    Acrylic is a popular material along with cork, wood and others

    That’s a skeleton seat with an Eva insert. They can be pretty much any material.

    We steelhead fish all day with a 13’ rod held with the tip at between 12 & 2 to hold line off the water for drag free drifts. After that tip heavy bass rods don’t mean much. It’s more personal preference than right/wrong good/bad.
  4. Delaware Valley Tackle
    My guess would be a 6. They’re the most common “standard” size. If they appear smaller than other production rods you have possibly a 5.5. Anything smaller would likely be marketed as “macro” or “micro”.

    Shimano stops stocking parts after about 5 yrs. some odd parts are no longer available already. Independent dealers often have parts for a while but it can be a hunt. Not a problem yet just something to be aware of.
  6. Delaware Valley Tackle
    They’re great performers, simple and forgiving. Only downside is limited parts availability but if it’s sound now and cared for it’s no problem.

    Don’t throw that reel away. I’ll take it if no one else will.
  8. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Yes replace the whole tip top. There are kits readily available. For an exact match I’d expect ABU to send one N/C
  9. Delaware Valley Tackle
    If it really broke right at the tip-top re-tipping it is viable. I don’t think you will notice a difference.

    A 5” Senko type worm is hefty and well within the capability of any decent baitcaster. Casting issues are more likely rod related or possibly setup.
  11. Delaware Valley Tackle
    How light is “light”? The rod plays a larger part in casting especially on the light end of the range.

    Unless you’re doing dozens of reels on a timeline, save your money. It won’t do anything that a soak, swish and rinse won’t do.
  13. Delaware Valley Tackle
    The models with the thick white washer (rulon?) whatever they call it take a special kit.

    For an off the shelf rod St Croix is hard to beat for quality, performance and selection. Custom builds are not price prohibitive as many assume and should be at least considered with other quality rods.
  15. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Email me and I’ll hook you up with the right parts.

    I think the Citica and Curado are too similar and the basic SLX makes sense until you’re ready to upgrade.

    There’s no way to prove it was the dull finish that got extra bites. Could have just been timing, positioning, any number of variables. A shiny lure might have caught the same fish but you’ll never know. On the flip side, if it gives you added confidence it won’t hurt either.
  18. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Those reels came with high quality bearings. I’d flush them and spin test. If they’re quiet and spin well oil them lightly and keep using them.
  19. Delaware Valley Tackle
    What bait are you retrieving? With what rod?
  20. Delaware Valley Tackle
    You put the tip off another rod on the fenwick? Why not splice the original back on?
  21. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Spool washers are a common adjustment. That’s why good reels come with spares.
  22. Delaware Valley Tackle
    If the line spools in a cone shape adding or subtracting washers fixes it. You want the spool moved in the direction of the low spot. I’m not sure how that would cause a birds nest though. I’d also be looking at the rods guide train.
  23. Delaware Valley Tackle
    Line might have been dug in.
  24. Delaware Valley Tackle
    No. It’s just cosmetically unappealing. Bending and twisting on them will do more harm than good.
  25. Delaware Valley Tackle
    None of those really require anything special. A rod with a suitable lure weight range and enough backbone for the cover in 7’> will do nicely.
