I am about to fish a tournament, so I don’t have time to get this reel fixed professionally. The problem is that the bail wire keeps snapping out of the hole on the side the line runs through. If nothing else, is it safe to superglue it back in?
Thank you

Don’t watch the quiver tip, instead point the rod down the line, then engage the bait runner facility on the reel. Adjust the bait runner tension to what you require then clip a bobbin onto your line between reel and the first rod ring.
When a fish takes, your bobbin rises and the bait runner allows line to be taken from the reel. Pick up your rod, wind the reel handle to disengage baitrunner mode and lift into the running fish. FISH ON!
Tight Lines

Can anyone tell me anything about this rod? Like what does the I.G.F.A. 50 stand for? Or how many pounds the reel can take?. The rod says Coastal with a boat in front of the word Coastal. The reel says Shimano SPOOL F4 12/311,14/255/,17/220. Does that mean the minimum line test is 12lbs and max is 17? Or is this just a guide line. Also does that work well with this particular rod. And it came with line on it,but i don’t know how old it is. Should i just replace.
Please help with any info you have.
Oh yeah just in case this matters. I’m fishing in New York,Far Rockaway in Salt water. In bays and off the rocks at the beach.
I here most people are catching Bluefish and Striped Bass.

I looked at cabelas.com and basspro.com, and they don’t have listings for that reel. I suggest you try ebay, or try emailing Shimano. They could probably help you out.

Put Spiderwire on and hang on!

Take it apart, clean out the dirt, sand and debris, put a little white grease on the gears and oil everything else.

This question is probably more of a poll on your opinion.
I am based in the Pacific Islands and we can get some sinister fish hook ups.
I use Shimano equipment for Landbased Game Fishing and Penn for My Offshore Sport Fishing.
Some people say just pick one or the other!
I’m quite fond of the Penn HT100 Drag System. I think it is vastly superior in stopping power and life to the Shimano.
What are your findings?

i cannot open the schematics so if anyone that can could please open the link than save it so it is a picture than email it to me, please it would be much appreciated. d.thmetal@hotmail.com or d.thmetal@yahoo.com thanks heaps
