my line gets rough towards center/end of spoll

[Bream Master]

I've thought about this for nights now and can't figure out why.  I have three rods spolled: 1 with flouro, 2 with mono.

I have noticed that the line on about the first 1/4 of the spoll is okay.  But, once I lose that line (breaks, etc.) the line towards the mid section and towards the end of the spoll are rough in texture, feels kinda like braid.  I hate it.  I'm wasting too much line respolling.  But then, I don't want weak like either.

You guys have this problem too?

Just a guess but it sounds like the line has been on the spool to long   :

It sounds like old line to me, too.

Nylon monofilament deteriorates over time. Fluorocarbon lasts forever and many blends (Yo-Zuri Hybrid for example) last for years.

The line farther in on the spool is being flattened by the line wrapped on top of it. All mono will do this, all of the blended lines I've tried will do this. I suspect that pure flouro will also do this over time. If you've lost enough line off the reel to get down to the flattened stuff, your too low on line anyway. It's time to re-spool.

Save yourself some cash. Don't take all the old line off. Use a back-to-back uni knot or a blood knot to tie the new line to the old. You'll only have to put on 75 yards or less. I've been doing this for quite a while. I have a bunch of reels, both spinning and casting, and this saves me a lot. I have several reels with backing line at least 7 or 8 years old on them.

Good luck,

I wouldn't dare claim that you get backlashes , but repeated backlashes (especially where you pull hard trying to get it loose) cause a ton of kinks in your line. That might be the problem.
