Thread: Coming soon to an octi near you...

Dang at the stuff people come up with. This guy will probably make a fortune off of this concept. When I was seven years old I had a zebco 33 and an old Abu Garcia cardinal and thought it couldn't get any better. My how things have changed. LOL

Wow. Someone had a major epiphany - whether it actually works or not.

Looks very interesting.

This could really benefit braided lines which twist into a threaded screw soon as you use it.

Question is, how will it affect wind knots?

The Rubik cube of fishing reels .
Would not mind having one to add to the collection .

Great idea...I doubt it will significantly improve line performance though...he assumes twist per cast is a constant but it varies based on loading...

Beyond that it relies on the operator to alternate motor behavior instead of repetition of the same action which is contrary to human nature...

And it relies on me remembering which side I cast from last time...yeah that's not what I want to think about when fishing...

I think they could probably automate the alternation mechanically so that the operator performed only one repetitive motion...but still doubt that performance improvement would be significant...

Anybody else notice loose line loops about half way into the video? I can make that happen without this invention!

I can't get past imaging what a jack crevelle would do to that ;-) LOL

I didn't see a level wind for the line.
That could either be some serious finger cramps or messy line lay.

Ain't no way I'm going to burden myself with trying to remember whether my last cast was to the right or left.

I drag my lines from my boat to get the twist out. What I would like is a way to control the twirl of a Clark Spoon to get the twist out that those generate. Yes, I always use a swivel, but there is only so much they do. Maybe i just need to learn how to tune my Clark Spoons.
