I just let them freespool,I have casted them back out some.When I went on a guided trip with bigger jigger years ago he casted them out too,he was using okumas.

Yep....That's dead on about the line getting between spool and the frame. Has happened to me several times.

Do you have a site to go to for those boards Bill?

Are you using the 15's or 20's? This I why I went to 20's exclusively. Much better reel for $2 more.

Put a piece of 1/2 inch pipe insulation on them and they won't sink. One of mine got hung and jumped out of the holder on Monday and I just made a big loop and picked it back up.

I cast mine out. I use the daiwa accudepth icv 15. Digital line counters for me. Didn't like the sticky springs on the okumas personally.

Grizzly jig or monks has best prices on rods. Reels can be bought also off eBay. Okumas when I used them were cheaper from north woods. Buy quality in the beginning and will save money in long run.

Most important add the flotation device to the rod as you will one day have one pulled out or knocked out of the boat lol.

Advice from weekend warrior lol.
