Gotcha, that's exactly what I was looking for, I was about to machine a hole through my spool(not really, but it was getting frustrating). Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Ok so I just started using braided line and I must say that I really like it. However, I am having a bit of an issue. I went for Black Bass for a couple of hours before work the other day and missed my first two fish because of weak hook sets. When I set the hook, my line just sheared right out of my reel. I tightened my drag down pretty good, then I landed a 5 1/2 pound fighter who gave me a run as I fought with my reel. No matter how much I tighten my drag, my line slips on my reel. I have my drag tightened all the way, and I can pull out line no problem. As you can imagine this is pretty frustrating when you've got a fish on. What can I do here?
