CarbonX is a fresh/salt water reel. So even if the spool housing appears more open, the actual components are likely sealed much better than on the Diesel.

Why a 5 bearing reel when the lews is 7 bearing
@NathanBlankАй бұрын
Great question! When it comes to fishing reels, the quality of the bearings matters far more than the quantity. Additionally, I pay close attention to the handle size, frame material, and overall aesthetics-they all play a crucial role in choosing the perfect reel, which is why I would rather choose a diesel.

Think the 1000’s are big enough? Why not the big bore?
@NathanBlankАй бұрын
I don’t want anything bigger than a 1000 size reel. It’s just a personal preference, and I’ve had good experiences with the diesel already. Big bore reels are just too big for what I need.

Can this only be used on ice? Or can be used out of boat or land with extending rod without any ice?
@NathanBlankАй бұрын
I use mine on the boat all the time, you just have to remove a few parts on the pole and get a bracket that extends over the water and holds the pole.

I’m thinking of buying the mega bundle this week. Are you still liking it? Any regrets ? Would you have got livescope instead ?
@NathanBlankАй бұрын
I still love it, have no regrets, and would not go to a livescope. It is even more appealing to get the megalive bundle now since the price has dropped everywhere due to the new stuff coming out.

UPDATE: 3:36 was a humbling moment for me. When I brought the fish up, its eyes had already started to freeze-a clear sign that I should have released it immediately. That moment drove home an important lesson: if it’s too cold for you to fish without gloves, it’s far too cold to safely handle fish. Frozen eyes are permanent, leaving the fish blind and significantly reducing its chances of survival. Respect the conditions, and above all, respect the fish. My mistake is a reminder to all anglers: if it’s too cold for you, it’s absolutely too cold for the fish. Let’s be mindful stewards of the waters we love and the life they sustain.

@@brandonlewis5135 They have snacks like a gas station, and common household items, but not groceries, although they have a fridge with meat inside sometimes. They also have a pretty decent fishing selection. Its a big gas tank with a pump right next to the lodge, but not on the dock.

Is that a diesel heater you're running? Can you share any info about it?
@NathanBlank Жыл бұрын
Yup it is a diesel heater - it is amazing for running longevity wise, and it is so much easier to fill up - as opposed to going out of your way to get propane. I will say that you have to get used to the fact that it takes a bit longer to heat up the tent than a traditional propane heater. Thanks for the question!
