Thoughts On My New Gear?

I got the same reel for christmas...

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like there is too much line on your reel. This will cause alot of loops/line twist/headaches.

 

You only want to fill your spool to within an 1/8 inch of the edge of the spool, at most. It looks like yours is filled up right to the edge.

 

Again it could just be the picture, but it's something you should check out.

 

Thanks for your advice. There actually may be some extra line on the reel and here's why. I have a practice lure and I wanted to get some casting practice in my front yard. I thought if I put some extra line on I can just cut it off after it gets chewed up from being dragged on the grass, street, etc.and then I should have the right amount of line.
