I have been using Chevron Supreme to clean my bait cast reel after fishing. It cleans the level wind and I use it to lubricate the handles on the reel. It is noticeable that after I do this it casts smoother and a bit farther. And when having it in there it keeps the reel noticeably cleaner while using it too.
The bait cast reel is a Shimano Chronarch 100mg that I think it a bit over 20 years old. The pole is a Quantum IM 8 that I got 27 years ago. That pole has great feel / sensitivity still to this day. I am using Sunline Natural monofilament 12 pound test line. Great casting with it and has great feel and sensitivity. I got the lady a brand new Shimano Intenza for $150 that is a bit more sensitive than my pole. But not way more sensitive. It is a great pole too. I can still use my pole and I like it a whole lot. It has some sentimental value as that pole was the one I caught my citation large bass on my birthday in 9/11/2001 with my dad there…
Been having some good luck using a few artificial lures at the local creek. The Rapala DT 6 and another one called ICON lures have had strong success.. Today I caught the biggest largemouth bass to date… Nearly 3 pounds. … that fish hit hard when I let the Rapala DT-6 float backwards for nearly 3 seconds. Thank goodness I had a strong grip on the pole when that fish hit. It hit really strong.
