  1. Grew up in Erie, miss the fall-spring salmon and steelhead fishing. Thanks for the memories.
  2. Check out my friends Gary and Kaspar’s site. They have a good book and are guides as well. California surf fishing. remove link if not allowed. https://www.californiasurffishing.net
  3. We have an annual one here in SoCal. Participation has dropped off quite a bit over the years with the closure of our local surf fishing forum. It mostly centers around San Diego, Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
  4. I’m actually more interested in the California species ie California Halibut, Calico bass, Barred Sand Bass, White Sea Bass, and the misc surf perch and Croaker species. Also the surf sharks would be nice, Leopard, soupfin and sevengill sharks. This would open up most of the California surf fishery.
  5. Sounded good, Unfortunately, useless for west coast anglers as it’s only has east coast species.
  6. I believe it’s the 3500/4500 that share the same body with only the rotor and spool being different.
  7. That will make you real popular at the beach if you add a strap and use it as a head lamp.
  8. Inserting a nail style weight into a zman can be tricky. I have found that carefully using a lighter to heat a wire (think thin like a small paper clip)will easily melt a very thin hole in the elaztech. This easily allows for a perfectly centered channel to insert the weight.
  9. Believe that’s normally the color pearl in Krystal flash as previously mentioned.
  10. Mustad Grip-pin weighted hooks work well with zman baits as well.
  11. VR50 = 37 IPT VR75 = 39 IPT
  12. The Penn slammer has a removable trip ramp underneath the rotor. This is the best way to convert to a manual bail on that model. I don’t see that option on the clash schematic. If you ask in the Penn forum, they can usually give you the part # to remove from the autotrip assembly. Should be reasonably easy to reverse and restore autotrip capability.
  13. Double barrels get crimped the same way single ovals do in the circles, the points are not used to crimp anything if you are using it correctly. Double barrels are generally best used with steel leaders vs the aluminum ovals that are for mono crimping.
  14. That type of crimping tool is designed for double barrel / oval crimps, not for single barrel crimps.
  15. Can you post a picture, trying to visualize.
