Those reels are god-awful jam engines. I actually bought one of those once (along with every other piece of "stroke" gear), and it got used exactly twice. The thing got so damned tangled that I couldn't get it straighteded out. At 20ft on the deco line, I pulled the thing out and tossed it. What I want for a primary reel is one of those Extreme Exposure jump spools, only bigger, so that it'll hold a good 300ft of line. That won't work for everybody, but I've got big hands. When there's nothing but the spool, there's nothing to jam. -Will > Why do I mount a light on it?
