@mikeeslinger4879 the first yellow i actually did drop it into low for a few to gain some line as it was peeling it off and i couldn't gain anything. The second was mostly swimming to the boat and didn't feel the need. Thanks 🎣🐟
@@williamhartsell6390 yup, it was only recently that I started purchasing two speed reels…I’ve pulled on a lot of big fish and hundred plus pound tuna on single speed 4/0s. Switching to two speed sometimes feels like cheating, but it makes life easy now that I’m getting older, haha.
@@alexpham7178 30lb 300 meters, 40lb 240 meters of braid. That's off the box. Of course it varies from line to line especially if you run 4 stand vs 8 stand braid and the measurements aren't exact off the box either but it's a close estimate.
Nice! The Sea Watch has been a lucky boat for me.
Cool video and nice Yellow! Pro tip: if you’re gonna buy a two speed reel, you might as well use it, haha.

I have them and never use the button. And I've got fish up to 50lbs on 30lb. I'd only use it if the fish was being stubborn
@@williamhartsell6390 agreed... It's a rarity

what model rod and reel is that?
@@alexpham7178 that's my trusty Phenix Black Diamond 15-40lb paired with my, also trusty, Daiwa Saltiga LD15 2 speed 🎣🐟💪
@@pressure7seven how much line can you put on the saltiga?
