Some have asked... I'm using a Lews setup. Rod is Heavy Medium.

Wow! Really appreciate all the great replies. I'll probably get heavier line. Not familiar with wind knots. I'll look that up. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply... The braided line is new 10lb spiderwire. The break happens around 20' past where the lure is tied on. The monofilament was old. I'll keep on keeping on. Thanks again.

Occasionally when I cast, the line be cut at about 20' on my reel. The lure just sails on out and i lose it. Trying to figure out why? It's happened on two different baitcaster reels with monofilament and braided line. Anyone have this happen and have any ideas as to why? Thanks

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Looks like I'll look for a different trolling motor.

I have a MotorGuide on a 22' CC Xpress. I'm not sure what the MotorGuide model number is. It was bought @ 2005. Currently, it has a simple push button that I step on to control on and off. I control left, right, forward, and backward with the hand control. Is there a relatively easy way to add a foot pedal that will allow me to control left, right, and on off?
