Straight from the Shimano website I use oil on the levelwind worm gear ,it won't pick up grit/dirt like grease http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/customer_service0/reel_maintenance_instructions.download.-mainParsys-0001-downloadFile.html/Maintenance%20Tips-%20Baitcasting%20Reels%20(2%20pages).pdf T

MOVE ! T

It's a good value , I have used it and liked it . Like posted before it's cheap so you can respool often.

Go to Academy and pick up an All Star Classic..good rod to start out with in your price range. T

They are goods rods sensitive and light but retail price is out of his range at $175..you can find good deals but they are snatched up fast. T

That's another excellent choice ,their light and sensitive T

With your budget I would go with a Falcon Lowrider. T

You did good , especially the threadfin shad T

I have had good luck in 2' visibility or more on smoke glitter ring worms & grubs..Any more stained than that and I would change colors T

The 24V uses 2 batteries, if you have the motor hooked up to one battery your running 12V..sounds like you got some wires in the wrong place. T

Xcalabur Zell Pop...at least it's my favorite T

War Eagle Screaming Eagle T

Tragic T

The 4th picture is my favorite . Good job. T

I use 15# Big Game for spinnerbaits and 12# floro for crankbaits T

Most underated.... probably a 3" grub on a jighead T

Buzzbaits are good for an occasional explosion or two. T

I mainly throw 1/2oz Chart/white with tandem willowleaf 1 gold and 1 silver but if the water is dirty will go to a double Colorado blade in gold with a black skirt or chartruese skirt with painted blades T

You can answer your own question..try casting a Finesse worm accurately with a 3/16oz weight. IMO the medium rods excell in the 1/8oz-1/4oz range + some.If you want to throw 3/8oz-3/4oz baits a MH would fit the bill. This is how I fish T

No ,I was talking about their baits and knives..no experience with their rods T

This is the first time I've heard of this reel..website has no price ? Rapala genarally makes good stuff but who knows on this reel T

I have a brown crawfish 20+ that I have had for at least 10 years and have caught a lot of fish on it.As previously stated the color is not that great and I changed the hooks out a long time ago, but it does catch me some fish. T

I like Classic patterns and Scott Martin Challange T

What do you need a manual ? The only info I use out of the box is the schematics. PM me if you need help setting up this reel or maintenence I'll walk you through it. T
