The spool held 250 metres. Hindsight is 20/20 I know but after the spool was loaded I started thinking that I should have used some tape to dummy up the spool. I had also heard that some use mono to fill the spool. I think you did the right thing filling the spool. You could have backed it with mono to save money, but you didn't have to (the Pflueger spools are braid-ready). If you used dummy tape you would have regretted it if you hooked the fish of lifetime. I'm sure of this. You can never have too much line!!! Also, some of the largest fish I've caught have been on my smallest lures... you can never be safe from a big fishy!!!

This past 2 weeks I've spent considerable time sitting with my tripod at the Langman Conservation area. Sweet! My father is an avid photographer. Me, not so much... but I know enough to curse my crappie canon point-and-shoot almost every time I shoot my fish. My wilderness experience when I was younger consisted of fishing with my grandfather and birdwatching with my dad. Welcome! |
