I am rebuilding an early vintage (White Handle) Penn Senator 114H (Red-Post) and found a fantastic deal on the HT-100 drag system ($11). I use Cal's drag grease on all of my spinners, but was...

I would agree on the star drags. I put the reel together without the Cal's grease and then disassembled it and used Cal's. What a difference especially when the drag starts to work. no jerk at all...

Just curious, but what makes a rod cobia specific?

They are long, heavy duty rods that should be able to sling a jig farther than the last guy could. Oh and the guides are massive wire guides that...

good for their cork drag, but I was handling one the other day (thankfully not my own) and the drag knob would just not tighten down.

Hi Folks,
My friend is moving and gave me a nearly new Teramar 8ft. XXH. What fish is it most suited to catch?
Thanks...

Last post

I thought it would be able to handle most anything. Now, I can't wait to fish with it to see how it casts. Not well is my guess.
