My rookie season. I was at the end of a breachway (alone in the middle of the night), and wasn't having any luck so I decided to go for an extra long drift. When I checked my spool I noticed that all 300yrds of my braid was out and I was looking at a bare spool (no backing)! Thank God no one was there as it took a few minutes to get the line to bite on the bare spool. One of the few times I prayed to NOT catch anything. The other was when my bail fell off into my hand after a full cast with a needle. Hand over handed the line back in, luckily no fish. I wouldn't reccomend handlining with braid!
