Squarebill Crankbait Rod Suggestions...???
Powell endurance 6’10 mf is what I’m using for cranking squarebills, the new composite blanks offer that sensitivity plus plenty of give that glass offers.

How heavy a bait can I throw?
I think the reason you might have this concern is that you have the cranking model and those blanks tend to be fairly moderate, well really moderate , imo but you should still be perfectly fine with the 90 and the 75 no problem.

Will a 1/0 EWG work with a 5 inch senko?
If all you have to work with for now is a 1/0 hook just shorten your senko about an inch and a half. Should be fine.

Lew's Tournament Pro G vs. Shimano Curado K
I would go with the k both reels are solid. Both have their positives and negatives. Tuff choice?

How to catch cautious Bluegills?
Fishing is a tuff gig in LA where you fishing echo park ? Theirs catfish in their hot dogs are good bait. Lake balboa has some small bass but huge carp you can catch them on flour tortillas:) no joke that’s the bait of choice in that lake or drive up to castaic not that far about hour and a half?

I was told Shimano is the only spinning reel under $100 whose bearings won't rust - is this true?
Do you really? Well junk compared to what you get from other spinning reels in that same price range. Here’s a picture of mine a week before I put it on eBay because it not only flexes but the seals are not up to par. Where’s a picture of yours? Hopefully you don’t put up a stock photo of some random internet pic? looks pretty but it’s not worth 100 bucks bro I’m sorry it’s smooth but it’s wobbly. Even the new Diawa legalis is better.

Do you ever get used to split grips?

Proper maintenance of a reel?
?lol well not exactly like that! I rinsed it let it dry then sprayed it down let it dry then opened up the reel cleaned it wiped it all down, (not complete tear down) and put a drop of oil on the bearings and lubed the worm gear. But yeah im sending it out but not till November surprisingly the reels are still extremely smooth and in good operation. I actually send DVT an email and got some information from him.

Proper maintenance of a reel?
I’ve been warned about taking apart a 16 stradic if I’ve never done it before and every Time I brake down a baitcaster on my own I mess something up so I don’t do it anymore. I thought a rinse and a drenching in reel magic plus drops on the bearings, grease on the worm gear, without braking down the reel would be sufficient. Having thought about it now I don’t think that was enough? Hence the crying emoji ?

Proper maintenance of a reel?
What is the proper maintenance of a reel after it gets dunked? Both spinning and baitcasters? Pls some one weigh in in the basics? I’ve had both a spinning reel and baitcaster fall in the water this year besides hosing it down when I got home and spraying it down good with reel magic, drops of oil on the baitcasters bearing that’s all I did? ? I think I should have done more!!!

Did I blow out my reel?
It’s worth fixing.

I dont think he knows what he’s talking about shimanos spinning reels under a hundred dollars are pretty crappy in my opinion, and trust me I’ve hade a few of them even the nacsi at 100 bucks is junk I had that one to, your way better off with your abu Garcia.

Im bias to shimano and diawa bro but that is a solid buy it should last you many years if you maintain it and they are smooth reels.

Yes that’s me zipping my lip before I say something stupid. In all reality I have no experience with the Revo x I did have an Stx spinning reel that served me well for about two and a years I gave it to my brother in law and I think he’s still using it.
