Ive used braided superlines a few times, i see many benefits and many problems with them. One major problem ive had with the braided line is the line under alot of tension tends to dig into itself on the spool caused by the small diameter of the string. So ive always gone back to mono and flourocarbon. I would like to use the braided line if there was a reel that was made specificly for laying the line on the spool in a way that would allow lots of tension on the line without it digging in. Now i remember as a kid watching fishing shows and seeing spiderwire commercials come on. I think i remember them advertising a baitcasting reel that had a crossweb feature that the line would be layed in a way to prevent the digging in(maybe im wrong and it was only a spinning reel). I dont think they ever explained it but i assumed it would have to be a reel with a superfast level winder to put the line on crossing eachself on the spool(i could be wrong). Ive spent alot of time tryin to research this on the internet and havent found much of anything. No info on these reels or single picture of them. Ive looked at the spiderweb website and they dont make reels or have any info about them. Im assumeing these reels didnt do too well on the market and pretty much vanished. I did read an article that said the crossweb feature was patented. But why would the company patented it and not produce reels with the feature. Does anyone remember these reels or have any info about them. And are there any reels out there that lay the line on the spool in a way to prevent the line from digging in?
