I thank you all for the replies! Rubber bands it is.

Hey folks, You know that little piece of tape that comes with a spool of line? How can I get a roll of that? I don't recall ever seeing it for sale anywhere.

Hmm? Ok, thank you for the insight.

I have been eying this reel for sometime now. Is it any better than a Curado? https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-johnny-morris-platinum-signature-baitcast-reel

Holy cow! That is one big animal! How did you get that bad boy up there? It looks like the beam is about to snap. Way to go.....

Wow! I did not expect such a great welcome. I just stumbled upon this site, one night. Thank you!

Just another guy that loves to set the hook.
