Thanks for the video Jeff those are some nice deer! So when the first clip releases is it much easier to reel in vs keeping them clipped in as Creek suggests? My main issue was getting the flag to react properly. Mine were too stiff or too loose. I see where you have yours so I will give that setting a try. I've only used them twice. The last time out I had six poles out and hadn't caught anything in a while, reeled them in and had fish on 4 out of the 6 poles. Maybe I just need to find some bigger fish to pull the flag harder .
