Last year it was the Do-Jigger spoon by Bay De Noc. Its silver with a glow stripe on one edge, with a red flipper. (cant find one this color online, discontinued already?)Havent caught a thing on it yet in 11 months. Looks cool though....
Those are walleye killers.
Frabil Straight Line 101XLAA buddy got one the same time I did. The spool handle broke off on BOTH within two weeks! I'll be boxing mine and sending it back to Frabil, they can keep it.It's not that I'm hard on reels, or new to this style. I've got two clam spoolers, a crappie hunter(way too small), Pflueger Medalist fly reel, Cabelas plastic fly reel(model unknown, two Cabelas wind river fly reels. Anyways, I've got a several, this is the only one that couldn't stand up to normal use. Also, the drag is absolute crap. When you pull line out, it has a real rough feeling to it, and it just doesn't loosen up enough. As stated, I've had many fly reels, and this one is particularly poor quality.
I would have to say Mr Heater Big Buddy.
Clam light fan combo.That will be my last Clam purchase.
I followed the advice of someone else on this site and added a split washer between the drag wheel and the reel handle. When you tighten the reel handle back on do not crank it down tight, you wat the ssplit washer to be giving resistance but not fully closed. This will give you room to tighten and loosen the drag and the two will no longer lock up on each other changing your drag when you don't want it to. It is a 1-2c fix, i don't understand why they didn't add one to start.
Well no walleye in Maine so maybe that explains why I havent caught anything on it yet. LOL
How did that work for you?
