thanks imthemedic for explaining that the line twists can cause overruns....I thought there was something wrong with my reel because I couldn't adjust the brakes to keep from getting overruns,so today I tied on a swivel and tied it to a tree and stretched the line. when I took it to the lake tonight I fished fo two hours and didn't have a bit of trouble with it. I do need to get it cleaned real good because it's not near as smooth as it used to be, so do you kow anyone that does this type of thing (i'm not able to do it myself)
