https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lews_Mach_HatchPack_Backpack/descpage-LMHPBP.html This is what I used when not in the boat. Holds TONS and TONS of gear. Not the most comfortable thing to wear for long hikes, but holds everything you need + more.

Update... 40lb braid has fixed the issue. Thank you everyone!

Sounds like a cop out, but honestly Im not finding much. Any better search terms? Or more information to be shared would be appreciated. Thanks!

I will give that a try. Thank you and Ill report back!

Its 20lb Suffix 832. If the line was digging into the spool, wouldnt I notice this on softer casts as well? Or are you thinking its digging in on the initial hard whip of the rod before the button is released?

Yes.......

Thank you for the reply. I didnt figure it was normal but thought I would ask. Ill get it boxed up and sent back for repairs.

Just purchased a Daiwa Zillion SV TW, paired to a Loomis med/heavy rod. I'm not a novice fisher and not my first bait casting reel but this one has me stumped thinking I'm missing a setting or dial someplace. First, the casting distance is poor using light to medium casting power. However, if I let it rip with a bomb style cast, the spool will almost jerk to a stop mid flight about 20 yards out and drop the lure hard into the water. It's an abrupt clunk almost as if you engaged the handle during lure flight. After the lure hits the water, you can still pull out line so it's not like it's back lashed or knotted up. Another way to describe would be like a centrifical clutch engaging, but rather than slowing the spool gradually it shoves a pin into and it just stops it from spinning. It only does this when you really try to launch a cast. I have set spool side to side tension so that there is barely any lateral movement in the spool, as instructed in the Manual. I tried all brake settings without any change. Is this defective or is this some setting I'm missing? Thank you in advance! First post here but long time reader
