Jim's "anchor" reel is better than my best fishing reel!

Nice set up Jim. I may have to ditch my anchor and copy your set up. I am not a huge LJ fisher (I am not a morning person at all) and most of my fishing is during lobster season. I carry an anchor with me while I am hooping because if I want to take a break or shoot the breeze with another yakker while we are waiting to pull another set.
I always check my FF to see what the bottom looks like before I drop it, but I have had a time or two where it hung up and it took me a bit to free it. Just my .02! I am gonna try making that smaller rig like Jim's. Any weight off my yak while I am hooping is a good idea!

LOL... Actually it's pretty cheezy: an old Kencor levelwind. You can get these reels for about ten bucks on ebay. The good part is they are all stainless so they have zero corrosion issues, and have strong gears, but the sideplate plastic is brittle, and the drag is tiny and actually made with a leather drag washer. They work well for what I use them for, but I wouldn't want to fish them for anything other then maybe rockfish. Jim |
