You’re so welcome! MikeHunt and I are fellow ratters and enjoy helping others if at all possible. Doing it on the cheap is even better! I’m always researching for the best deals. LOL! Have fun!

I big shout out to @Ranchibi. He 'schooled' me on use of the doorbell cam and pointed me to the exact product on Amazon.
With his guidance I am getting previously unknown shot opportunities on rats that are actually scarce, skittish and I get video.
Super Kewl!!!

Can we take this a step further and mount the night vision doorbell cam to view through the optic? There would have to be a secondary sighting device on the rifle to initially get on target, and i suppose a fairly powerful IR light source. Once your target is visible on the screen, zero in and take the shot while viewing from your screen.

Sounds like you want to use the infrared feature of the doorbell camera? It's bout the same size as a THICK cell phone and could be affixed, never tried. Try it!!!

Oh YEAH! Kastmasters plus some soft baits! Just picked up a POUND (tub) of Cals reel grease and some Daiwa jigs for yellowtail, tuna and Hoo as I went thru a whole tub…took me 7 years but that’s A LOT of reels I serviced! Cal blueprinted one of my 30 reels drags, he also will fabricate different gears ratios like a 1 to 1 when a tuna is circling, wenches it right up! Can NEVER have enough lures/jigs…NEVER! LOL!

I like the 1:1 ratio for close quarters because it screams... "Get In The Boat Now!!!!"
There's a lot of combinations using KastMaster (plus Rooster Tail and Little Cleo) and soft bait, LOTS, and easy to try many with a snap swivel on the end! I always take a couple dozen nightcrawlers in case they get picky.
Your guy has some chops to create the gearing and make all of that work. Your reels are a TOTALLY different animal than what I use. BTW I hate fly fishing but I fish flies under a bobber frequently and score too
I only have a couple decent spin reels... a Lews for Winter Steelhead because that sport consumes reels.
Tight Lines Bro!!!
