Saltheart, either you have held a lot of knot tying lessons under that pole, or youv'e confused JPowers with ScottB. The memory is the first to go, they say! ;)

BTW how long has the new Spectron been out? I have not had to change mine in a while, but I suppose I will have to for next year.

You would be amozed how often i give all kinds of lessons under that light Scott. And no i'm not confusing you and Jim. He wears pretty shirts! :)

Hey Don
I have that exact set up u are talking about

there is no perfect Canal setup you need highly specilazed equipment and how could you make 12 trips to the canal in one season I cant stay away

Great---first they screw up Whiplash, now Spectron :wall:

Yeah , no kidding Mike.

I spool up a couple of reels this year with the New Spectron and have nothing but trouble. I start playing with the spool tension etc but still just tons of trouble. i loose more line in a month than i had in two years before. so finally i need a refill . I didn't have any more of the new stuff or anything new for that matter so i take the line off a cod reel i had spooled two years before with the original spectron but never used. All of a sudden everything is back to normal and I can open uop the reel again and I go back to breaking at the jig or leader knot when snagged.


What kills me is that we already pay about $25 bucks for a reel full. If they had to Raise the prise to $26 who cares?/ Instead , they do some cost reduction which saves them about 50 cents and totally changes the product for the worse.

So the net result is I can't buy my favorite line anymore (original Spectron) and I can't put it on my favorite reel anymore (BG 7000CL) I just can't figure out what these people are thinking!! :confused:
