Your service was wonderful. Ordered my FISH WINCH® Wednesday morning and it arrived Friday noon, caught fish Sunday halibut opener. The last halibut weighs 40#, worked great. We were fishing in 600 ft water. Can't weight to use it on tuna.

Thank you,

Re: FISH WINCH® in Mauritius

The FISH WINCH® has been received and was baptized this weekend. I thought you might want to have a few pics from Mauritius.

As you can see, we caught a huge Ruby Snapper aboard the “Chilipoint Too” as well as quite a few other fish. We only had a 50lb scale on board so not able to get a weight but well over 50lbs!

Many Thanks and Best Regards,

Another successful but short halibut season. The lions share of a great day on the Washington coast. Couldn't have done it without the FISH WINCH®.

Re: FISH WINCH® comments

Attached are a few pictures from my last 2 trips using the FISH WINCH®. Some of the striped bass out here are monsters and I’m really happy with the performance of the FISH WINCH®. That thing just keeps cranking and there is no chance the wire is gonna break so it works very efficiently.

71 pound Warsaw Grouper at 300 feet caught with the FISH WINCH®!!!

Caught from depths over 1000 feet...a few pounds of lead was no sweat along with the fighting "chicken heads" on the rig. The FISH WINCH®'s didn't dent the single car battery we ran them off of all day. The value of being able to have a conversation, while reeling in two rods simultaneously, is alone worth the purchase of your product.

Your FISH WINCH® has worked out great for me!  I've caught at least 50 to 60 deep drop fish on this, fishing 360ft to 600ft of water. I've also been using this as my back-up kite reel, again with no issues.

It’s been a while since I got my FISH WINCH® but I have now done a fair bit of fishing with it andcaught some great fish. Some pictures attached.

The first 2 pics are Blue Eye Trevalla, delicious! The third is Blue Grenadier or Hoki (nice eating but a little soft). The fourth are "Rays Bream". Good eating and we were pulling 4 at a time (got 32 from about 400m deep).

Cheers,

My new FISH WINCH® worked flawless! Heres a picture of our catch on 9/29/2012 in 800ft depth, half a mile off the west coast of the island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. We caught 18 queens. Also in the mix was 1 sea bass, 10 silks, 4 yelloweyes, and 1 shortjaw lizardfish (who will become bait on the next trip). Total fishing time was 5 hours. Thanks again!

Re: Testimonial and fish pics

I attached my new FISH WINCH® to a Penn 6/0 loaded with 100lb braid and on my first trip out landed three nice golden Tilefish up to 20 pounds! The 'winch ran all day on a 12V "jump-box" and hauled up those Tiles along with 5lbs of lead from 900 feet with ease. The unit was amazingly quiet, didn't heat up, and worked exactly as well as your site described. Thanks again for a great product.

Re: More lovely fish

Just wanted to show you our most recent highlight fish...42lbs Yellowedge...we had a great day last week, and again the FISH WINCH® performed flawlessly!! I am still impressed!

Here is the picture of the Yellowedge, and a 20lb Red Snapper! Hope you can use them on the web site.

Re: FISH WINCH® does it again!

I just can't say enough about my FISH WINCH®! I've attached a picture of my "Labor Day" Gag Grouper to this email. We went out on the Navigator out of Calabash, it was our first trip on that boat. Jeter told the captain,if they would put us on grouper, we'd catch them. This fish freight trained my bait, it fought the entire way up! Too much fun!!! The fish was fresh off the gaff when this picture was taken. It weighed in right at 19lbs and I won the pot.

Re: FISH WINCH® works in Trinidad

Just wanted to let you guys know that the FISH WINCH® works in Trinidad too!!! Take a look at the Warsaw and the Yellowedge that we got on our first trip with the “Winch”! The reels work great, and I can’t wait to use them again!

38lb. Gag grouper caught in 200ft. of water. My FISH WINCH® saved the day. Everybody hated me because I had the electric reel, now they all want one.

Thank you very much for your help.

We were fishing Thursday on the Vonda Kay and Capt. Dave put us on the grouper. I caught my first big gag - 18lbs! I won the pot and beat out the "grouper pros"! Your FISH WINCH® is awesome and I will not fish with anything else!!!  

Happy fishing!!

Aloha,

It's been a while since I got the FISH WINCH® and I wanted to share this with you...

We went out yesterday to bottom fish for Opakapaka (Pink Snapper) and Uku (Gray Snapper). We dropped 4lb. weights 70 fathoms and at the end of the day had two 150 quart coolers full. They were between 3lbs-15lbs and a lot of doubles. The FISH WINCH® paid for itself the first time out!

Thanks,

Re: First use of the FISH WINCH® - 32 "Besugos" caught in the Straits of Gibraltar in 2.5 hours at 600 feet.

For your info I went fishing with my brother-in-law yesterday and we were fishing at 600 feet - maybe more - and we brought up 32 fish called "Besugos" in Spanish, very popular with the wife because she loves them and to buy they are very expensive. We had a brilliant day out and not too tired. With 6 hooks I came up twice with 4 fish...without the FISH WINCH® I would have been dead!

Thanks and Regards,

I just bought & received from you (2) FISH WINCH® electric fishing reels. I am very happy with the product & have used both the drives on 6/0 & 9/0 Penn Senator reels loaded with spectra braid line (100lb.) rigged on Pinnacle Marine Outfitters 60/80 STX rods for deep drop bottom fishing & trolling off Bermuda already.

I have caught deep water Red Snapper (depths over 2000') with no problems whatsoever. The drives have amazing pulling power. I have also caught wahoo over 45lb. while trolling and quite honestly they didn't stand a chance with the torque of the FISH WINCH® muscling them to the boat in a very short time.

We're very happy and impressed with the FISH WINCH® 2.0...used it effectively in 600ft and caught some Snowys. Put it to the test with some big Amberjacks and it didn't flinch ...smooth and quiet.

My friend is 72 and I’m 79. The FISH WINCH® 2.0 made bringing in the 152# marlin a whole lot easier. Mahalo!

I recently purchased a Commercial and 2.0 FISH WINCH® for my Shimano Tiagra and Penn 12/0. Well as luck would have it I put the 2.0 to the test on July 4th, 2020. Within an hour I caught an Otaru (24lb Skipjack tuna), then I caught an Ono (20lb Wahoo). I had the auto-pilot set and music playing loudly when I heard the distinct sound of the short outrigger rubber band snap and the line began to peel off the reel...I knew I had an Ahi (Yellowfin tuna). I fish solo so I took my time and the 2.0 performed flawlessly. I’m excited to catch a fish on the Commercial model since the 2.0 worked so well.

Hanapa’a and Aloha,
