Can you pm me any number,etc on the bottom of the reel foot. I have the 10,000+ reel schematics from reel schematics .com 5 disc set. I will get it asap as it takes abit of goin through.

My dad first, Denny Brauer, Rick Clunn

Not really weird, but landed a 4pd that had a megabass crank hanging from it jaw.

Your dad will be very pleased. Very nice thing you have done for your dad

Very solid advice A-Jay. One will also learn that no matter how perfect the weather,or how much you prepare,there will be days youll come smellin like an ole skunk

Thank you Tom. My wife showed me how to save your post, and print it. Im not that up on computers. Ive been using pork bait for 38 years. I appreciate your time on this sir.

The only thing Abu i will use and still use at times,are my 4600s and 5500s from many years ago. Anything else from Abu - its not going to happen...........

Or shady used car sales people.

Take a look at the Diawa BG , it a mighty fine reel

90%, because there are no local tackle shops.

You might try-RIT DYE. Check walmat or joann fabric.

My preference for 35.00 is a berkley lightining rod.

Acual leader material is different stuff. It stronger,more abrasion resistant. If you want to try the leader material, i use seagur blue label. I ve also used bps off shore angler, with great results.

Im using a white yeti ( the small one). It really works great in the boat or back of truck, when its scorchin hot out.

100% the truth WRB! Alot of people just dont get it ?

Nice. But the bait monkey will see that empty spot

Young man if you would message me your name,address,etc. i will send you a perfectly good reel with no issues with it,along with some 12pd line, new in the box.

As the old saying goes--you learn something new everyday-- thank you

Thank you WRB. I will be orderin up this weekend.

Ive done the same as Catt to 2 calcuttas and several other brands. Those rivits are aluminum,and using a drill press i removed them. Take the reels with me to menards. They have a specialty screw section. The screws,lock washers,nut ant red lock tite did the trick. Just be carefull not to over tighten them. One reel i drilled out, and retapped the hole.used proper flat head screw,red lock tite. its good as new.

Prayers sent WRB

Ive collected all of Bagley Fat Cats, Mama Cats over the years some still in original packaging. Also Rapala Floaters,Jelly worms. Ive even managed to keep the older Culprit worm that had the velcro on them.

I use the same ones ive been using the last 15 years. Picasso and Stanley VIBRA WEDGE. I have replaced skirts,swivels when needed,and sharpend hooks.

Its good stuff. Ive been using it since it came out. Cant speak for the 20lb, but i have 8 and 10lb.
