    Spinning reels

    Its mostly just the tip and I do fit ceramic tips to all my rods if it didnt come with one . Its an old hang up from my nylon days because the noise made is similar to the noise nylon made when it was rubbing against something it shouldnt be , and it reminds me of some of the crap reels I...

    Spinning reels

    I use a Penn Conflict 20 and an Abu Garcia Revos2 also in 20 size . While they are smaller reels they are solidly made and have a good drag and a reasonable bearing count . They will easily handle 6lb Rainbow Trout. I have found that a lighter weight set up is easier on the wrist . One...

    Car door panel

    Towing friends boat damage

    I would imagine "full responsibility " would fall on the operator. I guess too that there might be some question as to why the hitch came off in the 1st place . Can you get the repair done and hand him the bill leaving it up to him how he recovers the loss. Once he has accepted liability (...

    Mercury 3.5hp 2012 outboard hard to start due to over compression? Cause? How to fix?

    They are not hard to strip . A good service manual is the 1st tool you should buy . I have never owned a ring spreader and I havnt broken a ring for 45 years , and you can bodgey a ring compressor out of a coke can ,a torque wrench and Bobs your auntie .
