I can't remember the number exactly. The biggest reason for me was to let the rod load a little better and so my line to braid knot flowed a little better.

Ricky's short answer was no as long as you don't over use it and let the chemical seep inside the reel excessively. 

Bait finesse system! Ricky did give a pretty in-depth explanation about it. It's basically bait casters with complex bearing and brake technology so you can cast light lures.

These are all things I deal with daily!!! I get it. I’ll get some people on here to talk about that soon!!!

I want to have some kayak pros on here. I can offer my advice but I only use them in the fall and summer. I don’t think it’s much different but that’s my experience.

Right on man! Is that in Florida!!! Can you send me a email to brianlatimerpr@gmail.com I want to send you gift

Believe it or not we actually are still floating!!!

I’ve literally never thrown one. Tell me everything about it!

Zack I have one too! I carry my kayak in my Lowe to get in silly places some times

I don’t ever stop fishing……. Except august. August sucks
