Fishing Tips
More Drag for your small Reels
Thanks to Baitrunner.
To get a few more drag pounds out of you Penn star drag reels
replace the fiber washer that sits under the main gear with a drag
washer (HT100, not the metal type). Really easy to do, just slide
your main gear and the drag stack off the sleeve and replace the
fiber washer that sits under the main gear on the ratchet with the
drag washer. You may need to trim it down it down a bit so it
doesn't affect the works of the dog/ratchet.
Adds a nice boost to the lock down
capabilities of the smaller Penn reels.
Extra Spools for your Spinning Reels. Pre-Rig Them.
If you use a super-braid line with Fluorocarbon leader, it makes
sense to me to have several pre-rigged spare spools for your reel.
If you loose a leader, it is a heck of a lot easier and faster to
change spools than to re-rig on the boat.
Prevent Reel Rash
With Bungees
A strategically located Bungee cord
can be used to hold your rods in place while running. They will
keep your reels from sliding across the deck. Ball
Bungees really work well in this
application. It takes only seconds to secure your rods when you
get ready to run.
