Thanks, it is a great feeling indeed. The house luckily has a large basement, which is essential for every sportsfisherman.

That's great, thanks for the picture and the info written in several comments! I want to get out there and try the 103, the "only" thing holding me back is that we recently bought a house that needs some tlc, hence no time for fishing just yet.

Thanks for the ABU reference, that gave a better perspective on the size of the Lunas. :big grin: I guess I'll have to rig a linecounter on my rod and try to spool the new braid on the Luna 103 to see how much it can hold. As for the weight of the lures used, I'm still not sure what to think.. norma...

There used to be a long post about snaps. These Owner/Cultiva cross lock snaps were found to be the best

Thanks!

Took a look at the Berkley cross-locks on eBay now; they look very simular to some which I've contacted the seller about, but not gotten a reply. Sadly no shipping to Norway from the seller found with the Berkley items, which is a pity since they are at a good price. Didn't find anything on the in-f...

Tried some slow jigging for spring pike today (no result), and after taking a look at the cross lock snaps I was using, I saw that I need something better for big fish. I'm interested in suggestions on strong cross lock snaps that won't open under pressure. What size is ok to use for pike jigging, a...
