Thumbing the line back on the spool is easier when throwing jigs - especially heavy stuff. Most people have trouble when plugging due to uneven pressure when returning the line and working the plugs. Plugging is done best with a level wind reel. The learning curve is pretty high when learning to use conventional - If the lure snapped off on the cast, it was probably because the line wasn't properly retrieved on the previous cast. A small bump on the spool will bring disaster on the following cast. Cross the line and do not try and lay it right next to each other. If necessary, when reeling in keep the pressure about the same by running the line under your thumb when laying it on the spool or between the thumb and finger to maintain constant pressure.
I have found power pro better on the convench than fireline. It is rounder and doesn't dig into the spool as easy. Stay with the 65 lb. until you are used to it. -- A smooth even cast will yeild a better cast and more distance.  |

Tagger - ever fished linen - Assinippi line? That was my favorite line for the 140 squidder. When jiggin the ditch, the line had so much drag you had to throw at least 5 ounces to find bottom. Favorite jig was the eeelskin jig. Probably about 50 pounds of those on the bottom.  |
