Re: Levelwind reel for bottom fishing??
That was one of the 1st level winds I ever used. The trick to that reel is every time you get back from using it put a few drops of 3 in 1 oil on the level wind gear & bar.Also when your stuck in the bottom don't try to jerk your rod out use your hand otherwise your going to go through a lot of pawls. As for level wind reels this year I was using the lexa 300 with the power handle a must. I was very impressed with the power & durability & the drag as well. If a reel lasts me a season without breaking down its a good one. It casts very nicely as well I highly reccomend it if your looking for a new one.
