Other than hold the bearing for you, what does that plastic gizmo actually do? oe

Your drag doesn't disappear... hold the reel handle still and your drag continues to work. oe

I thumb the spool. I never fill the spool "brim full" with line. oe

Yes, I backreel when fighting large fish. I also loosen the drag and use a landing net. oe

Texas Tackle pliers are the smallest I've run across... I used my dremmel to reduce the size of my pliers' tip end to accomodate smaller rings. oe

A board on this site devoted strictly to equipment maintenance. Lots of this info is spread throughout several of the boards but is difficult and time consuming finding when I want to reference something I know I've read on here. Plenty of knowledgeable members who could contribute tutorials and lead disscussions about common rod and reel maintenance proceedures. The more commonly sought discussions should be "stickied" at the top. oe

Thanks shootermcbob, I love her too! oe

Buy a current fishing liscense and fish with whatever you currently have... I bet it will catch just as many bass as it did when you bought it new. oe

Acetone is the primary ingredient in fingernail polish remover. oe
