Should you put braided line on a baitcaster

Replacing a topwaters factory treble with a Bladed Hybrid Treble adds subtle strike-triggering flash and vibration, and will get you more bites

Another thing to consider is that your reel will not retrieve as much line after a cast as it will when the lure gets closer to you on boat or shore

Start by taking your reel off of your rod Clip the lure off of your line, reel it tightly to the spool, and secure it down with tape Release the brake plate from your reel - this reel has a latch but others may have a pin, knob, or tension rod Remove the brake plate and the spool from the reel Inspect and clean the brake plate - it tends to catch a lot of gunk - then do the same with your spool Now inspect and clean the worm gear - it's the exposed gear underneath where your line comes off of the spool Inspect and clean the reel body - certain parts get dirtier than others because the line coming off of the reel flings dirt around every time you cast Now undo all of the screws holding the other side of the reel onto the body Make sure you hold the plate tight to the reel body as you unscrew everything Turn the reel onto its side, with the handle on top, pointing towards the ceiling - then CAREFULLY lift it straight up off of the body There are tiny springs under the plate that can "pop" off if you aren't careful - they're not fun to have to find on the floor...just ask my husband, Ryan
