LMAO sounds like us when we go fishing.. Thats a daily occurence when your fishing topwater for bass. Especially with ribbits and a 7ft med heavy rod lol I'll yank a 1 1/2lb bass clean out the water. But trust me those hard hook sets are worth it when that 6lber takes that bait.

what braid you use?? I usually have problem for a couple trips after i respooled it.. One braid that i really like is the spiderwire invisibraid. Its super soft and smooth and i don't think that one dug like powerpro does at first

I use 20lb powerpro on my trout rod. It softens after some use. The only time it messes up is after fighting a bull red then i just let some line out and reel it back in. Problem solved. Are you sure you are spooling the line on there tight? I use the big nasty stuff (50lb) for bass fishing heavy cover and never have problems.

i probably dont spool it on tight enough i guess.. I try to put my spool helper thing as tight as i can, but like you said it tightens up eventually.. I hate how when you just caught a fish then you recast it out and the line dug into itself and your bait frikin pops back right at you! Happens too often... But i use the same thing for trout and the same thing for my flippin rod for bass. But for my light lures like flukes, worms, crankbaits etc. I use that spiderwire invisibraid. Go check it out. I think it cast better too
