Spooled and rigged (braid + mono) on board, with instruction from @ultimatefishingtv Wound it around the rigging to give tension. Bird's-nest first outing! 😢😀 So, with a little help from YT expert @mikesmedleyteamoldschool whose video slowed me down, I was soon back on track. Thanks, guys! 🎣⛵👍 Liz "There's no backlash in mono you can't get out on a boat..." "Don't panic if you get a backlash, and don't be afraid..."
