Fished yesterday after respooling and find the big draw back to be the impossibility of unraveling a backlash. I got two very small ones, but had to cut them out. Given the expense of braid, this will add up over time. I am slightly concerned about the no stretch aspect, but as I am still learning to cast this rod, I am casting gently and certainly not trying to pendulum. I'll be fishing in a couple weeks with a South African who will help me improve my casts. Thanks to all for your help. I'll keep reading and learning form your site.
