DZ:
Good call, Mr Z as it was a calm, flat night on the cusp of the New. and i did notice the entry point/slack of the line moving the surface, as you mentioned. didn't think much of it, at the time.
Thank you very much for your excellent suggestions and the
sharing of your vast experience. it's gentlemen like you that have proferred this sport to its current levels of interest and keep hungries
like me coming back for more........................especially when given
such succinct advice!!! Thanks, tons!
Saltheart and Sea Dangles:
Yes and Yes, i am using a spinning reel (PENN 750ssm) and that is why i think i went with the swivel in the first place, but neglected to
use the spros i had tucked away in my leader wallet and went, erroneously i'd say, with sum mombo cheapie swivels that were giant
compared to the rest of my rigging. i downsized the hook to a mustad 5/0 and that was mistake #2............
first night out eeling for the year, and i should've just stayed with what worked last year ~~like you guys do~~ 6/0 or a 7/0 snelled Gammi Octopus, then 4'- 6' of shock, then the 130# spro, palomar to the main......................
MUCH APPRECIATED GENTS!
