How much line does your spinning reel hold?
i have an abu 602 on my light spinning rig. 8lb/140yds. i use 20/6 power pro with almost no management issues. i also have an abu 801 which holds 4lb/140yds (or 6lb/110yds). if i could find a braid that this little reel likes , i would fish with it all day. personally , i dont see myself using anything over a 2500 size spinning reel for bass fishing.

Braid making a weird sound??
yup! it didnt take me long to figure out to wrap the line around pliers when pulling a snag. i use power pro and it was also noisy when i first spooled up. now thats its been fished , its more limp , less noisy and less colored.

Flambeau Boxes?
i use plano boxes and never had any rust. packs of silica gel and making sure tackle is dry when you put it away always helps too.

Video of the Japanese angler skipping with a baitcaster?
who cares? : everytime i read one of this kids posts , i have to sift through a bunch of BS posts about how his spelling sucks or how someone has more hair on their chin than he has on his crotch. you guys are like what , 40+? hes 15. it was kinda funny at first, not so much now. get over it. srsly.

Full or Split grip?
eh , all my rods are full cork grips. ive never owned a split grip , but they look nifty. i rarely cast two-handed or use the fore grip , so i guess i prefer a slip grip/no fore grip even though ive never used one... :-?

Fishing Forearm?
why do you think popeye looks the way he does? ;D i rarely ever throw anything over 3/4 oz (bait , weight , and hook total) , but when i do , i immediately feel pain in my arm as well. im too old for my age. :-/

Going Down to Miami this Weekend need some help
flukes and fluke jrs worked close to the top. top waters like a zara spook/puppy. DOA terror eyez. or live bait. peacocks on light spinning tackle is just fantastic. they like to be close to shore near drop offs. x2 , miami gardens isnt exactly known for being a safe area. good luck.

i think i know exactly what video youre thinking of. iirc , it was posted in the general section in a thread called 'cool videos' a while ago. my search didnt turn up anything. i could be wrong though.

nice peacock.
nice. im off tomorrow but im a bit south of where you are. im in cutler bay (33157). did you bring any tackle? Oh man, 33157. Thats my old zip code when I used to live down south in Perrine. Home sweet home! thats funny. i stayed there a while ago , but ive been in cutler ridge for 12+ years. if you ever come down my way , hit me up.

Line breaking!
its possible. if youre line looks frayed , i would retie. ive used the same leader on 6+ fish without retying. while ive also had to retie after one fish that ran my line across the rocky drop off. if in doubt , retie. and keep your thumb off the spool when setting the hook. http://animatedknots.com/indexfishing.php?LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com i use the palomar and albright. sometimes if im having trouble tying one of those , ill go with a uni knot.
