How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
So what is the ideal amount? There needs to be some gap between the edge of your spool and the outer layer of your line. The normal recommendation is 1/8 inch gap and this does work in most cases.
It`s rare that you`ll need more than 100 yards but 150 will definitely keep you covered! You can do a monofilament backing if 150 yards of braided line is not enough to fill up the spool. There may be times that you hook into a bigger fish that`s cruising the shallows.
I would recommend using anywhere between 30 and 50-lb braided line on a 3500-size spinning reel.
Line Capacity (lb. test/yds): MONO: 4/160, 6/110, J-BRAID: 6/220, 8/150.
Line choice for spinning gear
Of the two, braided line is superior on a spinning reel. It is small in diameter, casts far, has no stretch, is incredibly strong, is extremely durable, and, most importantly, has virtually no line memory. All of these attributes make braided line a dream come true for spinning gear.
You can, but the reel will not hold as much line, and you will not get the casting distance you would with 15 lb test line.
We recommend using 20-30Lb braid for if you are site casting to redfish or fishing with artificials. With 20-30Lb braid you should not have a problem catching even the biggest of redfish. Braid is EXCELLENT for red fishing. Braid has excellent castability and very little stretch with makes for great redfish hook sets.
As a general guideline, here are some recommendations based on your preferred fishing techniques: 8- to 20-pound test: Best on spinning reels for finesse fishing such as drop shots, shaky heads, Ned rigs, Neko rigs and similar lightweight techniques.
Braid is incredibly sensitive and has virtually no stretch, which makes it ideal for fishing small lures in even windy conditions. 10lb to 15 lb braid has an incredibly thin diameter, which makes it perfect for finesse tactics.
It depends on your definition of 80lb. If this is your PE main line rating (PE8), then the reel will need to be in the 14000 – 18000 size to get enough line lay on the spool. If you are referring to the leader fluro at 80lb, then your main line is probably PE3-PE4 then a 6000-8000 size reel will be the best fit.
However overfilling a reel is just as bad as not putting enough line on the reel. If there is too much line on the reel, the line may absorb water or get more brittle and take up more space on the reel. You will then have line slipping off the edge of the spool on casts and causing tangles and backlashes.
The most common reel on the market has a 6.4:1 gear ratio. This will allow you to work both fast moving presentations as well as slow. However, for certain techniques and applications, a very high or low gear ratio will often work best. For instance, burning a spinnerbait or buzzbait is best done with a 7.1:1 reel.
It should roughly match the weight of the species you are fishing for (e.g. use line in the 30-pound test for tuna in the 30-pound range). A typical line to cast for trout would be 4-pound test. Consider braided line of 30-pound test or more if you go after large game fish.
The higher the pound test, the stronger the line. For trout fishing, for example, one might use a 4- or 6-pound test line. For bass/walleye/northern pike fishing, use 8-pound test and up.
In freshwater, a 4-12 lb test is standard. For small trout and sunfish, a 4 lb test is okay. For bass or general freshwater fishing, 6-8 lb test is the norm. In saltwater, 12-15 il test is standard when using light tackle for smaller species, while 17-20 lb test allows you to target bigger fish.
Many anglers simply use the wrong size of line for their reel. It is important to go by the manufacturer`s recommendation. Using a line that does not fit the reel can inhibit performance and cause tangles and casting issues.
J-Braid x4 is best used on baitcasting and conventional reels. J-Braid x8 – Is best used in freshwater and in-shore applications. x8 is 8 strands woven together at a less steep angle for smoothness. This softer line helps for using small baits and allowing better action in the water and movement of your baits.
The increased number of fibers in the 8-strand makes it stronger. And Daiwa J-Braid 8 Grand is made with the `super fiber` IZANAS. The molecular structure of this fiber is known for being 4 times more abrasion resistant than the traditional 4-strand fibers of PowerPro.
Salmon, steelhead trout, bluefish, and redfish can all be caught using lines on the lower end of this range with 20-30 pound test lines. On the higher end, black sea bass, striped sea bass, mahi-mahi, fluke, cobia, tarpon, and mackerel need braid test weights of closer to 50 pounds.
20lb braid`s break strength is really like 40-50 pounds (depending on diameter), so you really don`t need to go super heavy for bass. I once got snagged using 20lb braid in a river. I ended up pulling and entire tree stump out of the water, line never broke.
The 6 Lb test strength is great for targeting multiple species. It`s light enough to pull in a pile of Panfish, and heavy enough to get your Largemouth Bass dockside. However, when you get more specialized a lighter test (2-4 Lb.) for Panfish and a heavier test (8-12 Lb.)
Step 1: Put 100-150 yards of braid on your spinning reel. This won`t be the spool you use on the water, so it doesn`t matter what kind of knot you use to tie the braid to the arbor (I just taped it on).
Braided fishing line colors are broken down into high-visibility or low-visibility categories. Bright yellows, greens, pinks, and whites round out the most common high-visibility varieties, while hues of greens and grays tend to blend best with the water and cover.
80lb Spectra is a multi purpose line and when spooled on to a 9/0 Penn game fishing reel or better can be used for big game fishing.

How to I fix a spin casting reel?
ANSWER : You should be able to remove the spool by removing the knob on the front of the reel which also is the drag adjustment. With the knob off the spool should pull right off. Hope this helps you

Penn Spin Reel will not lock after casting
ANSWER : On the front of the spool there is a device to turn to set the drag. Torn it tighter and tighten it until slightly below the breaking point of your fishing line. It isn’t a critical adjustment, it just keeps your line from breaking while trying to land a fish.

I have the Intex Sand/Pump pool filter Model SF 20110. It’s been running real great for the last 4 months. However recently it has been tripping the internal overloads and I have found the pump motor to be very hot when I put my hand against it. I have tried several different solutions, such as a level ground platform that was clear of any obstructions, made sure that the motor vents under the motor was clear of anything that would prevent air flow. I used a non electrical type of lubricate on the impeller. When I would turn on the pump the rotor would not turn but only would hum very loudly and then slowly begin to turn. I also noticed that the motor’s rotor shaft would not turn to freely due the tightness around the rotor’s shaft. After using the lubricate the shaft would turn a little easier. I used an amp meter on the incoming voltage line and the motor would run at 4.5 amp. And yet it still overheated and tripped the motor overloads. I can only think that the motor is still not getting enough ventilation. I have check and cleared all the incoming lines and found nothing block the pumps input or output lines. Any suggestion?
ANSWER : I just looking into this issue my self. The pump cools itself by a internal fan, which is run by the motor. Well I took the housing cover off to find out all the fan blades have broken off and were setting in the base of the pump. Once you remove the fan blades from covering the air intake, it might be fine. I will find out my self once summer gets here.

Does not flip arm to lock to reel in line – Shakespeare Agility Spinning Reel 6825
ANSWER : Normally when you **** the bail, the reel allows you to discharge the line with a flip of the wrist. Then when you touch the crank and execute half a turn it releases the bail to lock the line and allow you to reel in. If this action is not happening, then the release pawl is stuck and holding the bail in place. You must disassemble the reel, clean the parts and re-assemble with proper lubrication. Checking the parts for wear replace all worn parts.

Need a Popeil Pocket fisherman manual
ANSWER : For the original pocket fisherman. I believe the design has not changed. Once you do it the first time it is actually quite easy.Two things to note. Read this whole thing first.1) the location of the bail spring (Keeps the metal bail cover up so line does not get stuck when casting.Note: This is important cause the metal bail cover must rise enough so that the line casts smoothly. (A complaint about this product. But when calibrated correctly it is quite good for what it is)2) The little **** that the crank gear plastic housing will fit into (Must be on top when you put the whole bail back in. The crank shaft lip fits into that ****.You’ll get it when you see it.Remove the panel screws (2) as you did. Pop out the crank shaft (copper). **** is in top when replacing. (remember that). Remove the bail. On the top of the bail there is a screw. ( becareful and remember how the little metal bail spring in situated here. Turn upside down with metal bail cover in your palm as it conects to the bail spring). Pull off metal bail cover. The plastic line holder actually comes apart and holds a lot more line than you think. Replace line. Feed the line back up the rod. Assemble the opposite.
