    Reel question.

    I found an Abu 5000 in the pond behind my house. I have no idea how long its been under water. It appears to be a bit older reel and the lake is much smaller than it once was. Everything appears to work fine, but I haven't put it on a rod yet to try out. Here's my question. Should I just give it...

    Scored

    I went by Academy today to buy something that I should have bought when I was in their a month ago. Unfortunately being a clearance item they were out of it even though its not something that would normall sell well in FL especially in the summer time, even on clearance. I wanted to browse...

    Reel weight and another shimano vs daiwa

    I'm sure you guys are sick of my questions by now. The new rods I picked up on the going out of business now require reels. I'm really unsure of which way to go on my ultralite setup. The rod is a 6' St Croix Premier fast action. It seems all of the reels I look at have pretty good reviews, but...

    First baitcaster. Good choice?

    A big tackleshop was going out of business and while their prices were normally prety high, they had a pretty good sale starting yesterday. I was really looking for spinning gear since thats what I know and I know they had a few Stradics in stock a week or two ago. I ended up looking at...

    Line lb rating

    I ordered in a Sahara 1000, the website says that I can use 10lb PP line. Could I downsize to 8lb and still be ok, or do I really need to stay with the 10lb?

    Spring installation

    I just ordered new springs and hardware and all of the bolts are too long even though they are the ones that are supposed to be for my size axle and spring. Do you think it would be ok to stack up about a 1/2 worth of washers on the U-bolts and several washers or a spacer for the hanger bolt?

    Decent gear newbie

    I've just really gotten into bass fishing the past few years (mainly because I'm actually catching them now). I'm just using a cheap combo from Dicks with plastic worms. I'm wanting to get a decent setup and there seems to be some decent deals out there right now. I'll think I know what I want...

    Whats my boat rated for/good deal?

    I picked up a 1436 Landau w/trailer and a MK Enduro 30 for $200 a few days ago. The front was already decked, with locking storage under it. The deck was made out of EMT and an old street sign so it strong and doesnt add much weight. Came with a livewell, a few rodholds (just the basic cheapie...

    Springs?

    I recently bought my first boat and the trailer needs some work. I haven't even got to looking at the bearings yet to see if they need replaced because one of the leafsprings is broken. They did a rigging job of putting it together it looks like, but the rest of the trailer looks good with only...

    Newbie here with some questions

    I've lurked here off and on, but definately have the bug. I've been looking over craigslist for a deal, but haven't seen the same deals I was seeing last year. A co-worked said that he had a Wellcraft 14' (width?), with a 25hp engin (don't recall brand) and trailer he'd sell me for $1k. Seems...
