Well i was smallie fishing draging a tube , hooked into a pound smallie.. And released went back to cast and was reeling back in i notice it was suddly really hard to reel it in and i had just cleaned , oiled up te reel. Had something broke or maybe got something in it? Its only a year old And being a vacation right now at An awesome smallie fishiery make this a tough loss for the trip. Any ideas what i should do? Send it back to abu for warrenty or to be professionally cleaned?

Since the season has started i have been doing some experiementing with huge frustrations with spiderwire invisbraid breaking mid cast without back lash and on hooksets just b.s stuff. today i tryed 17 pound vicous pro elite flouro i belive and it just ticked me off every flip with loose coils and bird nests that did not make sence when i got them... just want to know what you guys prefer , i do alot of rock , timber and light weeds in both clear and stained water ... so my question is... you find best with braid and flouro leader (what pound tests?) or all flouro ( company and pound test)?

oh i will add i'm experimenting with 6 pound invisa braid straight up no flouro leader compared to my brother who is using 8 pound sunline straight up... so far hes up on me 2 fish , same baits , same length from hook to weight

id throw 10lb braid on and then tie a 6 pound leader on longer enough for the drop shot rig

i use 10lb berkley 100% flouro and my brother uses 12lb sunline flouro , he bout catch equal amount of lake st clair , no real difference yet both can take a beating!

considering ice was off 3 days ago. im up to around 10 biggest being around 2.5-3

Yesterday i went out to do some pond fishing to test some gear out. I was using the wright mcgill rick clunn glass jerk bait rod (yeah the one that everyone went crazy for 30$) any ways first fish i hooked the first 6 inches broke off...I email them last night but my question is , what are my chances of getting a replacement rod since that model is discontinued? Another problem in this situation it was a gift from my parents which i dont have the reciept and since there divorce yada yada cant find it..... jerkbait season is here just my luck...

Im all for Abu Garcia but d**n my brother had lews and the 99$ one is a hell of a good reel

Must have been Beer O'Clock on a Friday

pending on baitcast or spinning , i fish st clair year around and prefer spinning wise for tubes 7ft' medium Abu Garcia Veracity

just for fun i bought a cheap crank out of walmart 2 years ago that had the "flashing lights" .... i havnt caught so many hammerhandles and small walleye! lol... but for bass never a single one.
