Nice Job Sir! Question - I noticed the pocket holes - was that just to re-enforce the rails? And lastly, did you use furniture grade pine?
@DanielGuillette10 күн бұрын
I used the pocket holes to hold the shutter together. If I did it again I’d mortise and tennon or use dowels to joint them. I used basswood. Ordered it through rocker.

@@laketogulffishing I love how easy it is to control the braking system and it’s a solid ounce less than my old reel. The drag however I’m not used to, it’s a bit more stronger than my concept Z’s…lost a few fish in the process figuring the drag out but i think I got it now. Overall I’m happy, a huge upgrade over my old reels.

I've tied a little nylon/small rope on my boga grip so when i hold fish up the rope has marks 20/30 inches so on instead of marking your rod or wading back to the boat to measure it ❤TX

@@Jay-v1y6z that’s a good idea. I usually use my rod to measure but that can be inaccurate. A wade with a board boat I broke again that was attached to my net.

@@hectorcoria3650 if you time your trip to wade when a front sizzles out, look in Rivera, TX. A general search in the area and you can find a few public piers and boat launches you can wade by them.

You could learn how to ‘shave’ the hide thinner. Thin the hide towards the neck and spine where it’s thinner. Also sanding it down as shown can thin it a bit. But all I know is to make it soft you need to put the time in working it.
