Grossy, do you have the magnets glued in your reel or is it a static mag conversion? I know it is a big spool reel. I would try putting 20lb mono backing and then 17lb. Fill about 1/8 to top of spool. If you have a static mag do like Coop said, all the way in, and back off your spool tension knob a little. Short cast at first to seat your line. Remember try to put line back on your reel in a cotton weave style, this way your line will not dig into itself. Remember you are not casting a spinning reel, slow and easy. Now if your magnets are glued in, (how many) know you are going to set spool tension and thumb education to the test. Practice... Stan
