I am down south in Waldorf. Fish mostly small ponds/lakes in housing areas. Other fisheries I have tried are Gilbert Run Lake and Saint Marys Lake without much success. I also fish Mattawoman Creek from time to time. So far I will take the small ponds/lakes over any other fishery that I have tried.

Bass Pro Shops Carbon Light 7'6" MH/Fast CL76MHTF10 $99.97 or Bass Pro Shops Carbon Light 7' MH/Fast CL70MHTF10 $79.97

I prefer Seaguar InvizX Flouro.

I have even noticed this problem after I finish spooling it with braid...it is layed down so badly that I know I could have done a better job by hand. I have tried spooling with different line tensions and ensuring the reel was perfectly level. I do enjoy this reel but because of this issue I am having, I mainly only use it for flipping and pitching now.

I have owned one for about 6 months now. It does cast far and like a dream, but the issue I have with the seesaw levelwind is that, for me, it does not spool the line very well. At the end of the day from fishing it looks like my 3 year old spooled the line by hand. I have lost many lures from the knots that become created from this and snaps the line thru mid-cast.
