You made a good point..

I hate fishing the Rockaways because you have to street park and people are watching you get out of your vehicle and break into your car... It is a rough area...

I do the same thing to store spools...

I'm not pulling your. leg... Try it ... Like you said "chum"...

What I have been doing is taking old Bunker and grinding them up in a food processor adding a cup of olive oil and about a cup of kosher salt.. I use this concoction on all my lures and baits... Now that I am still Fluke fishing I push this into my tube baits that are attached to jig heads and find it to be very productive catching everything....The older it gets the better it works, but also there is an odor ...

For price, quality and their guarantee you can't beat any Tsunami's products...

I went from mono to braid back to mono because I was getting deep lacerations when using a spinning reel on my castingfinger. Now I went back to braid but I am using a finger protector on my casting finger... On my surf set up I use 20 pound test so I can get the distance when casting...I purchase a brand by the name Proberos that cost under $10 bucks for a three hundred meter role that is 4 stranded braid... This braid is excellent for all my fishing needs... I have been using the same braid in this one reel for about two years now and it holds up well to all my fishing needs...The same company also sells 8 stranded braid that I want to try....

Very nice works of art, beautiful...

You covered all the bases .....

You are asking an excellent question.... You made me do a lot of thinking and I decided on Penn.. coincidentally most of my equipment is Penn...

Great read, all the bases were covered. Great....

Probably a previous owner drilled an oil hole to lubricate the reel so he wouldn't have to dismantle it ...

That is a great idea....

If this is so then the reel can be classified as a disposable...

When Fluke fishing and I am using lures or spoons I always change the hooks to J hooks because it is very difficult to remove a treble hook from a short fish that you have to throw back....All fish are very aggressive creatures and will attack anything that is small and moving...
