Re: Ceramic bearings for reels
I just ordered some ceramic bearings for a bunch of Fin-Nor Ahab #12/#8 reels I came across, and I am fairly excited about putting them in. Has anyone else had any experience with them in their reels? There is some good info at http://www.bocabearings.com/ although they are a bit pricey. I ordered ...

I have seen WalMart sell a lower cost model that was similar to the national model for less, but usually the model name/number is different and usually looks a little different. I do not think Shimano would sell a cheaper version of the Stradic to Walmart because if it was not as good and people sta...

I was thiking with the cold weather the trout would stack up in holes in the rivers? With all the rain we have had the freshwater will keep them out of the rivers. Trout can not tolerate as much freshwater as redfish. Also, from reports in the past few years there has been a rather low number of tr...

We used pinfish, being thats what we caught, but I would imagine mullet or other would be find too. I also used a pigfish (thats what I call them) once for live bait ...

Keaton Beach 11/5 - 11/6 Oh Yeah!!
Went for a weekend end trip of some flats fishing out of Keaton Beach. After a late start on Saturday (don't ask, boat problems that were supposed to have been fixed by the boat mechanic) we hit the water at about 1:30 pm. We start off throwing some jigheads and grubs but with little luck. I pull ou...

Cran and leonreno it just sohappens I was killing time this afternoon and took the hooks off of a Redfin. Couldn't decide what size to put back on. Any suggestions? It depends on the size of lure, and the hook manufacturer. But usually in the size #4 to 1/0. For lures like the skitterwalk and other...

I will replace the hooks on my topwaters if I am fishing where a lot of grass is floating on the surface. Single kahle style hooks work good to help keep the grass of the hook and hook-ups seem to be as good with trebles. Once I switch one over I will usually not switch the hooks back even with no g...

I usually use a three to four foot leader when starting and if I tie a palomar knot if the lure is a single hook lure like a jig, spoon or bare hook. But if its a treble hook lure or a lure that is real long then I use the trilene knot because its easier to tie on a boat with bulky lures, and it use...

Econfina 9/17
Got to ramp about 8:30, and WOW! the water was LOW!! We (My Father-In-Law and I) put the boat in and SLOWLY idled down the river. The lowest tide I have ever seen their but we made it out safely at idle speed. Fishing was slow and sporadic at first, we would catch one every 15 - 25 minutes. Then abo...

From what I have read about this policy is that most other reels have the same policy, especially for their high end lines. To me its not ant-competitive, because those same reels compete with numerous other brands. If I sold things like that, I would not want one of my retailers constantly under pr...
