| So i have a Penn slammer size 360, that i used for small swimjigs and so on, but it seems to birdnest quite often like 1/20 cast, pulls a bunch of line of in one big lump. I'm using 65 lb power pro.
Any suggestions?
Happy newyear from the other side of the big pond. :D |

Location: Cave Run Lake KY. | Go to a lighter super line, 50# test. , We have been using 50# spider line on LSC and boated muskies up to 55"s on it and one 70" sturgeon all on spinning reel's with no trouble . WE use 100# Fluorocarbon , 50" leaders on 7 1/2 ft. rods for trolling , for casting we use 10" leaders. and do not over fill your real.
