I wanted to replace the bearings in a Lew's LFS reel that I have.  I have never been happy with how it casts and figured it was worth giving new bearings a shot.  I got the Hedgehog Air Ceramics and in my limited yard-test, I am impressed.  I did some casting and pitching before the switch and marked my average distances and tested again afterwards.  Casting was improved easily 10-15' doing just a light flick of the wrist cast. Pitching was less improved, but it was super windy out and I hope I can improve on it with time.  

I also wanted to investigate a sticking handle knob on my PX68.  Unfortunately, tearing it down reviled a lot of light rust on all four bearings and a slight burr on the offending shaft.  I cleaned and lightly oiled everything, but there was little improvement.  I guess I am going to replace them as well.  

Keep us posted on your pitching differences I also have an lfs that I am not happy with, maybe I'll upgrade my bearings aswell.

I have been looking for a Rebel ball cap for quite a while and I finally found one. I also bought a set of Rebel Deep wee r's circa 1980, give or take a year, in the flat finish. The more I see of these types of baits the more I like them.

 

That hat is awesome. Nice find.

that Metan Green Shooter is Awesome line !!!

my t3 ballistic came in over the weekend 

My TW black Friday order came in this morning.

Re-upped my hook supply a little and got some wacky hooks to try.  I have never really given the wacky worm a fair shake, so I am going to fish it until I loose both those packs of hooks or start catching.  I picked up OMDT jigs to give them a try, I picked up some of their EWG shakyhead jigs over the summer to use in a non-lead lake I fish and was impressed with them, especially for the price.  

Reel and treble covers, how exciting!

Got some new lines to try and finally decide to try some actual leader line instead of just using left over Hybrid.   I don't know why I bought so much line, all my current reels have fresh line on them.....

Oh, I guess that's why.  Some how some reels suck into my cart.

Picked up a Ci4+ 1000 and a SV 105HS.  The Ci4 is going on my finesse spinning rod and the SV on a ML casting rod I picked up last month.  

Already threw some YZH on both to give them a test before I spool up the fancy lines, I am thinking the Seaguar Finesse on the Ci4 and the Shooter on the SV.  The 832 is going on my old finesse combo reel, which is getting bumped up to my M spinning combo.  

Now it just needs to stop raining!

Some of my stuff with TW was on backorder so i'm still waiting on that, but here's most of it. 

 

Had a triple score at DSG today. Best deal was due to a price match my wife got $60 off a North Face winter coat, I got 4 bags of senkos for the price 2 with SK a Banshee RES were 3 bucks, and this put my points over so I get 10 bucks free now.
