Yo-Zuri Hybrid
I have Yo-Zuri Hybrid on 2 of my BCs, in 12lbs test. I sprayed the line with KVD as I spooled up the reels and that was it. I do dpary KVD on them once a month, but I am not sure they need it. For spinning gear I prefer the Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft in 8lbs test, treated the same way as I do the line on my BCs. Later,

Shimano Symetre 2500FI
Wow! I totally 100% disagree. I recommend either watching the flea market here, or continually checking with ebay. You might want to check out the Sahara, nearly identical to the older FI and is $79. Just the new one piece bail alone is a major improvement over the FI. Later,

Fat Ika Help
The Kinami Plam Tree is the same thing as a Fat Ika correct. Just under a different name? Our local BPS does not carry the Fat Ika, but they do carry the Palm Tree. Later,

question about CuradoE5
Button should not be hard to push at all. I would ask this question over in the Shimano support forums and ask Bantam1. He will be able to give you all the help you need. Later,

New Johnny Morris Gold Series Baitcasting Reel???
Braid can be a little difficult on a BC. When I first started out with Braid on my BC I set my brakes 3 on 3 off(Shimano Curado 201D) and set the cast control knob a little tighter then normal. Once I started getting the hang of it I began to loosen it up and really let her zing. But lately I have switched over to Yo-Zuri Hybrid line and just have not even thought about braid. Later,
