I just got through taking apart an old Shakespeare SKP 4100 Baitcaster.

Working intermittently for the past 3 days, it is now cleaned and polished of all rust and tarnish.

Each gear has a tiny amount of grease evenly spaced....each bearing and bushing has a pinpoint of oil.

I don't even have a rod to put it on but.....I feel a warm, satisfying feeling at having it in my hands......hitting the release......hearing the smooth CLICK with a turn of the crank.....

I'm Happy! smile

Switch to live bait and get more fishing done.
Hook, line, sinker, bait then go fish.

If you need a little help, use this list on when to know when to use live bait.

cloudy - live bait
sunny - live bait
windy - live bait
clear water - live bait
dirty water - live bait
deep water - live bait
shallow water - live bait
fall, summer, spring - live bait
deep winter - Ok, fine. Use a lure. But no more than 2!

leaving off the fondling and caressing might save you some time
