For the reels this is one of the threads I found on the Zebco reels. http://bow.fishingcountry.com/forum...hread.php?5777-Zebco-808-drags-how-do-they-work-amp-corrections&highlight=Zebco

For the Retriever this video should help you out.

On the spinners a lot of folks will use this silicone spray on the line. Just take the hood off and spray down the line on the spool.

Now I noticed you got a few of the cajun rod extensions. For me I didn't like having it sticking way out there, so I cut mine down and shortened it. Probably cut it down to much but felt alot better for me.

 

[spyke]

Any questions you guys got, ask away.

I did the same thing with my Cajun rod but I epoxied it back in

 

[spyke]

Same thing I did. All the black tape and zip ties are cause of the busted synergy foot.

 

[wbeadlescomb]

Lol I've still yet to break one not quite sure what y'all are doing to them

 

[Marno]

Thanks a lot Spyke! This topic is gonna come in handy!!

The points you put on here helps alot at least I will know what I am using. hahaha

The retreiver and zebco's I have sorted now unless you guys have some tricks with them.

I must just put some of those finger savers on the string then my bow is sorted. Just need to figure out how to put them on the string.

Easy way to put em on the string is use a paperclip straightened out and bent in half or one of the woman's bobby pins through the loop on one end and thread that through the finger savers. Some dish soap or KY jelly on the string makes it easy to slide em on the string.

 

[Marno]

Do you have to take off the string?

 

[spyke]

Unfortunatley you do. There's actually a thread for a homemade bow press if that's what you're worried about.

 

[Marno]

Cool thanks man!! Will have a look at it!

Marno, The gar tip blows a bigger hole in fish. Use the carp tips , they don't blow as big a hole & will hold fish better.

I'm sure you bought a tube of KY just for puttin on finger slicks...:cen::laugh:

Thanks man!! Did not think about that! Will make sure what tips I have as I lost some fish due to the big hole in the fish, but I already saw the lower poundage bow I have now also makes a big difference.

:laugh: I could elaborate but I'll keep this PG rated, maybe even NC-17. I wonder if the his & hers works any better?

And I figured that out when I was engaged. Married now so I wonder how Jergens would do?
