Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 4MR friday

Qhat sort of tape? Ice always just put a base of 4lb mono. Tape would be a lot cheaper

If you choose to spool braid, be sure to use tape in addition to a good knot when attaching the line to the arbor. if you do not use tape braid can slip around the arbor and elimiate your retrieve.

I was hoping to catch some crappie but the enormous amount of surface action wasn't biting top water flies or nymphs so I gave up and switched over to a spoon and caught a little smallmouth. Has anyone ever respooled line on a spinning real? The line is so old that it comes out loopy when cast and contracts when drifted. Any insight would be appreciated
