I believe what your talking about is the gear shaft collar/roller clutch. All of the gear shaft assembly once you get past the bearing that sits on top of the collar should not get in the way of you removing the plate. If it is getting stuck there some corrosionX or something like that sprayed and soaked may loosen it up.

Back in the day there used to be a few more snakes. Here is a Joe's woodtail, probably the weirdest thing left in my collection. Got turned onto him from Dan S way back in the day.

IN!

In - nice gesture

Where did it break off?

I've fished mine with the foam from the yoga block sealed inside. I tried to roughly cut the shape and size as similar as I could to what he showed in the rigging video. It does float the bait and tracks correctly with the appropriate amount of nail weights distributed (I currently have the two cheek and rear vent nails I think). It is a pretty slow grind floater - any more than a creep and it starts to blow out a bit and the weight of floro line with also drag it down a bit on the end of a long cast with my current iteration but it works as I wanted. You'll have to obviously play around with the size of the float and the nail weighting but it can be done. Now what I really need is suggestions for what can be used for those pins he uses to keep the hooks held down...

lol still hanging on my wall - never gets thrown though

Haven't gotten around to it yet but was just gonna cut a chunk off a yoga block and see if that works. Anyone have some rough dimensions of that piece?

+2 sneaky pete, I think the makers talk about specifically using it in current for stripers

I love my XXH but its a bit on the stiff side for my taste if we're talking treble hooks.

its up now...

lol I remember the "SRG" from the TT forums
