speaking of drags.... me and my friend chris were in the street playing yellowtail. I know I know.... we are a bunch of losers![laugh]haha. we were using my new newell 338 and 9' seeker classic series rod. we attached the line to the seat of his bike and were making runs just like a humongo bungo yellowtail(how did you like my 'home-made' word, "humongo bungo"???). anyways. I forgot to wet the reel and line. after about 10 or so runs. chris said that the reel smelt like something buring. could this be because I didnt wet the line and reel beforehand? or is it just because the line was stretching and contracting and the molecules just got hot? the bolt that holds the handle on the reel was super hot too.
this cant be good for my reel!!![:/]hehe I like that face!
