didnt let it dry and it got rust on the hooks and hook keeper...any recommendations to removing the rust

just notice this thread but he has ZPI custom reel parts on that reel and ZPI are Japanese and very very expensive just one piece of the handle is a little over 500

I have been playing with this reel for a couple of months now and i have to say i dont know if its me but i know for a fact i can cast further with my shimano curado than this reel

I have a couple of those but i just don't like them. In this guys video at 6:25 he uses a swimbait that looks like a really small hud and at 4:00 im kinda looking for that swimbait type

im just looking for a 4-6 inch one with the same plastic and everything that huddleston uses

Are there other companies just like Huddleston who make small swimbaits like the 68 special or even smaller?

I just bought this real and read this thread to understand how to use the reel. If your using mono filament you can use the flourocarbon setting. Here are american weight sizes to grams fyi with settings -------------------------------------------------------- 1 = 4/6 (basically 3/4)= 1 1/16 (basically 1) 2 = 3/8 = 3/4 3 = 1/4 = 3/8 4 = 1/8 = 1/4 A = 1/4 = 1 1/16 (basically 1) 4/6(between 1/2 and 3/4) -------------------------------------------------------- You can get more accurate but in all reality you wont find weights that are that specific.

Ok if you want to do it by yourself tape them to the rod and adjust them until even bend or call mudhole and ask for Todd, Adam, or Bob and they will get you a spacing

it all looks good the lube looks brand new...im starting to think that because im just so use to braid its more difficult for me to learn this different braking system

i have known how to use a baitcaster just about all my life and its a different feel like one cast will be ok and the next cast is like better or worse and ill put the same effort into both cast its like relearning how to cast a baitcaster

i normaly fish lews bb1 series with 40lb to 65 lb braid and i started to use flourocarbon and mono in the past couple of months. well today i bought a shimano curado and i put 14 lb flourocarbon and its weird to cast. the braking system is different from what i use and i have 2 inside brakes on and its set to 3.5 ish on the outside adjuster. no matter what i do i feel weird to me when i cast anything to help? should i switch it to braid than switch it to mono later on when i learn the brake system on the reel?

looking for flourocarbon with no memory

im looking for some swimbaits i can use in the kissimee chain of lakes in florida, keep in mind its basically gonna have to be weedless cause of all the hydrilla and weeds.

i live in florida they wont see braid but ill put a 20lb leader of flourocarbon if your not in murky water like florida i would use 15lb flourocarbon

so which one has the lowest memory
