    Reel cleaning repair Orlando

    Anyone clean and repair bait caster reels (Shimano, Lews) in the Orlando area (besides Kels). I probably got 15 or so that mostly need cleaning that I don't use, but could be using. Don't really want to mail them out if possible.

    Need more flipping sticks, can’t have just 1 or 2, you never know we might catch one on a crank bait every now and then.

    Anything you cast out and reel in is a crank bait, LOL everything that you pitch or flip into grass(shh) or reeds is flipping

    I have modified crankbaits so that I can use them in sparse kiss. grass and peppergrass without to much of a problem. Working them in hydrilla is much tougher because the mats are too dense. I have caught a lot big fish cranking in the pepper grass and kiss grass. You should try it sometimes.

    I'd love to go fishing with you sometime.
    You always post pictures of big fish and have some interesting techniques. I'm sure I could learn a lot!

    Yea, pepper grass and kissimmee grass.. Well, grass in general, is a thing of the past on the water I fish.. Maybe the FWC will switch gears at some point and do some restoration of the grasses, now that they (and the hurricanes) have killed 95% of it on the St. Johns river.. Most bodies of water could handle the FWC -or- Mother Nature.. Both is a tall task.
