Anything for you man. I did have a problem with my Alpha II reel with the RIO .024 running line. When casting, the running line would find it's way through the reel where the gap between the spool and the housing is. It happened 1 out of 5 times... I sent it back to AFF and they swapped the housings which helped... But it still is a problem with that thinner running line. With that said, order the .030 running line. I never had the airflo line do it (.030). I also had a chance just recently with my Alpha II where I was pulling line off the reel to cast, and the drag just started to free spin.... Had to break everything down on the spot to see what happened, everything was tight, not a clue what happened. Put it all back together and it hasn't happened since...? Really strange. Hoping something was just loose that I didn't see and fixed it.
I wish I was still around in Utah, currently in New Orleans. I'm getting depressed seeing everyone post up they're heading to the salmon river the past few weeks... [
] I wanna go SOOOOO BAD!!!! It's hard finding rivers wide enough around us to practice casting. There's a few places on the weber near morgan fair grounds that are fairly wide. Otherwise I'd just hit a community pond or lake to practice.
