I'm gonna get mine out this week as I put my hunting stuff away. I think I'll get some lube and grease 'em up. I'm also thinking of going with a lot more leader this year. maybe something florocarbon... I remember someone saying there was some good stuff on the market, but I forgot the name. I remember that floro doesn't take a good cinch knot and to use a palomar knot...

shack is just about ready.. hope its not frozen to the driveway... I'll check on that today.

I use a simple clinch knot with fluoro.  In the lighter tests, it can fail if you don't seat it properly.  If I'm making leaders up ahead of time, I just put a drop of superglue on the knot.  The polamar knot is a good choice with lighter tests, but can be a bit bulky.  I use a surgeon's end loop on the other end to make leader changes easy.

I like Seaguar best.

Hope that helps.
