I tried them, but when released the line would come off the release spool then get caught on the tip and not come off release. Does hard mounting fix this?
Yes....I've mounted them both with arm swinging forward and backwards and this is best way. There's already a second hole to drill another hole down through arm. If you don't have 2 screws it will slide back and forth and not work right all the time. I took a screw and went to my local hardware and got more plus the Teflon lock nuts. Them little black plastic nuts that come on board always loosen up.
Thanks Ralph. I'll try this
I I am and won't look back. It was recommended on here? Where did everyone go that lied to me? Lol
I was given a big spool of that sunline years ago to try out. I spooled 6 reels with it and 6 with 12lb trylene big game. Still using big game, gave the other away. The strength is there but it's sh.i.t for abrasiveness. One little nick and it will break. Found that out when it broke tying on 3 different reels tying to the reel before spooling up!
Now we know why Ruckman was handing that stuff out like candy. jk.
Yep. 5# was my favorite. Fished like 4 and was almost as strong as 6. We had some batches that broke at over 8#. I still use it. Also, the stretch is terrific, which saves your butt on hard fighting fish. 25 on the rigger rods for kings saved a lot of fish that came to the boat way too soon.Maxima has always been a great line. All I would use for steelhead back in the day. When you can pull in 12lb fish in current on 4lb line it says alot.
It was fine the first year. Right straight to poop 2nd year. Boat always in the garage out of the sun.
