    The Seagates are a better reel in that price range and give you a better drag, and high retrieve rate. I ran the Sealine, and the seagate is a much better reel. They have the same drag system as the Saltist. I run Saltist and the Seagates for all of my full cores, and all of my coppers. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Go with the Daiwa Seagate 60, I have them spoiled from 350-500’. Same drag as the saltist and the high speed retrieve. My customers love them!!!! They won’t break the bank either!! Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Pretty much every fish we got Saturday was thick and healthy. We had one with a big lamprey on it, which went back in multiple pieces. But that was the only one that I recall that had a mark on it. We did a few skippys also, which I was glad to see. This is my second trip out in a couple weeks, and these were the first little guys i had seen. We have got a good number of fish that did not run the tribs this season!!! They were munching on gobies, had a few that were spitting them up when they came aboard!! Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I can concur it was great to be on the lake last weekend!!! We had over 30 to the net, with the biggest being this 18lb hen. They were all released to fight another day!!! Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Just stating facts Gill, sorry you thought you needed to clarify. But i guess if you know how to use them, then they wouldn’t dig into your wrist. Most of clients actually use it to their advantage. Oh well to each their own, if you don’t like them I will take them off your hands. Capt Rich.

    Clunky??? Pretty funny that you buy a 180-200$ reel and have to send them away to get redragged!!! My Saltists are still going strong and have had them since they came out. I went to 40’s on my salmon rigger rods and also my wire rods, love them!!!! Line pick up is fast, and the power handles are awesome!!! Run my 30’s for braid, longer cores and I will be setting up a couple lite wires this year!!! You can’t go wrong!!! Capt Rich!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have all of my long coppers on Seagate 60’s, 350-500’. I went to 30lb suffix braid backing on 450-500’. No problems at all, best way I found was to have a second reel, put your copper on, then the backing until spool is full. Then reel it on to the other reel, count your passes for backing and copper, and wrote it down. The drag system and retrieve is unbeatable, especially for the price!!!

    Yesterday off shore was decent when you found the bait pods. When I found temp down 88’ it was game on. But there is a lot of dead water in between.!!! Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    fish are still there. It’s time to throw temp out the window!!! We took the majority of our fish in 68-72 degree water Sunday for the Invitational. Spoons, bait, and flies took our shots. Hearing the temp as settled a little More today. So it should be get much better by the weekend. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Never had that happen, and have been running them since they came out. I know there is a guy in Rochester I believe. Something like Rochester reel repair or something along that lines. Tuna Toms is where i have sent my reels. They are online, you will have to mail it to them. Capt Rich. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    There is no tourney in Oz this weekend. Other than the 3 county slam. My morning trip was cut short and we ended 7-15. Had just found a good pod of fish when we had to pull lines. They are spread out. I had spoons, flies, and meat go. 250,300 coppers, 180-240 divers. Speed was everything. Worked anywhere from 95-210!! Capt Rich.

    Not sure what slow is.... ran 2 trips Saturday and Sunday, had 15- 20 bites each day. Kings, steelies and lakers. All spoon bite for us, surface down to 75’. Short cores, full cores, short coppers, divers to 220, riggers 25-75’. Clients were very happy!!!! Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Tie it into your main steering and steer with rudder and motor. I have twin inboards and have my t25 plumbed into my hydraulic steering. Works great!!! Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Was out Saturday and Sunday and we had a lot of fun!!! Brown trout fishing was a little slow, but the Kings were there and willing to play!!! 65-100’ Saturday was west of chute and Sunday I was straight out to a little east. Riggers set 35-55’, stingrays in Lances 2 face, carbon 14, grn glow alewive Uv, frost bite, dirty broom stick Uv, marvs big fatty pulling an ATOMMIK 041, and a prototype flasher we are testing pulling an ATOMMIK meat rig on a 200’ copper also went. We marked a lot of fish, but I believe the bait is right to the bottom due to the cold water still. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have owned 2 Controllking and love them. I had one on my Thompson and also have one on my Aquasport. I have replaced 1 Servo on each unit, but the hours i have put on my kickers is over 1k on each unit. I am a rep for this company, let me know if there is any questions you may have. They are a great company to work with and have great customer service. Capt Rich Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
