Glenn mentioned flipping the bail closed with your hand Saturday. If someone would have asked me if I did that I would have said no, but after he mentioned it I paid attention and I do it every time. I have fished with spinning tackle all my life and I guess I've flipped the bail closed with my hand so long that I do it as a reflex now. I think I probably started doing that as a kid because the crappy spinning reels back then wouldn't flip the bail closed from the handle being turned.

I ordered some some of the Berkely Solar last night. I'm going to give it a try. I know our local Walmart has Stren that's yellow and I'll try that too. That will give me 4 dollars different new lines to try out and I'll see which one I like the best.
