Is It Possible To Take A Fresh Water Bait Caster And Turn It Into A Salt Water Bait Caster?????
better to just buy a saltwater reel....i tried using some freshwater reels for salt species and they didnt hold up well especially to decent size snook...maybe if you baby them the whole time but i want some cranking power when needed and unless im fishing open flats usually its needed lol

The Breaking Point. (My Journey)
if you drink a lot of sodas you could switch them out for water and probably drop some fat easily without changing anything else also make small changes and space them out....cause if you make a lot of changes at one time you will be unhappy i noticed you have a boat in your picture also...start land fishing some too haha will get you more exercise without noticing it much

Best Rod Quality Vs. Customer Service/warranty
get a quality rod and take care of it....every manufacturer has a warranty for defects so if you get a good quality rod you shouldnt need to worry about using a warranty unless its a defect really the manufacturer didnt slam your tip in the tailgate or run it over with your truck lol so people should take some responsibility for their own neglect that way you will learn to treat your rods better

Shimano Baitrunner
either will work....the baitrunner will be a little easier to cast lighter baits though

The Breaking Point. (My Journey)
you owe it to yourself too man...both my parents families have a history of diabetes and heart disease so im trying like hell not to have the same lol also when you go on a diet you have to go off a diet and that wont keep the fat away so it has to be lifestyle changes...just every time you look at your wife and kids think about how they would feel without you and im positive that it wont be hard to make the changes...and dont forget to stretch after if you lift weights so you wont get lactic acid i wish you the best of luck and a long healthy life for you, your wife and your kids

Borrowed Kayak, Need Help On Setup.
they dont have a place to rent or buy fishing kayaks around you? if they do you could rent one for a couple hours it shouldnt be that expensive or ask if they will let you take one on a test drive that one doesnt look like you could do much and if you flip over lol im not sure how easy they are to escape or roll back over while you are still in it so please be careful

Line Noise On Rod
is any of the line touching the rod blank when you are reeling? some guides just make noise like the new microwave guides from american tackle...if the line is touching the rod blank on a bend then the guides are not spaced right and you could have premature breakage so check it out

Question About Worm Fishing
when i worm fish as soon as i cast the worm in i let it sit for a 10 count before i move it the first hop...usually during that is when i get hit the most...i dont have a problem feeling the bites with a slack line with braid but if you do and the water is calm watch the line where your line is entering the water....usually during a hit the water around the line will ripple

Question About My New Shimano Reel
you can cast the tekota fine with a decently heavy rod my friend has one and he makes pretty long casts with it...although hes using an 8oz sinker but for freelining live bait (unless you are using a decently heavy bait) just hope the bait swims where you want it lol...you can cast 3oz(just weight whether its bait or lead) of weight pretty far with it also the reel is supposed to not click over by turning the handle....if you cast it you would need to be ready for when the handle flips around during cast and either you get hurt or your rig flies away...i use the trinidad tn30 for bottom fishing and we cast them pretty far (about 70 yards or so probably longer)

How Do You Hook Live Minnows?
