I was a Narrow River one night maybe 10 or 12 years ago. Just bought a new Abu 6600W and this was the first outing with it and with a new line called Spectron braid. Well I hookup and line is peeling off. I'd get some line back and out it would go again. Went on like that for a good 10 to 15 minues. I finally locked down the star drag and am hauling this monster in. Low and behold a LARGE trash bag half filled with sand and the rest is water, Was I pissed!!
