I swapped spools yesterday as I figured the PP had lost most of its green coloring and it would be a good time to break in the other spool with the large fish around..... I have been tortured since then. Lost a TDF custom surf howdy on a break off (later retrieved after 45 min. of target casting) and have had to cut off ten to thirty yards do to wind knots numerous times. The spool now has too little left on it. Only option is to pull off and add to backing, which I dislike due to the knot. Spent most of last evening and this morning dealing with equipment! Yeah I'm losing it, esp after seeing John D with a nice 44" on a tube and worm from his yak, and hearing Clogston is leading the weekend's tourney with a 39lb 7oz he pulled the other night. His buddy Mike is in second I believe. Good going guys!

I used to use trilene exclusive, but there QC Has went way down hill. So on a suggestion I tried the ande backcountry and really fell in love with the stuff.
