No bud . Done a lot of wreck fishing in my early years ( mono fulfillment days ) and the braid just looks tooooo thin ! It was common to get a 15/20 lb cod on the bottom pirk and 2x pollock or ling on the muppets above . Been out of the game for so long just need to catch up .

Ok you sea fishing types . I am very old school and lack confidence in modern braid coz I have never used it before . It just looks toooooo thin ! I understand there is less drag on thin line . I like to fill the spool on my boat reels as you get the best ratio of retrieve if the spool is full . just put 300 meters of Berkley Whiplash 100 lbs on a Penn senator 6/0 and the spool is barely half full . Should I put a backing line on first and can you join it with a standard " fisherman's knot ? If I wanted to fill the whole reel with whiplash it would cost a hell of a lot . I have 2x 6/0 2x 4/0 and 1 x 9/0 . The 9/0 would cost a fortune . What do you guys do in this situation ?

I think the shorter laminated bars that came with 346 and the like were made by Cadburys .

I remember when I first started work at 16 I could not believe someone could be on their feet for the whole day ! ?

I have burnt it from time to time with no problems .

Because everything to do with the cutter is tapered ( from the cutting face back ) to give clearance . When you have sharpened a cutter back a long way the lower part of the gullet can end up as wide as the top plate or a bit wider and this will cause it to rub in kirf . So yea . Clean out the gullets from time to time .

Its not THAT critical . You can make it cut with pretty much any round file in the saw sharpening range .

I was walking with my spaniel one summer and just in front of my face there was a sudden collision . What I think was a Hobby ( small blueish hawk ) took a swallow in mid flight .

The Drakes might be " in eclipse " . They do this after breeding and grow a temporary set of flightless ,sorta dowdy feathers . That's why sometimes you cant tell the Ducks from the Drakes . This lasts for a few weeks then they regrow their flight feathers and off they go . @AJStrees
