fishing line memory
"Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers.com" wrote in message
... "Paul Fisher" wrote in message news I am using Eagle Claw at 15 lb test, That could be part of the problem. 15 pound test is pretty heavy line for spinning tackle and I'm not sure what diameter the line is. Remember that the larger the line's diameter, the less inclined the line will be to conform to the spool and the more likely it will be to spring off the spool, especially if you're using a smaller spinning reel with a smaller diameter spool. The heaviest line I'll ever use on a spinning reel is 12 pound, and usually I'm using 4 to a max. of 10 pound. I use 12lb flourcarbon on one of my spinning reels and its always a challenge. I've found the best thing I can do (if I remember) is to respool when I came back in from fishing and let the reel sit for a couple days rather than respooling the night before. That isn't always an option. Blakemoore Reel Magic sprayed on the line helps a little, but not as much as just letting set on the reel for a couple days. |

fishing line memory

wrote: Is there any practical way to "unlearn" fishing line memory? When I comes off the spool it seems ok, but when I release the guide to cast, it jumps off the spool like a slinky and it was new line........ One thing that has worked for me is to release a majority of the line directly behind the boat (with nothing on the line), and "drag" it for a couple of miles. Seems to help, if I am struggling with "loops" JMHO |

In the absence of such instructions, the spool of Steve lying on the floor recommendations. I've never seen a spinning reel, not the line clockwise direction, therefore, the supply spool to be on the floor, making counterclockwise line off.
