I messed up too..
I've had my anger under control pretty good lately till...2 nights ago.[:@]
I bought a new Pinnacle Reel. I got out my new 25.00 spool of Power pro.330 yd spool. I carefully wound up my reel nice and tight and full. I had a couple of cats in my bedroom watching me. I then tied on a zoom red shad. I went to reel in the slack and practive my new reel out side to adjust the spool. OH NO!!!! somehow...the reel had a horrible bird's nest in it. Ususally you can cut off about 10 yds right.??? Not this baby. I was ticked. I had to cut off the entire spool and strt over again. It was the worst mess I've ever seen. I don't know what happened either but I was upset. Today when I put this reel on my new Team Diawa I realized I had scaped the reel pretty bad with my knife. yeah...I messed up too. Right now it's ok though. new line and ready to go.haven't had one of these days in a while.
