[QUOTE="Alan, post: 752858, member: 378"] I agree with all that has been suggested, the 25lb test is way to big. when I went after salmon and steel head I used nothing bigger than 8lb test... no need to fish with a rope. A trick I use to do when putting new line on a casting reel (open face) was to have one of my sons put on a pair of gloves and stick a pencil through the spool hole. They would use their hands to put pressure on the spool to help keep the line tight while I cranked the reel to load new line... the gloves were to help with the burn factor. :D Also remember that new line will tend to "rat nest" a little easier than line that is "broke in" a bit. I miss fishing! Alan [/QUOTE]
