New Reel Tip
Since some folks got new baitcast reels for Christmas-myself included-here is a tip that will allow you to cast farther and easier than they will right out of the box:
Take the side opposite the handle off and remove the bearing. Then remove the spool and take off the cast control knob off and remove the bearing from under it. Put the bearings in lighter fluid for a few minutes and swirl them around, remove them, dry them off, and then reinstall them and oil them. The bearings are packed with grease from the factory, and they will turn much better after cleaning. Put the bearing on the point of a pencil before you clean it and spin it. Then repeat after you clean it and you will see a huge difference. This is the first thing I do when I get a new reel and it makes a big difference.
