Ok i spooled up with trilene xl 14 lb. for my first time up there last weekend.I did catch a nice 9.2lb walleye on it without a problem but the heavy line wanted to auto feed off of my spool. I managed to keep it from birdnesting but it was pretty annoying. I will jump down to a 10-12 lb flouro and see how it performs.Im thinking the heavier line just dont like wrapping around the smaller, tighter spools.Thank you for the reply!
