Finesse spinning reel recommendations
I like the Vanford 2000 and you can put 8 lb test mono on it. It’s between the 1000 and the 2500.

1000 Size Shimano spinning reel on a 7'6 rod??
Does the size of the spool (spinning) have anything to do with line management? Example, line still coming off after the cast was made or loops? Just something to think about. 1000 or 2500 size spool?

Evinrude Outboard HELP
Ok, this will sound goofy so here it goes. I have a 25hp Yamaha tiller prop job in the rear of my 16’ Bass Tracker Grizzly tin bot. I had something vibrating at low rpm’s. Similar to your noise. It went away as I gave it gas. I tightens every bolt, screw, motor mounts, and any nock and cranked I could find. Next trip out it was gone. just say’in.

Shimano spinning reels
I “had” the same knuckle problem. But it was many years ago. I think they changed this about the time the Stradic was out. The bail kept hitting my knuckles. You might still be using old spinners. Just say’in.

You ever wonder how bass eat bluegill and crawfish so easily when we can’t even pick them up without getting nipped?
I believe a Bass swallows a bluegill head first. The gill just slides down to the stomach. That’s what I’m think’in anyway.

St. Croix rod issue, question about CS experiences
I have two rods there. I called them twice and they told me someone will get back to me in about a week. It’s been over a month and no call back. They said they were swamped. I hope they have the replacement rods in stock once they get around to my situation. As a rule their CS is great. Right now, not so much.

Trolling motor: 30 lb. vs. 55 lb. ?
Get the biggest you can afford. You do not have to use your top speed all the time, but it’s nice to have if you need it.
