Well played.

Yea dont feel bad about it I bought some Z-Man worms and put them with my regulars. And the guys here pointed it out to me.

Glad the problem could be fixed without all the hassle of returningthe reel for replacement. If you are like me you don't want to be without your stuff.

Like I said in post #2 this was the first negative I had heard on Lew's Reels. So if it was just Operator Error I still haven't heard anything negative about them. I like the Revo line of Reels but I think my next BC I will try a Lew's.

Glad you got it worked out and don't feel bad we have all done similar things at some point.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

You displayed some great character. You laughed at yourself and made things right. I once had a fit over some new batteries I had just purchased and installed, dang junk batteries. " Plug the trolling motor in and you'll be fine Doug." I love my wife.

Whether people admit it or not, they have learned this lesson the hard way (me included...ie my post above).

This thread will now do what is intended in this forum. Make somebody else a better angler! Or at least save them the embarrassment in their first tourney when they can't reel their senko back to the boat so that I...I mean some other dude haha....has to winch in his senko by hand!

I was hoping I...I mean that other dude didn't catch a lunker that cast haha

Congratulations Megastrike,

The forum works! I don't know if I've ever encountered this problem, maybe I have and didn't know what was going on, but now I know what to look for.

Never give up....

Good fishin' Eric

HOLY CRAP, THAT IT!!!!!!!!!!! I just realized that the line is in fact spinning! Wow, dont I feel like dummy!

Learn something new everyday!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks all!

i did that with fireline.. also cut my hand open that day for the first time with fishing line trying to break it from being stuck.. it was a bad day.

i was stuck the line was spinning around on the spool so i was like I don't understand i grabbed the line and gave it

I don't understand LOL

i guese you cant say that here

Man, I just put some braid on a Daiwa and they have holes in the spool. I just ran my braid through the holes so it wouldn't slip. The dude that I bought the reel from (in the flea market) had it set up that way when I took the old line off of it so I didn't have to learn the hard way. I think I've used electric tape in the past to make sure the braid didn't slip but only after reading about it in this forum. Thanks Mega! I grew up using mono so all this braid stuff is fairly new to me.

No problem. I forgot all about this thread! lol. Heres a few things you can do:

Use a little mono backing and tie the ends together.

Tie the braid around one of the holes in the spool.

Electric tape works.

 

Good fishing!
