Why does this not surprise me Sharpie?  :o ;D

I'm gonna run all the line off the spool, and respool and see how it lays again before changing anything....

It's because I catch so much. The braid shape on the spool just can't take the heat.  ;D

Exactly.

/  \ would put you in windknot hell. Go for straight |   |, but if you experience windknots, hand wind the first meter or so of line towards the top of the spool to get a very, very slight  \  /. Removing a washer results in too much change in line lay.
