Spent the better part of two nights at work trying to pick it out.  Just wasn't possible.  Ended up having to take a knife to the spool.

That's what happens when you catch TheBeast's rod in the back of the boat.   ;D

d**n, hate when that happens! Wouldn't take anything for my baitcaster though.

Is that the best you can do? ;D

When I screw up that bad, I remove the spool from the reel. It makes line removal a lot easier.

I made my first true bird's next a few weeks ago with a side arm cast in which my lure smacked the back of a chair from the shore. The treble dug into the fabric of the chair and the next sound was thrrruppp! My thumb didn't even have a chance to stop it. :-[ It made your nest look quite manageable.

The picture doesn't really do it justice.  Plus that was right before I gave up on picking it out and decided to start cutting.

d**n shame too as I had just put that line on the reel.  Oh well, at least CXX is cheap.

I hear you. I had fresh 10# suffix siege on my reel. Siege is cheap too.

I've spent the last two nights picking one out of my Sol. I deserved this one though. I was casting a wacky rigged senko on a Jackall weedless wacky jig head, so the reel was set-up pretty wide open.

I had already caught one fish and shoulda replaced the senko; I figured nah, one more fish. As soon as I started a sharp cast the senko flew off, and resulted in an out-of-commission Sol.

Unfortunately Gamma Co-poly isn't cheap.

A couple of weeks ago, I did one of my famous two handed, side arm power casts into a tree about 10 feet from the boat. Power Pro is hard to cut off of the spool. LOL

Sometimes those trees come up pretty fast don't they alpster? ;D

It happens to me, too.

Usually when I am casting and hit the boat's windshield, another rod, or a bush/tree.

This is why I take extra baitcasters and spinning reels with me to switch out while fishing and then remove the backlash when I get home.

I've definitely done that before.

Need I remind you of the Calcutta DC debacle?    :   LOL, that was entertaining....

Ha Ha... ;D

I haven't had one like that in a few years. But seeing that one I wouldn't have even tried to pick it out, just remove the spool and start cutting....

Tight Lines!!!!

Even better was it was dark and I thought I had gotten a strike and set the hook.

Doesn't look so bad ;D ;D ;D

had one just about like it the other day.  

Hit a large weed behind me.

Yikes    It never ceases to amaze me how easily fishing line can get wrapped up. I have had to hack many of spools over the years. It really sucks when you are on a hot bite too.  :'(

Amateur.  :

i've done a few of those!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

i have never gotten one as bad as that, but i would have started cutting before the spool stopped spinning  

It happens to the best of us,  I had to cut a couple out before.

Wow Just Got my Fourth Star!

I going fishing (2nd time today)

Later!

LOL so true i let someone else use my reel for a minute and they got a huge backlash when the bite was on , by the time i picked it out the spinnerbait bite was done and shortly after the line guide insert on the reel popped out

Ha, I had that happen last week.

I had on some Seagaur Invizx that was a week old on it too.
