What's up! My name's Eric. I'm a transplanted New Jerseyan enjoying some fun in the sun in South Florida. While I love fishing, I've developed a passion for helping people catch some of the bucket list species I'm fortunate enough to have in my backyard. The water brings tranquility, rehabilitation, peace, and happiness to me, and I enjoy sharing it with others. Teaching people how to improve their angling skills, sharing my knowledge of fishing, and seeing the joy and excitement of people becoming more successful on the water is extremely rewarding for me as a full time fishing guide.

While I do enjoy wetting a line, you'll also find me getting my hands dirty and wrenching on my boat, and vehicle. I can also be spotted in the kitchen whipping up some tasty meals, cuz I love to eat! I also love to explore, and enjoy destination Planet Earth. I share all these things on my channel, and I'm appreciative of everyone who joins me.

    I have been fishing for most of my life but now, at 57, I am learning how to fish. LOL! Not sure if they have made any changes to this in the 6 years since you posted this but I received mine on Saturday along with their Viper X 2000 spinning reel plus a 150 yard spool of 20lbs Power Pro V2. I gave up on those bushing right out of the gate. Since I have never spooled a reel before, this was a dream. Now I just need to get to some water.

    S-o-o-o glad I watched this vid. Was already thinking $40-50,000 for a truk when my Nissan Rogue, rated for 1500 lbs. will do the job. Thanx Eric, very thorough vid. I am now a subscriber!

    You could run a flat piece of aluminum all the way across the front plate about 4 inches wide. Then you culd mount a trolling motor as well.

    People, only watch this if you want to know what NOT to do. You're sprays should overlap. even from the initial primer coat he is leaving massive gaps & has to go back over it to get proper coverage. And then Uses acetone (paint remover) to clean after each coat. His final finish is the ultimate example of a rubbish job, The entire cowl was "orange peeled" when he put the cowl on the motor just before he put the decals on. It should have been polish smooth before he ever put the clear coat on. Watch any other video but this one!

    I will be ecstatic if I can get the results you did. I will be taking this project on later in the year. Right now I'm to wrapped up in learning how to repair gelcoat 😂. Already enrolled in the school of You tube for DYI boat engine repair and restoration 😅. I actually enjoy working on my boat so it doesn't bother me to learn and apply my new skills. When you finally get it right there's no better feeling. I can't thank guys like you enough for sharing your skills and teaching others like myself who really want to learn. I can't have a boat if I can't do the work. I'm an average person making an average wage trying to do a rich mans hobby 😂. You know what though I'm pulling it off. If you take your time and learn what to look for before you buy a boat you can find one that isn't ridiculously expensive and just needs some love. You have to want it! You have to love learning and doing your own work. If you do it's not break out another thousand it's break out a couple hundred and get ready to put in time and some elbow grease. Be ready to make mistakes and do it again sometimes to. My boat has come a long way and it's really starting to look awesome. I love knowing she's mine and I brought her back to beautiful with my own two hands and few ulcers😅.

    I think you should have spooled the spinning reel with a mono backing instead of using 500 yards of expensive braid. That would still leave enough braid that you would never see the mono. In addition, attaching braid directly to the spool leaves too much chance for the braid to spin on the spool, even after filling the reel. But then again, the main purpose of the video was to trail the spooling device, which you accomplished.

  • @growleym504
    @growleym504Ай бұрын

    I am right handed but I very much prefer the handle on the LEFT side so I can cast with the RIGHT hand, and immediately start reeling if necessary. Maybe this is because I fish the majority of the time with a spinning reel or fly rod or cane pole or tenkara pole. But for a right hander, cast with the right hand. What now will the left hand do? It should do all the reeling. Right hand can apply thumb pressure to the spool if a bit of extra drag is needed. I always fish with a very light drag and use my thumb as needed, the RIGHT thumb, because I am holding the rod and palmint the reel with my RIGHT hand. Left hand does the cranking. Fine motor skills are not needed for cranking the handle. Righties, try it with left hand retrieve for a week and you will be hooked.
