Did mine by poking a screwdriver through a tennis ball then put the spool of wire on the screwdriver then poke it through another tennis ball and clamped in a vice. You can add as much pressure as you like.
My 2000 went flakey on me last year. Lucky it was my last week of the season. Started cutting in and out and then just went. Had it for 5 yrs. and was told they had a lot of trouble with the 2000 and I must have been one of the lucky ones. Got the new 4000 and adapter cable in the mail today. Can't wait to try it.
So whats everybody's all time favorite line counter reel for the spring time brown fishing. Was thinking of buying some accudepth 47's. Is there a better choice?

NY requires life jackets for cold weather boatingText Size: A | A | A

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York has become the first state to require life jackets for everyone in all small pleasure craft during the six coldest months of the year, when capsized boaters drown faster in chilly water.
Starting Nov. 1, kayakers, canoeists and all those aboard other boats under 21 feet must wear Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices while on lakes, the ocean or other waterways.
The rule will remain in effect through May 1. Violators will face fines ranging from $25 to $100.
Similar measures apply to canoes and kayaks in Massachusetts and to all manually propelled vessels, including rowboats, in Connecticut.
Falling into cold water can trigger shock, disorientation or gasping and inhaling water. Immersion can lead to hypothermia and passing out.
I know it's kind of early to be asking, but does anybody have some names & phone numbers of places for indoor storage(25'boat) around the Red Creek, Fair Haven, or Oswego area? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
How do you fish with a flasher and fly? I though a flasher was a fisherman in a buffy suit. Does that mean you have to tie the fly right on the end of the pole?
