I would suggest pairing it a new G Loomis rod I'm thinking about ordering. I'll send you my address....lol. Hootie

Dave, A...."GIANT THANK YOU". That fixed the problem. And thanks to everyone for your suggestions and help. I knew I could find the answer on this forum. The best, still the best, "ALWAYS" the best. Hootie

Yes, I turned it both ways to see if I could see a difference. Loosen it, nothing happened. Tighten it, the gap gets wider. Hootie

You know the rules, no profanity...lol. Hootie

While I was fishing today, my reel all of a sudden didn't feel right. Took a close look and I saw that that I had line behind the spool on the handle side. I checked to see if I had side to side play in the spool....no, just a gap.I tried tightening the tension knob,but that was just making the gap wider. What's going on? By the way, it's a Core 100mg.

I know, if you already have too many up, you will have to delete some. I've had to do that a few times myself. Hootie

Uh...uh...uh...yeah, that. Hootie

Maybe the bait monkey is really Glenn, or maybe RW, or J francho. You think he could be one of the mods?...lol. Hootie

Go for it. Hootie

I have never used their flouro, but I do use, "occasionally" vicious ultimate, a copolymer. Never have had a problem with it. Hootie

Am I going to have to learn a second language? Hootie

Aren't we supposed to go green anyhow?...lol. Hootie

Decisions, decisions....sometimes life gets really tough. Hootie

WHEW!!....I was starting to get a little worried...lol....just kidding. Hootie

Probably just a fluke. They are awesome reels. I would just return it and get another, or a few...lol. Hootie

Not to worry John. Once a Shimano fan boy, always a Shimano fan boy. Hootie

I have one, but mine is 6'8" MH. It's a great rod for the money. Plenty of sensitivity and light weight. Hootie

Awe Pancho! Awe Ceesko! Hootie

Just reading an old book called "Bass Fishing", published by Field and Stream in 1962. It recommends oiling the bearings on a baitcasting reel every hour. That's correct...."every hour". Hootie

John, you're kind of like....well,....a pusher....lol. Hootie

I doubt if Marlon Brando would think Stella was worth that much money. You young guys won't even understand that comment....lol. Hootie

No. Hootie

Probably not a cottonmouth. More likely polyester. Hootie

I like soup sandwiches. My favorites, nicken choodle, or nurkey toodle. Hootie
