Worth it? $15 Fishing Reel POWER KNOB Upgrade!
We have put our new fishing reel power knob upgrade on our Shimano fishing reels. It was an easy installation to do! A 15$ upgrade seems to be pretty affordable but how well do they work? Let’s test these knobs out! We are here in Florida fishing using live shrimp as bait on a float rig. This particular fishing rig can work anywhere in the world!
Here is a link to the Deeper I am using: bit.ly/2N2cM2O

and a link to the power knob: amzn.to/2YmWhyW
The Deeper sonar is a great tool for shore fishermen who want to know what's under the water at their favorite fishing spot. I could have spent a long time guessing where the channels were, but instead, I used Lakebook and made a fishing map that told me exactly how deep the pockets were so I could immediately set the depth of my float fishing rig and catch fish. It took me 10 minutes and I created a map that I can refer back to on the desktop site forever. It's really cool.

Im not so sure about the shrimp with the shells on, at first I thought you were messing with us but when Erin didn't hate it i figured you were serious. I'll have to try it though. Thanks for the video.
Hell yeah they’re worth it!!!!! I purchased them for all of my fishing reels!! I even purchased those for my 2000/ 2500/ 3000 size reels. I absolutely love them and recommend them to anyone! Definitely worth the $15!!!!

Here in El Salvador, we eat shrimps whole(legs, shells, and tails). However, we do clean the dorsal abdominal vessels and the rectus(for healthy issues), which is located in the upper side of the shrimp abdomen under the shell.
Fat free, but soaked in butter😂😂
I have developed a good relationship with Gomexus in China. Have put about ten of these knobs on vintage surf spinning reels and they have all performed flawlessly. On their EBay site they often put some knobs up for auction. You can often get their knobs for less than $10. As a collector I try to keep the original handle, find another one and put the knob on the spare handle. This maintains the value of the vintage reel by keeping it original but makes fishing with it so much better with the power knob. I really recommend Gomexus Power knobs. Most have double stainless steel ball bearings and make a very usable and attractive upgrade to a vintage spinning reel. As a senior adult with arthritic hands these knobs make fishing much more enjoyable! By the way, I hate eating shrimp in the shell! That is really strange.

im a big fan of the power knobs! Ive had these knobs on our reels for over a year and they are still great!
Never had shrimp fried in garlic butter and eaten with the shells on. Gotta try that! Speckled trout has to be kept cold. It starts to deteriorate the minute it dies if it is not kept at 32 deg. OK to bleed it, but it must be immediately iced and kept that way until it is ready to cook or it will not be at its best. Agree pompano is the best eating fish of them all, but specks are close when they are handled properly.
Bro! specs should be made as ceviche, or just plain breaded and fried. For ceviche: fillet, then dice into small cubes and cover with fresh lime juice for an hour or two. Strain it, then make a pico (onion, tomato, cilantro, lime, jalapeño or serrano) mix and enjoy with fresh tostadas. Best way to enjoy Speckled trout. Provecho!
Paula Dean would be proud of this butter
Hahahaha ...have YOU had tarantula legs before?? I really enjoyed this video guys, thanks. Now to try a new reel handle and fried shrimp with the shell on.
I routinely eat shrimp tails. Haven't sampled the legs and shells. Suppose it would much the same. I would devein first. Loved seeing more Erin.

As soon as she said “stringy” I just thought of how many worms were in that trout they didn’t even see cause he didn’t fillet it😂😂😂 especially with that slight undercook☠️☠️
You guys are awesome! I really enjoyed watching you all. 😁
You should try the simple and traditional Chinese way to cook the fish, which is steam it with scallion and seafood soy sauce.
Heck yeah!!! That’s the best way to eat shrimp. But I need rice in my diet.
The gomexus power knobs are absolutely worth it!! You just need to get the correct size for your reel!!

They are worth it. Make sure you check if it fits your model reel first though.
I’ll eat shrimp like that too but my husband is super grossed out 😂 By the way, salt brining the trout might have been what dried it out a bit and gave it chewy/stringy consistency. Anytime I’ve eaten speckled trout, it’s been very tender, almost like a scallop consistency. Maybe try it again but instead of brining it, bleed it ASAP, gut it, then put it on ice and keep it COLD until cooking. Quick 15 minute soak in milk before cooking.

Senko Skipper hmm maybe!! My favorite way to eat trout (including rainbow) is butterflied then just lightly dredged in flour, and pan fried in butter. 😛😛😛
Yup shrimp is meant to be eaten with shell especially when is crispy I love the shrimp shell yum!!!!
Can you change it back to the original knob when you already changed it to another one???
Or wait for it....wait for it find, the depth charts on your body of water online 🙂👍
Love how those power knobs look & that's my favorite way to eat shrimp

Hola compañero ...cual es la medida del pomo stradic 4000FJ ....38mm ? 41MM'? 45MM? Gracias
gomexus 38mm? 41mm? 45mm? for stradic 4000FJ colour white....Thanks
For keeping fish I am a only catch and release unless I'm on a boat but otherwise I only eat if he won't survive after I've tried to revive him and I use barbless hooks cuz it's more of a challenge it's okay for all laws and it's safer for the fish it's easier for the fish to get off the hook and there's less lip ripping
What size did you put on the stradic they have 35 38 and 41mm available
I’m a huge fan of your work all the way from the philippines. Too bad i cant be fishing for a while since my rod broke.
I am a big fan of upgraded handles all my ambassadors have power handles
That’s how I eat em! Crunch, the taste, good!
Great fishing!! Thanks for the lovely cooking!
Where in JAX is this? Been fishing at the marina by Jacksonville beach pier
10:38 "Have YOU had tarantula legs before?" "...no..." *YES*
what size knobs did ya'll get? The link is dead. Thinking about getting either the 41mm, or the 38mm. Great channel btw!
Another great tip guys thanks again 👍🏼👍🏼
Where can you order the power knob
What size did you get? 38mm 45mm 47mm?
Always eat with the shell on but back to the subject,.. what size knob do you have on your reel? I have a stradic ci4 4000 that I'd like to upgrade.
Please could you test one of the wish rod , reel, lure and line combos .
Wow make me hungry 😋. By the way, where did you buy your hoodies guys? I’d like it ❤️. Thanks for sharing all your videos I really enjoyed watching it. Good luck out there and god bless both of you guys thanks 🙏. 08.06.2020
Is the one reel an FJ 4000??
I'd love to see a yellowtail fishing guide video if you were inclined to make one, I've been fishing in California for a year now and still haven't caught one but I've caught so many whitefish it's boring lol mainly jigging with Tady irons and drop rigging with cut squid. Recently started calico bass fishing and that's been a lot more successful for me. Also, are you sponsored by Kastking?
future tip when cooking fish like that, scrape out the blood line that runs along the spine, you dont really want that flavor in the fish.
What bait to use in saltwater river? . i have been trying live shrimp but got nothing . Please tell if you have any video for salwater river fishing.
That's a cool upgrade

Salt or brine the fish just before cooking it...if you salt anything seafood for too much time it removes the moisture of the meat which will dry it out.

KETOOOOOO
How much is the deeper?
How do you put that bobber on
Fishing is very similar to playing poker. You won't have good luck every time you fish but you do catch fish enough every now and then to keep you coming back. Secondly, the more you fish (or play poker) the better you get.
Do catch & cook video :)

Soak it in milk like 3 times before you cook it, that will take away the gamier taste (super fishy taste) & fish that is high in mercury are the super high fishy tasting fish 🐟

Lol, I do that when I’m too lazy to de-shell shrimp which is most times now.
Which deeper unit are you using?
im so glad i managed to click on ur video and see you fish where i live
You should tell us it's a catch and cook. Power knob is not really am appeasing or interesting topic to watch. Glad I did though...I watch mostly all of your videos.
Love the video thanks guys go Erin you guys should video tape when you guys cook the fish and how you session the fish great information nice to see more of Erin
Lmfao panko crusted shrimp can eat everything that's how we do it no waist
