I vaguely remember hearing about this, I have never seen one come loose, but seems I remember someone posting pictures of one on another forum.

weight disk?????

I seen those, they are cool, but I think if it were me I would do like you and go with the 5152.

Yellow Tatula

I guess I am highly skilled because I don't seem to have a problem.

A 5 inch Yamamoto Senko weights just about 3/8ths of an ounce. Not a huge difference.

Nice, check out this link, I think you will be interested. http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/dual-ball-bearing-idler-gear-p-113638.html

Nice reel and upgrades, does it have the dual bearing idler gear upgrade?

Clutch Spring Bushing, PN 1145288

I fish therefore I am......Cogito ergo sum.

A pair of good sunglasses and a pair of good pliers.

I believe I know what is wrong with the reel. There is a small metal insert missing from the clutch assembly where the leg of the spring passes through it. Without the insert there is too much free play and it does not allow the spring to hold the clutch in the correct position. I have an old Pflueger reel that I will try to get a picture of the part that I am speaking of so you can see what I am speaking of.

Inward towards the spool shaft is the off position.

I prefer the 734C for anything above 3/8.

Guys that com in the tackle store have reported doing well in this type of water with a pink jig head and a milktruese colored grub.

I am guessing we are talking about spinning reels here. A couple of things you can do to help improve on your situation, try using a lighter line, use braided line with a leader, try using a line conditioner, or use top quality line. More details would help give a better response, What type of reel are you using? What line and strength are you using? Anyway good luck.

We talking El Dorado?

Owner, I am impressed with the triple grips.

Great series, congrats to the Giants, they played and pitched well. I am curious if Shields will remain in KC or try his luck elsewhere. I don't feel he did his self any favors in terms of a big new contract with someone else based on his postseason performance. May be in his best interest to stay in KC.

I use the Falcon Cara Eakins Finesse Jig model. I like the rod so much I own two.

While I have not tried it, I can't quite understand how watching the spool is going to tell you much about bait speed. The problem with this technique that I keep coming to is that depending on the level of line on the spool the speed that the bait is being retrieved can vary as much as 40-50% with the spool moving exactly the same speed. Tactile feedback from the drag of the bait and the bend in the rod would seem to be more usable to me.

I think that SF will start Hudson, but if anything starts happening for KC I am sure that they will march Bumgarner out to the mound. KC will have more of an opportunity against him working on short rest but I am sure he will still be very tough. Got to score some runs on Hudson early. Go Royals !!!!!

Using the bill for perspective, it looks to be a heavy 4lb fish to me.

I prefer low speed reels for almost all of my crankbait fishing. There are several reasons for my preference. I enjoy how a low speed high torque reels moves a high resistance bait effortlessly through the water, and how it helps keep my bait in the strike zone longer. I appreciate that I do not have to consciously think about how fast or slow I am cranking the reel handle, and that the gear ratio allows me to operate the reel at a rate that is normal and comfortable to me. I also find that after a day on the water throwing deep diving high resistance baits that my fingers, hands, forearms are shoulders are a lot less tight and fatigued as the result of the increased torque that a low speed reel has. Select and use the right tool for every job.

Nice fish, looks like an easy 5+ fish to me.
