Wanted Wanted Electric Reel

[ray koziatek]

Discovered a new way to fish in the keys but they are 600 to 700 ft down..it takes a pretty heavy weight and ya drift over humps so ya need to reel in and reset several times a hour ..sorta like reeling in 700ft copper 10 times a hour .. even a large spool 2 speed manual might work ....thanks..oh Snowy grouper.and tilefish are the targets..Good eating..............

Ray,

I may have a penn 130 dual speed for sale, if not I know I can part with a Okuma 50 shark reel. I've seen electric motors for the 130's for 300$ at bass pro in Orlando.

When I went to Panama they used what looked like a short boom downrigger and did this. It was loaded with a heavy braid line, large weight and bait. sent it to bottom. Once on bottom you would take some slack line and actually hold it your hand until you felt a bite then just powered up the reel. I asked about the setups and they told me they were nothing more than low geared DC motors with a clutch system. Maybe modify a old downrigger?
