Hi, I take it you used a non waited float, as you stated your float was flat??
@fishingbitesandbanter29312 күн бұрын
Yes I did. It was as a demo with the easiest floats to tell how your plumbing
@huppekees14 күн бұрын
nice peace of plastic, but i cut it with hand as easy and with more different sizes in almost the same time... even twice the time is no big problem.. i don't have to clean the plastic, just a plate, so that safes time... but its handy... i rather do it by hand, as easy also. Boiling water ad with garlic in it, give an extra flavor and also retracts fat from the meat. When jou just cut and use a fish liquid or amino liquid directly on the meat for more than 12 hours, you don't need boiling water.... on a week session its more easy.... nice video by the way.

Which spool would you recommend? And do you fill the spool right up with line. Or do you stop slightly short to reduce the risk of the line jumping down the back of the spool?
