Awesome, thanks! We have an old (bad) video on this that will be replaced sometime this year, but for now this will give you the basic guidance you need to respool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKvEaHSAnt6Dqq8&t

@@DaggerfishGear do you think a 6lb or 4lb test would be good since it seems like this is mostly for smaller fish? Especially for fly fishing?

@@rollingtrolling2991 Yes 6lb or 4lb will work well, though we chose 8lb as standard becasue we felt it was the most versatile option. My recommendation would be to start by tying a lighter weight line on as a leader, which will keep you from needing to respool the whole reel. Regardless, you'll need a bit of weight on the line to cast it (see our fly fising video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2HZqnx4lK6HrKc). Hope this helps!

Thanks! We don't make a Cuban yoyo (yet) but the Toss and the Whip casts demonstrated here should work with a yoyo style reel.

It's less of a problem than is is on mechanical reels. Line is fed straight onto the reel from the line hand, and with no mechanical gearing line twisting is significantly reduced. If line does get twisted, it can usually be straightened out by gently running it through pinched fingers

Never hurt my hands with my daggerfish. The problem I face is sound of my hand rubbing against wet line. Squeaks louder than my ex boyfriend. I know it’s causing problems because I’ve watched the small fish flee when it happens, vs when it doesn’t. Light Gloves prevent this (and help keep a hold of fish when I work the hook out) but if you ware something that has pads on the outside, it will snag on your gloves from time to time. The only other problem I have with a the hand reel is that it gets tangled easily and badly. Might just be me being inexperienced; but I spend more time having to redo my tackle than fishing some days. I have stopped trying to untangle, even if I know I could untangle it.

My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful

Yes, in most areas, but regulations on hand line fishing vary state to state and region to region. We recommend all of our customers fish with a license at all times.

Thanks for your encouragement and support! It really means a lot to hear from you

Thansk! Check 3 Rivers Outdoor Co in Regent Sq. If they don't have any you can get them at daggerfishgear.com and they should arrive within a couple days.

Better to try off of coastal rocks, piers and jetties. I've never been able to cast far enough off of a beach - mind you my local beach is fairly flat anyway so I tend to fish with a Cuban Yo-yo reel off of a kayak.

Hi Rebecca - I'm using a standard size mens belt as a chest strap. All of our leather accessories will fit on belts up to 1.5" wide. At some point in the future we may release a cusotm crossbody strap for our accessories, but in the meantime any belt should work. Thanks!

Thank you for answering my question with your question.

Thanks very much! Hope you give it a try

This I will bring with me when I go long distance hiking as it is very lightweight.

The 3/16 oz size are the ones included in our Streamer Kits. Also, for reference, the storage area in the handle is 7/8" diameter by ~2.75" long, so anything smaller than that should fit as well

Thanks! Glad to hear it's helpful. Hope you enjoy the other videos in this series too!

@Daggerfish Gear actually checking out some of the videos right now.

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much! Glad you've had so much success with our reels 👍
