Amazon 2011 Part 2 : Venche Uma, No Chika
...What I didn't realize after that first day was, this time around, the arrangement with the guides had changed. Last year, we were assigned to a guide with whom we stayed for the entire week. This year, to round out each parties' experience, we rotated guides each day. So while having the opportunity to build a rapport with our guide last year was great, the variety of fishing different types of water and experience different styles each day with different guides and personalities was fantastic!

Great article Cal, I don't think I have ever read any faster. The one that got away, is always a tough pill to swallow, but two 17lbers is nothing to cry about. Those pictures of the fish in action are breath taking. Did anyone hook into a Tigerfish while you guys were down there?
Once again, great job on the article, and keep those reviews coming!

Think he meant the Payara aka Vampire Fish.
Re: Amazon 2011 Part 2 : Venche Uma, No Chika
Hi Cal - I enjoyed the 2 part series. Any chance you will be reviewing the EXO/Recon 715c combo any time soon? I also own that combo but have not fished it yet. Would be interested in your experience.

You are correct. Saw those caught down in central america on some cable show. Thanks!Pin wrote:Think he meant the Payara aka Vampire Fish.

Hi Cal,
I see under one of the pictures the following:
but my fellows suggested that it's spool is too shallow for 80lb line.
Now I see You use 70 lb, so could You advise how much line You could get on the Z's spool,
and what diameter is Daiwa Samurai at 70 lb (better if compared with 80lb PowerPro 8 strain)
Thanks & cheers

Some time ago I considered Daiwa's Z200 for classic jerbaits for Northern Pike,Megabass F6-68X4 Cover Hacking matched with a Daiwa Z200HL spooled with 70lb Daiwa Samurai Braid - Caribe Lures jig
but my fellows suggested that it's spool is too shallow for 80lb line.
Now I see You use 70 lb, so could You advise how much line You could get on the Z's spool,
