PressuredFishing

how you like your black max, I just picked one up at walmart for the hell of it, seems really nice and casts far, casts lighter lures farther than my 200 dollar revo stx.

Okay I have gotten a few recommendations for him, I will check him out, thankyou so much! Ah I have one of those, I will be sure to add them to the arsenal if I decide to tear it down myself

Okay thankyou for this, will be careful with the springs for sure Will check him out thanks!

Okay thankyou for this advice, I will have to try to take apart an older reel first, that's a good ideaq Ah I have heard of that before, I will have to try to remember that, I remember there is a convex and concave washer, like what you are talking about! It's a old abu garcia revo stx, It hasn't been cleaned in four years, maybe longer, yeah I have an old spinning reel and i took it apart and was he'll to put back together, screws ended up being too tight belive it or not

whatever the prescription eyeglass manufacturers offer, you really cant be picky

ah okay well thanks for this, I havent cleaned my baitcaster out in about 4 years so it is probably due, will have to try doing this soon.

Ah okay thankyou so much for the information! Will try this out and will try this! Thanks

Okay, do you clean the internal parts of your baitcaster? Just asking to get an idea of who does and doesn't, thanks for all the help you have given me Tom, you rock

Okay I will surely try this, that makes sense and will be a very helpful tip, thankyou! Yeah I'm definitely fishing snot grass right now, and it's real nasty with sediment and dirt, you get dirtier by trying to wash your hands in the water lol.

Wow I will have to take my reel apart then, because I spent to much for it to break down lol

Oh okay, I'll check my local tackle shop for sure! I will search YouTube to check for tutorials on how to clean, this is a good recommendation! Okay maybe I will give it a try, I have done my spinning reels on ocasion

Okay this is good to know, I just am not experienced in taking a reel apart so ik nervous lol Okay this is good to know, thankyou, I will have to learn how to take a baitcaster apart Wow that's a long life, I will have to learn how to fully take a baitcaster apart

So I clean my reels the quick way like take the sideplate and spool off and clean out the dirt and vegetation. I also grease the wormgear and oil the bearings but, do you have to clean the internal gears?? I know some people do this but why? Isn't it mostly sealed? I understand for salt but why freshwater?

Oh yes yes yes thankyou!!! This was happening to me all the time last year throwing heavier jigs and jerkbaits, I learned you have to throw hard but not Jerky and in quick motions. This is very helpful and will read, thankyou!

Wow lots of information to contemplate, thank-you for all this information!

I wish I knew too lol

Ah yes, I think I would get the XT as well over the slx because I do like svs more as you can get it fine tuned and more options for adjustment on different baits This is good information for me, I do like throwing lighter lures so it's something to think about Will check them out thanks ?

oh okay, I live in california so they are kind of getting ridiculous about this covid stuff but I will have to check, I am two hours away from the nearest one but will have to see

yeah I really should go to a bass pro and hold them and test them in my hand, do you think with COVID they will let you hold them and try them out? I would love to feel the differences

I did not know bass where not line-shy, I have been reading and I keep hearing that they are in the clearer water but maybe its just to sell the expensive fluorocarbon. I will try this, and will look into some of these line brands I hear you with the blood knot, its really a wierd knot when it comes to line size, when Im trout fishing and do 5 it will slip on 2lb test lol, but on bass if I do 5 it will do good. Im learning so much with the help of you guys, and I really appreciate it!

thats what I have heard, so so much. I use the blood knot a ton for fly fishing as well, making my tapered leaders. Its such a good knot for anything but braid. Im glad im not sounding wierd by doing mono to floro. the only time the knot has popped on me was when I was snagged.

I have fished both and I love both, to be honest the only thing I dont like about some cintrifugal breaks is you have to open the sideplate sometimes on the water. but I feel like I get better castability with cintrifugal as well. I think both are good breaking systems and I would think of both as equal.

so I fish really clear lakes but only really fish mono. I thought for finesse tequiniques would anyone fish with a floro leader to mono? I mean I do it all the time with trout fishing and mono and floro knot better than braid and floro, so I was just curious if anyone does this in clear water lakes?

nice! thats awesome to hear about the durability, I do fish quite alot so this is nice to hear!

yes yes lol, I sadly learned the hard way and it cut through like a saw
