spongey rear brake.

Ii've put somert on here before regarding my brakes, i tried turn the screw to bring the handle inwards to see if that helped with getting it to bite better . It didnt/doesnt seem to have made any difference really, but now it seams to be a bit spongey, when i pump the brake its firmer. Now my q is , does it need bleeding or is it maybe the pads and the like.? I've been told if i take the lid off the reservior and hold the lever in for a few minutes this gets rid of any air bubbles, would this work/make any difference?

I'd bleed it.

Cheers . Now i'm checking crc,treads,evans,leisurelakes etc for pads, now my pads says e10.11 on them, but i cannot find any with these numbers on 'em. Nor can i find any that say they fit tektro draco's....but they do say that they fit other tektro brakes,,,, i've looked at tektro's webpages and all the pics of pads look the same....what's my best options,? apart from lbs ?
