Arrested for wreckless driving? I don't know of anyplace other than demolition derbies where drivers are expected to wreck each other. Wreckless driving is a good thing. Reckless driving, not so good. Sorry. I don't usually correct spelling errors, but this was too punny to let go by.

We owned a lube oil distributorship for years and here is my take. The main thing is to lube regularly and properly with an appropriate product for the application. There are no magic formulas. Any of the mentioned products will work. Check the viscosity of a given oil and remember that lower vis. (thinner) will allow bearings to spin faster but won't last as long. Higher vis. is the opposite. What you want is a happy medium. You can go as far as using sewing machine oil in the bearings if you have that around the house. Whatever you use: clean the part thoroughly. In the case of bearings that means flushing with acetone... then dry. Apply one drop directly on the race (side)and give a spin. All this applys to grease as well. Drag washers are a special application and need a drag specific grease. Cal's or Shimano Drag can be used and work well through out the reel. If you're not going to mess with the drag, Super Lube is a good product or Yamaha Marine or similar will work.

The new Rage line from St Croix is at the top of your budget at $150 but this is a quality blank and light weight with micro guides. Go with the 7'1" Med. Stretch your baitcaster buget another $17 and grab a BPS Pro Qualifier on sale for $79. The quality is light years ahead of anything else you'll find in the <$100 range.

I see this as the same as the slaughter rule in little league....fair. also, the kid in question is VERY cool with it..isent that all that matters? EDIT: also, its only when his team is ahead by two TD's can he not score again...not like he cant score all together, topic misleading. Edit2: Actually...the more I think about it? Screw it. This kid needs to run TRAIN on his opposition just completely demolish everyone in sight. Then maybe fat kid Billy will learn how to hit the heavy bag, work on his speed and not play Club Penguin 24/7 and eat Pizza Bites. Then maybe he could actually take down this kid. He has the same chances as anyone he plays to be as good as him and if other lazy kids dont want to follow suit? Screw em...they lose.
