Well, that explains are problem a couple weeks ago down at lake Cumberland. I have 2 of the stradics 2500, I had just put the fluorocarbon on them, one for me and one for my son. my son kept having problems with his, I thought he was casting to hard, so I tried mine and sure enough, it did the same thing after you cast, line would keep feeding off and then you had knots lots of them. I would have never thought there was to much line on them. great post. now I just have to figure out how not to put to much line on them
