Re: spinning reel anti-reverse bearings lube?
I tried two drops of Hot Sauce, Quantum's oil, and the bearings slip.
I'm frustrated. I'm used to bearings jamming and siezing up, not being too loose.

Re: spinning reel anti-reverse bearings lube?
I'll soak the bearings in acetone today and clean them. Then just a drop of light oil, and see if that helps.

spinning reel anti-reverse bearings lube?
I have several older Quantum spinning reels.
They sat for a long time.
Now the anti-reverse bearing doesn't engage, and I have to back reel all the time.

Re: Cal using a snap with the Smoothie
Thanks. I usually tie directly to my swimbaits, but use split rings or snaps on my cranks and topwaters, to get more action. It never occured to me that adding a snap or split ring would enhance the action on my swimbaits, too. Doh!!!! And it is much easier to tie on a snap with a palomar knot than ...

Cal using a snap with the Smoothie
Cal,
I noticed you used a snap when you fished the Smoothie, but Zander didn't.
Is there a reason you used a snap?
