Tales, I have the diawa 27's...I like them cause there not to big, but the convector 30's seem awesome. If Jim has told you any stories of me tring to be CHEAP, i had problems with line accuracy- spools not full enough.
This is for everyone as Fish Tales said, check your accuracy with a tape measure to be sure- it make a difference especially when your sharing line leads with your buddies out on the water, you can be 48' back- but your not if your spool isn't full.

whats is the count down...95 days or so!

Well get the lines calibrated and replaced, let it snow and GO!
