Now we can drop the dredges back 100 feet or more if we need to and still be able to clear them quickly.” By fishing the dredges in clear water, it’s easier to spot a marauding marlin or sail and still be able to rip the dredge out of the way to initiate the bait-and-switch process. There are times when we want to fish the entire spread farther back, and the new reels have the speed to let us do that.
“In the past, the slow rate of retrieve meant that we couldn’t fish the dredges too far back - we just couldn’t get them in fast enough. “We have switched back to a direct connection to take advantage of the faster retrieval speed.” Cofer also mentioned distance as another factor in the switch.
“These reels are so powerful that we no longer need to use a pulley system,” he says.
Ken Cofer, owner of the Quepos, Costa Rica-based charter boat Tranquilo, has been thoroughly impressed with the new high-speed Lindgren Pitman SV-2400 dredge reels.
