Don’t be afraid to fire up the ol soldering iron and put some heat on those death screws. Had to do that on one stubborn screw the other day even with Wera precisions.
Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.

Re: Was Braided Line a Game Changer for You?

I use white braid a lot. I just color the last 5-6' of the line with a black sharpie and it hasnt affected my catch rate with bottom contact baits. Interesting. I'll try that. Thanks. I kinda like the white braid, because it is definitely easier to see. But, I just didn't get as many bites with slo...

Re: What Other Species Have You Caught by Accident?

Why is it than when you hook into a big fish, there's usually a crowd of people start to gather about or some nosy fishermen from way beyond decides to come over.

Re: What Other Species Have You Caught by Accident?

It used to be easy to compare when they had the website Tackleservice.com. The site had schematics and specs. for most Quantum reels. But when Rather bought Zebco, they dropped the website.
Bummer! Kinda like when Lowrance lost Linda Tripp as a service rep. Their service went straight downhill.
