Shimano Baitrunner 8000D. Dropped in salt water. Do I need to open and clean?

Soak in fresh water, drain and blow out then remove handle and spool spray wd 40. It should be fine. Shimano is a good tight reel.

Monofilement shelf life

It appears that many people are going to braid now with a mono or flouro leader; which one is best and whats a good knot to connect them?

What is the shelf life of monofilement fishing line (still on spool) and does the brand really matter?

Boat question

The pump just running is not enough! Does it pump is what you want to confirm! And the only way to do that is to put water in the bilge and see it yourself . Good luck, be safe.

How many ball bearings?

Jake I have to say that I agree with your first sentence;however Taking care of your reels is an absolute must as Huntem22 said However; iTS NOT THE NUMBER OF BEARINGS. That can really mislead you. for example look at the really expensive reels and what the gearing is made of. YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE OVER TIME. Like you I have purchased many reels and was schooled by a pro. Im sure that there are some knowlegable pros on this site. There are some very affordable quality reels made these days you just have to do your homework.

How many ball bearings?

FS Digest wrote:

Hello lads, would ball bearing be importante when im learning? Getting a new spinning reel, and i can see that big brands like Shimano or Penn, use 2 or 3 ball bearings, then you find others brand with 6, 7 and even 11+1 ball bearings. Is that important when im choosing a new reel for learning?

Thank you all for your help!

Great question . There are a couple of things to consider . Fresh or saltwater? Most good reels have more bearings that are made of stainless because they dont " PIT " once the bearings pit they start wearing out the race. Thats why if you do a lot of fishing ;its better to purchase a Good reel 'ONCE" rather than end up buying a reel every other year. Ultimately you actually save money AND not have to fight the reel as well as the fish.

Types of boat trailers

Barnacles wrote:

Some boat trailers have bunks, and some have rollers. What are the pros and cons of each, why would you choose one type over the other? What are your thoughts?

Ive had both( small boat and 25 ft and in my opinion Bunk is the way to go. They are easier to launch and retrieve. You have replace rollers which are expensive. They wear out and fall off. if the bunks are aligned properly they will guide the boat up to the bow stop. There is a lot of hardware and maintenance associated with rollers.
Hope this helps.

Fishing for Red snapper on the east coast

Thanks SCLI I did the same thing that you did. I went to Coco beach and we must have caught 30 or 40 and they were all nice size but could not keep any. I dont want to make that mistake again. I use to go to the Grand Strand fishing tourn in Myrtle Bch SC and really enjoyed catching a variety of snapper and others but really enjoy the reds.
