Wow Flushing Bearings Really Works!!!
My tourney rigs are taken down once a year for a complete clean and relube, and oil on the spool bearings after every tourney (if used). My everday rig (and I do mean just about every day), is taken down every 6 months, and a drop of oil on the spool bearings once a month.

Easy Question For The Shimano Guys
I wouldnt worry too much about IPT, it changes depending on how much line is on the spool. Just worry about the ratios, and use them for your basis of use.

What Is The Shelf Life Of Line??
As long as its not exposed to UV light your good.

Reel Maintenance?
You fish with spinning reels, which dont go through the beating like a baitcaster does. By this I mean the spool bearings on a baitcaster do a whole lot of spinning between casting and reeling, so they need a drop of oil once a month.

What Lures And Techniques Do You Use In Algae Filled Lakes?
Dont let the lure touch the bottom. Swim a swimbait, or a lizard around. Right now the bass are going nuts for shallow crankbaits and swimbaits.

How Much Does Color Matter With Top Water?
Black, bone, clear, whatever, they are going to hit it. I personally throw the Zara Spook in that silver/transparent. I have rattle, and one knockers, both great.

Square Bill Fishing Rod
Honestly, whatever you feel more comfortable fishing with. If you dont think its going to be strong enough, dont use it. I dont fish many crankbaits, but when I do, I use my 50E that is mounted on a 6'8 Compre MH/F Worm and Jig rod. In fact, I have been using it the past week because the fish have been exploding on these squarebills. I just set the drag appropriatly, and havent lost a fish yet. Faught a 5.5lber the other day.

Best Line?
Im gonna have to agree. At $15 for 600yds, I dont think you can compete.

Is All This Really Necessary?
Haha, soo true.

Punch Rigs
A good stout MH/H rod with an XF tip, some 50-65# braid, and a good 7 ratio reel will do great. Also, the addition of the HawgHandle is a good. Look for open spots in mats or lilly pads.

Reel Maintenance?
I cant help it. There is a canal every 100ft down here. Its like putting twinkies all over the place for fat kids. lol

I just peed myself laughing.

Broward County
There are canals all along Sawgrass and 27. Just use Google Earth and look around for water, thats what I do. Always trying new spots.

Line Poll
Dont buy line off the bay, or used/leftover for that matter. Thats prob what happened to you.

Reel Maintenance?
5 times a month? I fish 5 times a week! lol

New Rod/reel/line
Have both the E and G Citica. The E to me feels better handling wise. Performance wise, I think they are just about equal after a good flush and lube.
-
Best Line?
I would either go straight 12# YoZuri, because its cheap enough to respool if you backlash a lot. Or, if you are well skilled, you could go the Tatsu route. If you want a best of both worlds setup, you could use a good braid like Power Pro in a 50#, and you could leader in a mono/fluoro line if needed.
-
Reel Maintenance?
Get the Ardent reel kit. Just make sure you flush the spool bearings, then add a drop of oil to them, and if you use it a lot, then just add a drop every month or so. Also, make sure you keep a thin coat of grease on the brake drum.
-
New Frog Rod
Anything MH XF will do just fine. If you fish real heavy slop, might want to bump to a H.
