I left my 50 completely stock. It's a cool little reel. Love fishing with it.

I like the idea of that bigger handle.

Thank you. Most of my bass fishing is done in 10 feet of water or less, so I generally go with the lighter weights.

I am slowly expanding my rod collection, buying new rods when I can get them at good discounts. I recently ordered a Dobyn's 704C Glass, my first crankbait rod, at 20 percent off. Love those deals. The St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass 7-foot, MH XF casting rod is available in the Bargain Room (old m...

Which Dobyns rod would be better for throwing Wiggle Warts, the 704C Glass or the 705C Glass? Warts weigh 3/8 ounce and are rated as running 8-17 feet deep.

I also use a lot of 2.5-inch and 3-inch Super Spots and Rattle Traps, mostly around timber and in open water.

I checked the Boca website and saw that they have a two-bearing set and a five-bearing set. Do you replace all the bearings in the reel or just the spool bearings? I should learn how to clean and service my own reels. From what I've read in the archives, swapping out the spool bearings and drag wash...

I have a Chronarch 50 MG that I bought on clearance a few years ago, and I've never even put line on it. Before I do, I'm thinking of adding a better, longer handle, and better bearings. Do you have any other suggestions? And where would be a good place to send it for the work? Do we have a sponsor ...

I've been using Atomic carp bait all my life, and it hasn't hurt me any.

That's neat. Thanks!

Dumb question: If you demo four reels for a week and then send three of them back, does TW still sell the three demo reels as new?

I'm really enjoying throwing light spinnerbaits with a Conquest 50.

I've been registered since October 2007 and have purchased a couple of reels here but have never sold anything. I'd like to sell a couple of reels now, so I'd appreciate a couple of good comments!

Thanks,
Bill

One of those two Dobyns rods will have to be my next rod purchase.
