To Use Swivels Or Not To Use Swivels? That Is The Question
A very good reason NOT to use swivels. Retying often is a "good practice".

I Am Irritated!!!
I hope you can get this worked out soon, but airing your complaint here doesn't do you much good. From FAQs: I have a dispute with 'company X'. Can I post about it here? While we can empathize with your frustration, the best course of action is deal directly with the company. Escalate it up the ladder, file a grievance with PayPal or Ebay (if they were involved with the transaction). File a mail fraud complaint with the post office. There are other options, but attacking the company in a public forum is not appropriate nor allowed. Such posts will be removed. Good luck. This thread is closed. -Kent

Rod Selection: The Basics
Gosh, there is no limit to what you can do with spinning tackle, from bream to yellowfin tuna! For me, spinning tackle is all about finesse. Primarily I fish soft plastics and live bait with spinning gear. For everything else I like the feel and functionality of baitcasting equipment. My basic rig is a 2500 size reel, 7' MF rod and #4 or #6 line. Specifically this is my spinning gear: G.Loomis PR844S/ Stella 2500FD/ Yo-Zuri Hybrid #4 (Mostly live bait) St. Croix LES70MF/ Stella 2500FE/ Tatsu #6 (This is my primary rig) St. Croix Avid AVS66MLF/ Stella 1000FA/ Hybrid #4 (Trout, white bass & bream)

Me, too! However, my #1 bait for deep water structure is the Rage Tail Thumper (bluefleck), T-rigged.

Zebco Omega Issue
Send it in to Zebco. They may fix it, but I suspect they will just replace the reel.

Spinnerbait Skirt Issue.
I replace the skirts on new spinnerbaits. I have never had a lure that outlasted the skirt.

Need Help Choosing Flip/pitch/punch Reel?
Here's mine: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing_lures/pinnacle-optimus-xlt-dhc-review.html Several more listed below the article.

Rod Selection: The Basics
The simple answer is #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid on baitcasters, #6 Y-Z Hybrid on spinning tackle. Other suggestions for baitcasters include Kanzan #50 direct or with #20 Tatsu leader. #20 Tatsu or AbrazX for fluorocarbon only. Although I generally recommend #6 Hybrid, I use mostly #4 on spinning gear. However, not everyone would be comfortable with that choice. I also use Tatsu #6. Lots of guys like braid, too. I have experimented, but it's not for me.

St. Croix Avs69Mlxf
I think the AVS68MXF is a better choice and a rod I recommend often! This rod has more range.
