TL - One's a Penn 6500SS and the other is a cheap crappy walmart special (my first rod, weighing in at $34.99!).
The Penn really has just tangled line which I might consider just hacking off entirely and going back to the sporting goods store for more, but the walmart wonder (acutally not a bad little reel) has line that runs from the spool to underneath the actual ....spinning thing.... yes, I know all the technical terms. Its all wedged in there....
I should probably learn how to disassemble it for cleaning anyway, unless my scrubbing the rods down in the shower is sufficient!
