    PENN REEL GREASE

    Not sure about this advice but back in the 80's I was told by a reel repair and serviceman that you could mix your own Penn grease. Use ordinary marine grease and add 3-in-one oil until you get the right consistency. I never had a problem, that I know of anyway, using it back then.

    ADVICE ON WILDERNESS

    T Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like the wrong time of the year and no need for any of the heavier spinning rods. I'll probably bring a 6 wgt fly rod and one other very light spinning rod. Just as a matter of interest, would small repalas be a better bet than paddle tails or top water lures?
