    For distance you will need at least an 8 carrier, for heavy cover at least a 4 carrier. Think of it this way 4 carrier as off road tire and 8 carrier as a street or highway tire. I been using the KK brand of braid. Their best one is the Hammer braid

    I mainly fish the Rapala Rattlin Rap in various colors. Going to try the 6Sense Duke.

    The majority of my gear is technique specific. I have one or two rods that are universal.

    It was from the bank, rod was in the rod holder, turned away to do something, hooked into a fish next thing I know rod and reel are in the water. Just wasn't quick enough to grab it. That was $100 setup gone.

    My service is a simple cleaning, oil and grease where necessary, replace line and back off the drags.

    Just hope to live and be well enough to fish. Catch more fish then 2024. That is my plan, nothing special.

    I am thinking about changing all my spinning tackle to braid with a FC leader. Can go with a thin dia braid 20-30# with 12-15# leader. Any thoughts.

    I have 2 Crankbait rods one is baitcaster and one is spinning. The spinning I use on windy days.

    I use the acetone nail polish remover for bearings and carefully use on metal parts. For the rest of the reel I use Penn Rod and Reel cleaner. Remember acetone does not play nice with plastics.

    I will take any bass, long, short, dink. They are just fun to catch.

    Reels: Clean, lubricate, back off the drags,respool line if necessary. Rods: check guides for wear and clean, reseal cork grips. Tackle: check hooks, look for wear an tear replace if necssary., This is spread out over a few months.

    Original packages stored in $1.50 plastic shoe boxes, also when fishing store some in a ziploc bag and the original packages that fit into my tackle boxes.

    I try too but that not always happens. That is why we have so many different combos. Also it keeps the tackle mfg.'s is business.
  22. ike8120
    I use either a copolymer or tripolymer for top water

    I use straight braid with a trailer. Also I cut a small piece of plastic tubing, slide it over the main line, then tie off to the bait and slide the tubing down over the bend. Keeps the line from slipping.(this was an idea I found on Youtube}

    That is my grease and oil of choice.
