Being greedy on the mags!-Reel Cam

#1 Post by StevieR »

Was blowing a gale today so headed down the beach to see how far I could push it with mag starting position. Just overdone it this cast. The reel takes a big slow down about 50m in. Still. Went a reasonable distance.

Id be more worried about the transition from one line to another,
they look like diff densities? Mag seems ok, I've a few that run hairier and still get away. What dia line were you on??

Sakuma nite crystal 0.31mm going on to Ultima red ice 0.32mm. Altho when reeling in it feels alot different more than the 0.01mm difference.

Just a wee Sony digital camera, the type you take on holiday. Strapped on with a lot of brown parcel tape!
