall one but I will double check it (edit: I just checked and it does not)

To be fair, up until about a week and a half before I did this video I was totally rigging them wrong, so I understand. But hey, learn something new about fishing all the time am I right?

True

My pleasure! Always happy to help 🤘🏻

Appreciate it! Always happy to see a new face, if you ever have any questions or advice for me I am always up for it 👍

Glad I could help! I have a number of reels in my arsenal this was the dark horse and I can honestly say you will love it. Super lightweight super quiet and I can now say without a doubt it handles large trout well. Should serve you well, tight lines! 🤙

Hey man how do you like it compared to the Nasci? I am currently debating on this reel or the shimano. Thanks!

@@Tree-vis The Piscifun 2000 has not given me any issues at. It's a very good reel. I have no complaints whatsoever. I'm a diehard Shimano spinning reel guy and I can't say that it's better than the Nasci. I will say that it's got a much better price point! Seriously, the Piscifun is a fine reel. I hope that helps

No this is my only TH-cam channel. I was referring to my instagram for my tackle company sorry about the confusion

I used to use #4 izorline for about 6 years, just moved over to #5 fluorocarbon from runcl

@@theknottyfisherman58 ty brother! You got yourself a subscriber

@@theknottyfisherman58sorry just to clarify is that .5 or 5.0 mono? And thank you!

On the mono it would be 4lb line. It’s kinda the sweet spot for those of us who are a little more intense on their line and might break 2lb. If you want to go heavier for trout the absolute max on the mono would be 6lb. I personally recommend 4lb. Might do a video with mono again to show the difference in actual fishing conditions

@@theknottyfisherman58 ty! You did say Flouro #5 up there. Sorry didn't notice.

Off fisherman’s point to the far right of the bench. Was a mosquito owner hook size 10 when I caught the PB on night crawler. Night crawlers work really well for me up there for some reason

@@theknottyfisherman58 thank you! You're the man!

Definitely recommend it if you are looking to get a lighter reel in the 2000 series. Like I said I took a chance on this one and was pleasantly surprised, it’s currently my favorite reel that I own.

Bb may have been the wrong way to word it probably should have worded it differently. But this probably will word it better than I can. orbitfishing.com/fishing-reel-ball-bearings/

@@theknottyfisherman58 Try taking a spinning reel apart you will see where the bearings are placed. It helps

I may do that on my centron 500. Not gonna lie my biggest fear on it is not figuring out how to put the reel back together after I do that(have a habit of that happening). Any suggestions? Always up for advice and learning new things from those who have the knowledge :)

@@theknottyfisherman58 the regal doesn't have to complicating of an assembly. Just take pictures when u taken parts off. There's also videos out there

Couldn’t agree more! Honestly monofilament kept me in the game for years, only started using fluorocarbon within the last year and a half at most.

Thanks! Daiwa brand usually has some pretty solid gear. Would have to say it’s probably what most of my gear consists of.

No problem, always happy to help!

Thank you! 🙏

There is a spot on the lake called Fisherman’s Point. If you are coming up the main road past the boat house, it’s right across the lake. Pretty good fishing out of that spot usually. Decent depth, natural spring channel running in front of it maybe 15-20 ft out

Thanks brother! 🫡

Also easy to from a Carolina rig to a Texas rig or vice versa

Texas rig is something I need to do some research on keep hearing about it but never tried it

What kind of baits do you make?

I make trout worms, mice tails, mini tubes, shads, 2" mini senkos

Always open to trying new things, I do tend to use the mice tails with more success.
