How Do You Clean Reel Handles, Daiwa Tatula
The knobs do come off. Pull out on the knob cap with something. Then it'll expose a screw. If you're just talking about getting the knobs dirty. Just scrub them off with a rag, and dawn.

Best Rod For Fishing Senkos?
Well as you can see from the replies. There is no 'best' only what people think is the best. With that budget it's hard to make a bad choice.

Co-Angler Spinnerbait Organization
That exact MegaStrike spinnerbait is probably my most productive. That's a great idea you came up with. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

Do Outboard Motors Need 'marine' Spark Plugs?
I'm not aware of any specialized spark plugs for outboards. Though I haven't actually looked for them either. So there may be such a thing. I purchase my plugs from an auto parts store.

Rapala Shadow Rap
I picked up 4 of them at a gas station on the way to the lake one day. I used the bone color fishing down a rock wall and tore up with it. Is it the best? No, but for $8 it's a nice bait.

Anti Reverse Bearings Won't Seat Properly
I had the same thing happen with the $99 speed spool years ago. I can't remember the exact fix. Try flipping that metal sleeve around. I think that might of been it.

Weird Whacky Rig Weights
You push the eye into the worm and then put the hook through the eye. It doesn't come completely out of the worm, but it's somewhat close. The two metal tabs stick into the bottom of the worm. They work fine, and I haven't noticed any worms being any more torn up than sticking a hook through the middle. They work well for when you need the little faster fall that's sometimes preferred by the fish.

Stupid Question
You need to remove the pawl cap, and the pawl. Then you can slide the line guide out. Without seeing a picture it's a guess.

Weird Whacky Rig Weights
Fish in my profile pic is on a weighted wacky worm using one of those weights. They're made out of Tungsten so the profile is fairly small.

How Often Do You Clean Your Reels?
Full down to the frame cleaning over the winter, and if it gets dunked during the season.

Snell Knot Trouble
Snell a straight shank flipping hook. Especially when using heavier weights like 1/2oz and up. The weight kicks the hook out and helps to drive the large gauge hook upward. I use the uni knot version of the snell. It's easy to tie quick.

I Own 6 Lew's Reels - How Can I Learn To Clean/oil Them?
Have the schematic on hand. Take lots of pictures. Lay out parts in order of disassembly. I use a muffin pan for that part. Take your time. Have the right tools/stuff for the job. Lay down a white cloth or t shirt. It helps to see if you drop something.

It's still May and it's been released for over a week now.

Dobyns - New Contender For The $100 Rod Catergory
You do realize I started this thread about the fury rod? Also that I said I spoke with Dobyns to get info on the blank verse the Savy? I didn't have anything bad to say about Dobyns. Except that they're are overpriced. Which is true to me. Doesn't mean I don't like them,own them, and fish them. It just means I would never pay full retail, or close to it.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
For sure. It's a nice boat. I was just curious. I got a 2014 115x for $999 plus $99 shipping. Came with a paddle, zooka tube rod holder,trolley kit, and 3lb anchor. I upgraded to a bending branches angler classic paddle for another $50.

Braided Line Keeping Me From Catching Fish?
Sometimes it can be the difference. I've experienced it first hand. However it's hard to say in your situation since you were fishing against someone. Maybe he's just a bit better. I out fish my buddy all the time. Even when he uses the excuse that I'm at the front of the boat. So I let him run the trolling motor and the outcome is the same every time.

Dobyns - New Contender For The $100 Rod Catergory
I own 2 champions and 1 extreme. They're nice rods, but I'd never pay retail for them. I hate to say it, but they aren't worth it. People are paying for the name. That's my opinion anyhow.
