New Catfish Reels This Year

Ойын-сауық

In this catfish fishing video I am fishing for catfish during the day using some new baitcasting reels from Ancient Mariner. I have used Ancient Mariner reels for several years, and recently made them my primary reels on the boat when fishing for catfish. The Ancient Mariner baitcasting reels work well for my style of fishing, and are the right size for the Ande monofilament fishing line that run.

    Quick question. Are these reels true 'level-wind' reels, or does the line guide on the reel only move when you are reeling in? If it only travels left to right on the retrieve, as opposed to on the retrieve, and cast, I would want to know before purchasing one of these reels. Thanks for what you do. Keeps me involved in the sport of fishing. 'It's a sport second to none'.

    It was difficult yesterday in Wylie only one 10lb NoB it was on fire begining of August. Just going to get better turning into the fall bite. Those Wylie flatheads are strange try for em and get skunked or a bunch of blues. Trolling for blues you get a flathead. Hope to see you out on the water sometime soon again. Good luck

    Hey Dieter. This may sound crazy, but I watched a video earlier today where a guy used PAM cooking spray to catch fish. His video was a 'scientific' video. I was impressed. I don't know if the results were real, or not. Would you be willing to test that theory in the same way you tested the chicken theory? It would be really cool if you can reproduce his results. He caught many more fish on Pam cooking spray, as opposed to clean bait. I think it would be a fun test. His channel is 'KATFISH KARMA'. I found it very interesting. Maybe you will, also.
