  1. Hey everyone, 

    I recently just won a Alvey 40GDZ reel and am wondering what to spool it with. I'll be targeting ludrick with floats and bream off the rock and the beach in summer. I've been recommended Maxima Ultra Mono Line, but for ludrick i think mono sinks, while some braid does? I'm ruling out using float line as its too one dimensional compared the braid and mono.

    Thanks in advance!

    Id also question the Lowrance transducers.

    Ive got a Hook2 4 & is never worked over 10nts & yes I have it in the right spot on my hull & adjusted at the right angle

    Well its actually the only spot really.

    I had heard that a lot of people having trouble with the units which is why I suspect they were going so cheap not long ago!

    Friend of mine got a Hook5 for his boat, same deal.

     

    I hate to give negative feedback but when its warranted then yeh.

    I wouldn't be keen to buy a Lowrance again no matter the price!

    Ive Got a Hook 7 and it shows me water death at 23 knots. 

    Just making sure you put the sounder where the wash from your prop does not affect the readings when going at speed.
