My first problem was setting up the rod and line. It took me two tries
before I wised up to the pointlessness of trying to thread the 4X tapered
leader "up" through the eyes of the pole. I'd read of this bizarre ritual
and its near impossibility of acheiving, on the web. I swore
I would never be so inept as to have a leader fall back through the eyes
before I finished this simple task.


DOUBLE the LINE and thread it through the guides ... then pull the leader
through using the line ... the DOUBLED line won't fall back through the
guides ( very often )
