yep, me too, have been trying to fish a cippulazza for ages....

cippullazz are found on rocky bottoms from 10-150 mt i normaly target areas which are at about 50-60 mts deep mainly under the cliffs or out by the outer edges of the reefs
Good luck guys

Deepsea can you tell me if the display monitor is in English or in Japanese. As I was thinking of buying of buying one but the fact that it might be in Japanese kind of puts me off.Not the buttons as that does not bother me its the display window that I am bothered about.

shanook if you are thinking of buying an eletric reel search on the net for the kristal fishing xl410. i people who use and i think for their price are realy good. you can use it also as a downrigger. they take more line than the other eletric reels and you can take an extra spool so that if your line is cut you just change the spool. the agent in malta is gaetano caruana in zebbug the shop that sells agriculture things. there is a shop also in catania just a few metres away from the port and some peolpe told me that its about lm70 more cheaper than in malta

hi twoutes long time no see. Know anything about miyax4 and daiwa tanacom 1000

busumark · February 11, 2008, 20:00:45 CET

before you buy a reel check the line capacity. it has to be at least to take 1000m of 50kg braided line. i spoke with a person who goes deep sea fishing and also charters a boat for deep sea fishing he has the miya epochx4 he told me that its not heavy duty. the epoch x4 and the tanacom 1000 dont take that much line. the ryobi are good and even daiwa and the miya have good models but those that are good are very expensive

10x busumark. Miya x4 and Daiwa 1000 takes 1100m of 50lb line braid. 900m of 80lb braid. I suppose for now it will have to do.I give a try and see what results i get. If I like then I upgrade if not at least I wouldnt spen that much. Will keep you guys posted but later on as my boat is on the hard, so are all my buddies boats. I think with 40Kg drag it cant be that bad. the only thing I can say is 'provare per credere'.

On the Miya Epoch X-4 (CX4) can put a max of 44lbs of drag and spool 350yards of 50lbs mono. Using that as a reference and the line calculator at http://www.accuratefishing.com/support/linecal.php? you could get 949 yards of 80lbs Spectra Braid which should be more than enough to start off with. You'd only be able to get 567 yards of 150lbs Spectra on that reel.

The tanacom TB1000 shows 900 yards of 80lbs Spectra.

My question however is, why would you need 50kg line when bottom fishing? I mean thats basicaly a winch then not a reel. Never been bottom fishing, so curious

busumark · February 11, 2008, 20:59:30 CET

if you catch a fish and you have a 40kg line and breaks you will be sorry for life. i know that it will the exception but better safe than sorry. you can catch a big hanzir or muruna altough the most cathes are cipullaz and bazug and skorfon t'ghajnu. you can fish in depths up to 800m and if there is a bit of current you will need more line

Sounds totally awesome fishing in such depth! Tell me what do the commericial fishermen use? Do they use very thick line and use their winches to take it down. And then what's on the end of the rigging, multiple hooks with bait etc?

shanook · February 11, 2008, 21:52:52 CET

wow we got skip interested mmmmmmmmmmm deep fishing next season skip?

?

Buzumark if the fish finds cover in rooks then no matter what line u have it will either break or else u have to cut as you wont take it out. On the other hand if the line doesnt tangle with rocks than with a drag of 30kg u can play a big fish. I know that the quicker u bring a fish up the better in bottom fishing but i still think its fun with these small electric reels. There is no way that I can fish those depths with a hand reel. it takes 15/20 minutes with an electric reel to bring a 2kg weight imagine me reeling it in all the way.................... no way Hoze.
