I use the the ReelX brand of lubricants.

I just got a small handgun safe that holds 2 guns. Is it recommened to put in it any moisture absorbing packs?

Just a terrible tragedy.

When I am in a nice secluded fishing spot and hear a bunch of people walking towards me talking loudly and throwing rocks and branches in the water.

I just pick and choose what I like to read and what sparks my interest.

I just started to use KK Tripolymer line. "Fish simply won’t see TriPolymer underwater" "The advanced monofilament starts with a soft and supple Nylon 6 core, then high-tenacity Nylon 6,6 is introduced to add strength to the line. Finally, Nylon 12, the most durable nylon, is added to the TriPolymer Advanced Monofilament to give it an amazing abrasion-resisting performance. All this combined makes for a soft and supple line that can handle the toughest fishing conditions. This new monofilament is incredibly smooth, so reduced friction in the rod guides along with having lower memory for better casting distance and fewer issues with line twists and backlashes. Line stretch is not a big concern with the line as well. The stretch factor is approximately 30% lower than traditional monos, so expect higher sensitivity and better hook sets when fishing it. The last thing about TriPolymer Advanced Monofilament is its higher specific gravity than other monofilament lines, a specific gravity of 1.21 lets the line sink in water, letting lures and baits sink through the water column even faster."

Yes, some braids are not coated and the dye will come off.

I started to use the Red Phillips knot for braid/fc leader. Easy to tie and very small.

I use 65# on my froggin setup, need the extra strength to get out of the lily pads if snagged.

What about using a small o ring?

I always loosen mine when stored for the winter.

Been cooking them on the Traeger,

I have both...the 702 I use for my Ned rigs and the 703 I use for Jigs,Texas Rigs,Senko and Shakey Heads,

I have been using ReelX oil and grease for all my reels.

Water is either too dirty or swimming not permitted.

Depends on the reel, may be cheaper in the long run to buy new.

My first choice is the Keitechs I usually find them on sale, next the Rage Swimmer, then the Xzone Swammer

I am in the exact situation, I need to wear a hat all the time and put on sun block. Also was told not to wear a mesh hat. I have a few of the KK gaiters also their shirts with built in gaiter and hood. Skin cancer is not a joke.

I was a first responder on the Jersey shore. Drinking the night before going out in the sun and heat the next day is not a good idea. I have taken more folks to hospital who thought it was a great idea. Stay hydrated also sun and heat breaks. If you start feeling real bad seek medical attention.

Waking up starts a good day

It is cheaper then the mom and pops pizzerias, IMO it is like eating rubber.

If you never have changed the impeller it may be time to do so. Especially if you have run through some muck.

Glenn could you kindly post the link to your video, I must have missed it.

Very close to home, doesn't want to travel. That was my game plan, but was just looking for other ideas.

Got real bad on the Jersey shore, looks like dense fog.
