The new ulterra is much, much better. A lot smarter on the spot and the jog feature lets you move around without losing the “lock”

That’s not going to kill a Battle 2. After some time you might notice the retrieve resistance increasing or even binding. At that point you’ll have to open the side plate, remove the corroded grease, and then re-grease the gears and re-oil the bearings.

Mist or lightly spray reel, spray the rod down every night. The goal is to rinse off any salt spray without forcing it into the reel. Its a full on saltwater submersion that you’re going to want to avoid. A little spray isn’t going to hurt it. A more complete wipe down and deep cleaning may be periodically necessary.

My biggest issue has been the first joint separating too much so that it has the flexibility to snag the back hook. Tying the tails on with line works better than toothpicks.

y’all should try saltwater fly fishing?

I froze my promariner in a block of ice and it still works. Good luck.

“Huddleston Deluxe, Inc. filed a patent infringement, copyright infringement, and unfair competition lawsuit last week in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Bass Pro Shops.” the court filing: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.325078/gov.uscourts.cand.325078.1.0.pdf?et=editorial&bu=Law&cn=20180413&src=EMC-Email&pt=Skilled%20in%20the%20Art Seems like Huddleston has a pretty good case, especially regarding their patent and copyrights. Is the little guy going to be able to stand up to the mighty BPS? I hope so.

Yes, an option to pause comes up on the screen. It’s either the top left or right button

Hatch 5+ Sage Motive 6 Hatch 7+ Scott Meridian 8 Love them both?

I suggest jerkbaits for blind casting, jigs or dropshot for sight fishing beds. A prop bait will work but if you have one day to fish, stick with something that’s going to produce more numbers. Color doesn’t matter.

Your only chance on the West coast might be Naples. You’re better off making the two hour trip to Ft. Lauderdale or Miami.

Small jerkbaits, crankbaits, and topwater. They will be on beds in Miami by February so small jigs and dropshot baits will work well too. Any color will work but the brighter varieties match local exotics.
