  1. Boca Bearings Go to Fabricland and get some sewing machine oil... $10 and a bottle will last you a life time. Best thing for your bearings.
  2. How long did you soak them for? If overnight, you've got your answer, lol.
  3. Lew, it's time to update that sig!
  4. One drop of sewing machine oil per bearing is all you need. Any excess oil will only attract dirt/grime.
  5. I've got living proof right here folks! LOL!
  6. Baitcast rigs are great for big flows, but try and use them in slow frogwater and you'll pull your hair out.. Time and place for everything..
  7. Float is on the shot line.
  8. I think you meant to post this in the classifieds
  9. As long as it was frozen, it will be good for years. I've used 2-3 year old roe without issue after defrosting.
  10. I run 2 swivels in my rig. Nanofil to swivel to shot line to swivel to leader. I haven't lost a float in a loooong time with this setup.. Unless there is a nick in my mainline, the leader/shot line always pops first.
  11. As long as the reel doesn't get wet, it won't freeze up. Although if it does, it will be a block of ice.. Happens to the guys on the rivers in the winter float fishing...
  12. Funny, I saw that exact reel on the river today. Nice meeting you man, get those bearings replaced and that thing will spin forever.
  13. Swivel above the float, slip floats, Wallis cast or using braid are all ways to avoid line twist. I run a swivel above my float with braid, no line twist issues ever....
  14. No thanks... Only time I wander down that was is in the spring with the Lund to chase fish off Port Weller
  15. Interesting.
  16. It's not even Halloween yet man, lol! October isn't known to be a killer month for chrome..
  17. It's Lake Ontario, it could be anything.
  18. The border guards aren't smart enough to ID the fish anyhow.. I've never been bothered about it.
  19. I've never seen anyone step on a fish before to milk it... That would be something to see.
  20. It is when you can go down to the cleaning stations in August and get pounds and pounds of it for absolutely nothing.
  21. Sounds like Florida is going to be the ticket. Make sure you come back with a full report!
  22. LOL!!!! That's hilarious... Ask to see their permit.
  23. Alaska for pike? Too much WFN I think :)
  24. EcoBoost gets about the same mileage as the V8 unfortunately. I'm sure Ford is pulling their hair out over that.
