Maxximus Redneckus

Made in america is great id rather spend 150 on redwings that can be re-soled for about 8 yrs then spend 50 a yr on boots that last a yri

Im a diehard abu fan i own 60+ i also own shimano daiwia quatum bps rapala reels .i never had any pribs with anything i own.and use them all saltwater and fresh. As long as we know how to tie a great knot .thats all that matters .enough said

Older baitcasters from the big 3 ..some are japan made high quality also .ardent used to make them here and i have quite a few plfeugers made in usa that still work perfect .(knuckle busters)

Ugly stik gx2

I dont care what pros use ..all i know is i use both spinning and casting and proficiate with both and each has a time and place .i see many ppl say they dont use spinning anymoore like they are trying to set a status symbol to other anglers .all i care about is catchin fish .not about impressing others.fish on dudes. Btw spinnings reels have stronger drags then baitcasters some 4000 size ones have 40 lbs of drag .

Hardhead

Thick line = abrasion resistance.... has nothing to do with fish size. And sharp teeth

Black 6 inch lizarrd can be modified a lot of ways top too bottom

A c4 4600 on a 6'6" lightning shock is my froggin/heavy cover rod ,,has 15lb yo zuri with no probs

I open mine up and saturate mine with rem oil.let um sit for a while then wipe down any that leaks out.it may be over kill but mine do double duty with saltwater .and make sure you grease the spool shaft and a light oil on bail and roller.

Try a c3 in 4600 size all i use for crankin 5.1 ratio

Pointlookout down my way is giving me up some rock.i use spooks on top with a moving tide and squid

Id rather have a paddle yak i can put it in anywhere .im about versitility not luxuries

Its like oreos ..they gotta be the realdeal you can tell the differance just by scent

You will get 100s of opinions mine is a abu c3 in the 4600 size.bulletproof workhorse reels

Your on the right path when you do the spool make a few and send me one for testing..and yes tinker all u can keep us informed

Lol i can put my side plate from a 6500 onto my 4600 and have a thumbbar and a push button with a clicker ..i love me some abus..and oldschool makes me drool .show these dudes what your working with oldschool

What Raul said its about rod action line size and make sure u lightly oil your bearings and pawl

Depends what the fish want i seen um just want it twitched to really fast or used like a popper

Yourcorrect about iar easier/cheaper to replace the dog then a new side cover .in reality iar is over hyped .i only see a need for it when using jigs and t rigged worms ..imo

Yuuup they work good search bait.

Never heard of a spring in the pawl

Sharp hooks ,,,and as long as you dont highstick the rod youll be fine and set your drag

No the iar is built into the newer models side plate .there may be a extra dog you can put into it if it has a post for it.but unlikely.it will serve you well as a catfish reel or a swimabait reel if you dont mind 11.oz

Yes indeed restore it .many upgrades i dont have links now but the abu possee will chime in shortly ..btw you stole that reel yeeeehaww
