Nice video! Kayaking looks fun.
Great video !!
Man, that got the blood pumping. I am so addicted, it’s ridiculous. Damn fish disappeared for a bit. What type of smooth braided line do you suggest. Currently using 7’2” Terrez with Stella 5000 with power pro slick 20 lb. it doesn’t seem to get the cast that I want. Is there a better braid out there
try a longer rod but also power pro super slick braid is good
Power Pro Slick is a great option. You might want to try a longer, lighter rod for the albies.
is the rod u use one or two piece ?
POWER PRO is complete -. Use Daiwa J BRAID 8. youll thank me later
try a longer rod but also power pro super slick braid is good
IS THE ROD YOU USE ONE OR TWO PIECE ??? YOU REALLY LAID OUT A NICE VIDEO ON THESE TUNA , ENJOYED THE CALMNESS OF THIS VIDEO WITHOUT THE DRUG ADDIC MUSIC IN THE BACK GROUND. THANKS
