    Yeah. Hopefully both of us will be busy netting some big ones. Actually I hope the weather is going to cooperate.

    Mine are up.

    Before the eyes are put on the blank, how do the manufacturers know which side is going to be up or down?

    One more thought. Why would you use a bait caster and have it upside down on a rod? Makes much more sense to me to just use a spinning reel if you like the eyes down. Using a bait caster upside down defeats the very reason you used one in the first place. Awkward too.

    I prefer spinning reels over bait casters.

    I think bait casters have an advantage over spin reels in ease of letting more line out. I keep my drags pretty loose and if I need to let out more line just pull out against the drag with no line twist, line twist is the major problem with spinners to me. As far as mine being turned down, no line is touching the pole only the eyes and to my way of thinking less chance of the line getting hung up on the pole, but its what ever floats your boat.

    Feesh don't know or care, and when I get one on I get so dang excited I fergit which is up or down anyways. I use mix and match SMALL bait casters. Spinners get in my way a little. Maybe with more experience they wouldn't , but for now ...small bait casters, eyes up and pray something accidentially grabs the minner.
