Recommendations on reel backing?
Straight 50 lb Sufix 832 braid tied to spool holes no backing no leaders. Braid backlashes less and is easier to get a backlash out of and does get damaged .

Which rod
If you take it apart and screw it up it's not warranty.

Micro Guides on baitcasting rods.
I agree with this completely. I will never use regular guides again. Micro guides cast further and are lighter.

Which rod
Every 13 fishing rod I ever had the tips snapped off of.

What is your all time sleeper baitcaster?
Those were nice. I had one. I sold it when reels got smaller.
-
Is this this a good deal?
It's a saltwater model. At that length and being medium moderate I'd say crankbaits mostly. The reel looks like a cheap Abu though I may be wrong. I would save my money and start with a bps Carbonlite combo 68 to 7 ft mh.

Am I the only idiot that didn’t know this?
Lew's externally adjustable centrifugal systems would be right up your alley.

Yes but like happened to you your lack of knowledge caused you months of grief you didn't need.Maybe you missed the trophy of your life picking out backlash.

Braking system is probably the most important feature of a reel.

Reel for 20+ ft cranksbaits
Spray the ring with Teflon lube spray . It goes on wet and drys leaving a Teflon coating that lasts longer and casts further. I'd get the bb1 in my humble opinion.

LOL !!! All reels have different style brakes. That's the first thing is to know what kind you have.

Instagram video
What is with these Instagram videos showing Favorite reels with multicolored braid being casted right at the point of total backlash? I don't get it. I must be old or stupid or both. Are we trying to see how far we can go before we pick it out ? Somebody please explain them to me. Also why are 99 percent of them Favorite reels and what's up with them all having multicolored braid ?

That's funny because he's fished with some of the pros.

Jigging with Spoons.
Depends what the spoon weighs. Baitcasting only for jigging spoons.

Tongue hooked a fish, TONS of blood
I've heard 7 up stops the bleeding. I've also pulled them behind my rowboat slowly and the bleeding stops. Have no idea why.
