First step is to flush and lightly oil the stock bearings. If you need more consider super Tuning and then ABEC5 ceramic hybrids run dry. Bocas are $9.95.

The tatula casting advantage comes from being a Daiwa not from the T wing. If you're a diy maintenance type the t wing is more complicated.

Do yourself a favor: don't disassemble the bail of any spinner unless you're experienced of wish to become. They're a headache. The AR is a close second. That's why you don't see them done in ameteur videos. If you get in a bind contact me and try to help you thru it.
-
If it broke right at the tip just get a new tip top glued on. If it broke further down it needs replacement to keep the action unchanged.

Braid doesn't actually float its neutral buoyancy. For the most part I don't find bass to be line shy. Leader material choice depends on your reason for a leader at all. Heavy leader material works well if zebra mussels Or toothy critters are likely to be encountered. Outside of that spool scraps like RW suggested should be fine.

Neither is "better " reel it just comes down to features and what you like.

Just call abu. The gen 3 schematics never show up on the site for me either.
-
Fuji guides are stainless steel not aluminum. If it didn't break when you straightened it you should be fine.
-
A fishing reel does not require specialized lubricants, only application appropriate ones. There are tons of threads suggesting what to use where.
-
Neither power or action have a direct correlation to sensitivity but they aren't unrelated either. For example you'll lose contact with an 1/8oz hair jig fished on a flipping stick. If you use common sense and match and balance all the components you'll have all the sensitivity you need

I get $7.50 plus parts for single foot guide replacement.
-
That's what it sounds like. Will you DIY the repair?
-
No, a leader knot will damage a guide. I'd fish straight braid in this case though.
-
A #4 guide will pass an Albright knot joining 50# braid to 15# leader with no problem. Micros will not cause line slap. That's dictated by the reduction train (first 3-4 guides). Properly employed, they'll maximize sensitivity by lightening the tip section.
-
Their biggest advantage is consistent performance when reels are changed. I use them as a selling point but not as an up charge
-
some models tolerate over lubricating better than others but that and thorough cleaning/flushing are always where I start. If you can't get it out of the case flush with Simple Green and rinse with hot water. Let us know how you make out.

There's just too many variables to assign definitive cause and affect of tweaks in presentation. It could just as well been a timing thing. We can only guess what's in his heart and mind.

Every company employs human beings hence mistakes will happen. The frequency and resolution are what separates top shelf companies. I'd contact St Croix and see what they say.

Braid on light sinning tackle is for line management and sensitivity. Nothing to worry about at all. Over loading a rod within reason is safe as long as you don't do snap casts. Retrieving heavy lures may feel labored.

Pflueger president is arguably the best bang for the buck.
