Has any one feedback in using for fishing? Crimping single and double barrel crimps of ratings up to 300 lb. test monofilament and 49 strand cable?

I have found this device very hard to use. I end up needing to put one handle on the ground and push with all my weight on the other. I then got a knipex bolt cutter that does the job with much less effort. I still use this one but it is a pain in the neck so I avoid using it.

It will work great on the steel cable I have never tried it on monofilament line i would be worried about the barrel nicking the mono line during crimping just my thought

I think you would be ok with it. I have never used one for walleye but I have never had any problems with it for bass fishing and I fish them a lot. Only problem I ever had was a bad handle and I just replaced it and was an easy fix. The drag is good and casts real smooth. I would use them for steelhead fishing in the rivers and think it would hold up just fine. I have fished the Black Max for northern largemouth bass in the state of Oregon for bass as big as 9lbs and use them in bass tournaments and again have had no problems other then one of my reels had a loose grip on the handle and I just replaced the handle for an easy fix. I hope this helps you out, good luck! I think you would be ok with it. I have never used one for walleye but I have never had any problems with it for bass fishing and I fish them a lot.

I use the 600LC with braid trolling for bass with no problems so far. Set your drag right since there is very little stretch. I have a ten foot mono shock leader.On the 800 LC I use stainless wire and have caught plenty of bass and blues with no problemsGood luck

Like Capt Billy I use mine on downriggers for offshore king salmon and inland lake trout and kamloop fishing. 3 to 35+lb fish with up to 11" flashers and 4-6" spoons, hoochies and bait rigs work good. Not sure this is the best rod for smaller fish though.

the LMR cables are 50ft. the connectors are larger diameter so if you are fishing it through a hole you need to drill a hole twice as big. If i were to do it again i would crimp it by hand

I use the Cedros 40clf on mine. I have put a 50 on it too. The 40 manages good sized Redfish, Stripers up to 39" and small Mahi Mahi, Lesser Amberjacks, Bonito, Albacore and Yellow Tail. I use food braid and dampen that with flurocarbon leader. Drag is the issue and line test that will not over stress the rods test weight. I believe you will be happy with the combinations.

Yes, and today 4-13-14 I caught about a 4 lb. catfish, so much fun with such a small pole, I also put micro reels with 12 lb. test the very fine line. I bought 2 of them, the spinning rod is my favorite. Throw it in a backpack and go for it.

Unless you are using light line they will work great. I use between 14 and 17# test lines and fish offshore at depths to 150ft. Have landed 40" Lep. Sharks, as well as 25 and 30 # Bat Rays. I love the action of the rod.

You will need an heavy duty one. Its big and damn expansive. http://www.amazon.com/Hi-Seas-Heavy-Swaging-Millimeter-Crimps/dp/B000EYU8CC/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1404835056&sr=8-11&keywords=fishing+crimping+tool

1,000 foot cable pre-terminated would be a useless cable, since the limitation is 300'. You will definitely want to purchase crimpers and mod plugs. If you're newer to terminations, I would suggested the EZ RJ45 stuff. Much easier and quicker.

I am using monofilament 50 lb line and is working very well. You can go with less powerful line if you're fishing for smaller fishes.

Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed? I bought 1" nylon webbing (1/2the price of slings) 2x 10 ft and used the hammocks included 550 for cordage. The webbing is super strong has a larger mass and less abrasive to the hammock. Thread in place of the 550 and when tearing down camp the webbing can be used for lashing and other as needed. Webbing I got is rated at 1k and is (with propper training) a very good self made rescue rappell harness or lanyard for gear in floating water crossings. Not bad multi use. Add two climbing rated carabiners and you have a system to hang hammock and many other uses. Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed?

I have been using braided line and it works well. However, I have been just back into fishing for a little over a year so it might help to talk to someone else. I like the reel, though, and would recommend it whole-heartedly!

I own several Okumas and have owned others in the past. They are excellent performers. The only ones that have failed me are those that escaped over the side of the boat when I was not paying attention. I use 40s and 50s for trolling and coastal fishing. I use 20s and 30s for throwing lures for bass. I think that the 30 will do the job for you without wearing you out. I use 8 lb. mono on my 30s and have had no issues. Great reel.

Hey Stingyjack! regarding being able to strip RG6 coaxial cable with this crimper the answer is "No!" thanks and good luck with your project.

I have the same problem with similar connectors on Lowe's RCA-brand outdoor RG-6Q cable. Those cables are a little thicker than other outdoor cables. I went through about 10 compression connectors before coming here to Amazon to look for ones that might fit better. I'll also check out the YouTube videos, as suggested, even though I've not had problems crimping regular RG-6 cable before.
