Here's a few useful tips for your consideration.

- Did you leave the drag and cast controls tightened down
on your fishing reels the last time you used them. If you
did loosen them up , this will give you a lot smoother drag
when you go to use them on your next fishing trip.
- Now is a good time to check over your electric trolling
motor for water in the lower unit. Be sure the motor is
at room temperature, now tip the motor upside down, if their
is any water in the lower unit it will run out of the head. Fishing
line wrapped around the prop normally is the cause of the
water seals failing.
- Is your baitcaster reel stacking line on one side of the
spool? This is caused by the pawl wearing, it must be replaced,
if it is not, you will damage your level wind system costing
you a lot to repair later when the reel stops working.
- Have you recently switched to one of the new super braid
lines and then started noticing your drag slipping. It may
be that the drag is not the problem. Most often the line
is actually slipping on the spool. One of the properties
of this new line is that it is very slick and does not stick
to the bottom of the spool. To solve the problem just put
a small piece of black tape on the spool before you wind
on the line. The line will then stick to the tape preventing
it from slipping.
- Does your bow mount electric fishing motor run partly
out of the water at times. In most brands this can be corrected
by installing a longer shaft on your motor.
