These basic steps for cleaning and lubricating a fishing reel will work for all baitcast fishing reels
Over 21 years, since I was a beginner to now having caught numerous enormous fish of all species in countless different waters with countless baitcasting reels, Ive felt every nuance and tweak in their mechanics

on a small lake in Illinois on one (electroshocking had spotted this fish in the same area, though I found this out after I had lost it.Helpful hint.Do NOT make long casts with mono when fishing a Boss.)This is a great bait and not just a substitute for frogs.Many days, if they won't come up on a frog, then will on a Boss, and the reverse.You might consider two modifications.First, glue two rattles tight to the hook on either side.If you are fishing really slow, the fish can find it better.Second, VERY CAREFULLY bend the hook outward about 10 degrees.That helps with hook-ups but, since the hook is rigid, you can snap the bait if you put too much pressure on it.Finally, when casting a Boss, feather the line near the end of the cast.That swings the hook upward soon that it will not snag when it lands.I promise you if you practice this, you will have no problems with the open hook and likely get a better hooking percentage than with a frog From: Unknown 5/19/20 Comments: I have one of these and at first glance they dont look very effective
