BACKLASH...OUCH. Has happened to me so many times that I have given up trying on the FW to cast with these guys. I know, I know, many swear by them, but I have tried and tried and have come to the realization that some guys can fish them and some can't. I can't:rolleyes

I think that I could place a lure on the top of GW's head on a quarter at any reasonable distance with a spinning rod, but could not hit the broad side of a barn with a baitcasting reel.

Good luck with the new purchase
