I throw A-rigs on 20# flouro, just because that's what I happened to have spooled on at the time and it's works just fine. Trying to break off 20# line isn't the easiest thing to do either.

When I did rent, I'd take up to 5 setups. You just have to be careful where everything is laying on or across.

6# or 8# P-line Flouroclear for spinning set ups. 65# Suffix braid for flipping/pitching 20# Segaur Red Label for football jigs 16# Sunline Super Natural for everything else

A buddy gave me a knock off Jackall Aragon crank that actually runs straight and catches fish!

I'm a big fan of P-line flouroclear! Granted I'm only using 6 & 8 lb test on my spinning outfits but I've never had a problem. I think it's a great line! I've been snagged quite a few times and have had a hard time breaking it off.

Just a thought, maybe it's not the reel, but the way you're spooling your line onto the reel. If it's twisted at the beginning, the whole spool is going to be twisted no matter what. When you first spool line on, after 10 turns of the handle, stop and take a look at you're line. If it starts to double over on itself, flip the spool of line over and turn the handle a couple more times, stop, look, and repeat until you don't see it twisting on itself. Or possibly, it could be the lure you are throwing. Such as, in-line spinners (rooster tails) will greatly increase your chances of line twists because of the way they spin. That's if you tie directly to the line without a swivel. And if you still believe it's the reel, you should definitely look for a reel that has a bearing supported line roller. That should help with less line twists.

Flipping/pitching: 65# Suffix braid Football jigs: 20# Seaguar red label.

I've had to cut off the triggers on my casting rods also! They are so much more comfortable to fish with all day! The triggers were just not very comfortable after a long day of fishing. And I never could figure the need for them, if you're the type who palms the whole reel. I've always wondered why aren't there any rods without triggers out on the market. They palm support reel seat does look interesting.

I applaud you megastrike for your will power. The bait monkey is strong! I too, have discovered what you're talking about. I've realized, I don't use half my tackle box when I'm out on the water. With an over whelming selection of colors, sizes, and techniques, half the time you're wondering which one? which one will it be? I understand, if my living depended on fishing, sure I'd keep the wide selection. But I'm just a weekend warrior. So this year, I've begun thinning out the tackle box and limit my selection. With less to think fluster about, one should be more efficient on the water.

You can use BPS handles. They should fit the Revo. Most aftermarket parts are going to be expensive, no matter what.

Bank fishing, I only bring 1 rod and a small worm bag. You can cover top to bottom with just plastics and if you lose them, it's not a big deal.

X4 for Mister Twister. Been using and still using it for past 3yrs. No complaints. If it were to ever go bad, I'd get another one.
