I use mono on my spinning gear. I just tried braid and have a situation. With mono when I secure my line to the hook keeper it has some stretch in it to keep my line taught. With braid my line has a mind of it own. It’s loose and tangles with other things close to it. How do you secure your lure whe...

If you have a tackle shop near by, ask them if they can recommend someone local that cleans reels.
Just say’in.

Thank you

Nice, thank you.

How about an update. Thank you.

Happy b-day Dan. I am 70 and I can still do the things I used to do at 40. Maybe, sort of, kind of, oop's got to go, "nap time".

I fish the Susqy, north and south of Harrisburg, and my go to rod is a St Croix Avid X spinning, in a 6'6" Med.. I like it better than the regular Avid. Enough back bone to pull them smallies out of the current seams and still have fun doing it. If I was fishing from shore I would probably up the le...

These two rods used to be compared all the time back when the ltb came out. I've owned old mbr imx's and ltb's, but not the spinning ltb.
