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!!
