Second Hand Predator Tackle

What to check on used predator tackle

Braid and heavy lures wear rod rings, so look closely for grooves on each ring. Check the casting weight on the blank suits the lures you use.

Reels should wind smoothly under load, with a clean bail arm and a working drag. On baitcasters, check the brakes and level wind.

Reel seats should lock firmly with no movement. Look for corrosion if the gear has been used on tidal or brackish water.

Ask how often the gear was used and whether it has been serviced. Lightly used predator kit often has plenty of life left in it.
