A:
When baitcasting I tend to use a modified baseball swing. I found this gets me the best distance and best control.Details:
i just bought this reel and i need a littie help with itDetails:
I recently bought this reel as a "combo" package. My first baitcaster. What simple maintenance tips are there?Will a squirt of WD40 now and again do any harm?
Answers
A:
Wouldnt recomend it
A:
Your better to use a specific reel lube or line conditioner. Than WD40A:
i would not use wd 40 because it will get on the line and cost you bites because the bass will smell it. the reel does not need it as all the parts are inside. i use just a touch of hot sauce lube on the worm gear and the hanle bearings. it also helps if you replace the spool bearings with abec 7's but that is not necessary. bob rAnswers
A:

One word : SHIMANO! I have purchased a few Quantum reels and have never been satisfied, except for the Energy PT series, which were $180+. @ $90 the Shimano Caenan looks to be a solid baitcaster for a beginner and I like the brake system on Shimano reels over anyone!A:
Bottom line, I'd pick the Quantum. But for your first, I would recommend other BPS reels that are better for still a low price.Details:
Does this reel cast like the Curado and the Citica? or do you have to hold the thumb bar down?Answers
A:
I use the reel for bay fishing and it casts very far using popping corks. I also used it bass fishing and with a 1/4 ounce rooster tail and it cast that very far too. You just have to set the spool tension to the right level......when you push down the black button to cast, put the tip of your thumb down on the spool so you can lightly touch it to keep it from overspinning and control the distance. I hated bait casters til I got this one and it is really good. It took me about 1/2 day to get use to it. Highly recommendA:
just like the curado but a heck of a lot better. bob rA:
Don't have to hold the thumb bar down. Best buy for the money....A:
Same concept as both other reels. I own all three reels mentioned, and the caenan holds it own quite well.Details:
i need to know for comparison and durability.elite X2
Answers
A:
Its made out of strong durable graphiteA:
aluminum frame and side plates, the reel is built like a tank and will last you a lifetime. bob rA:
100% sure it's NOT aluminum.Definitely graphite...hence the price point.
A:
the sideplates are graphite but the frame is aluminumA:
99.9% sure its all aluminumDetails:
Which one is best? I fish a variety of baits and species. Thanks!Answers
A:
Caenan all the wayA:
The caenan is fresh and salt water approved. As far as which is better, the code and kinetic can't compare in my book.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
canean or kinetic but never a code ive had a kinetic for over 2 years now and its un beliveable at wat that dude has pulled out of the water and shimano is very reliable also like em both u wanna save a few bucks get the canean but if u want something that ur gonna have 6 years from (with some care and cleaning ) get the kinetic its also a lil more comfortable in the palm of ur hand i use mine for anything from frogs and flippen to jigs and worms 25 ft downDetails:
I wasn't sure if this reel has a real sturdy frame made of aluminum or something else. Thanks!Answers
A:
aluminum, side plates too, it is built like a tank. bob rA:
This reel has a graphite frame. If you want a Shimano with an aluminum frame, you have to step up to at least the Citica.

A:
. . . . i know i posted the same question but i just found out... it is part of shimano metal series which all have one-piece, aluminum frames.YIPEEE
lucky fishing,
