ASKIN'TIPS SL from . .. Tom *

> Today we’re going to talk about the bane of all fishennen who use a levelwind reel, a #&(g)X*±l! backlash. You can spend hours picking out one, if you don’t know how, so let’s talk about how to go about it. A backlash, in simple terms, is a muss-up in your line caused by your not stopping the spool when the lure stops pulling on the line. An overrun, really. So, adjust the braking mechanism on your reel so that the spool stops when the lure quits pulling. This helps prevent overruns. However, when you get a £&(q)X:t!! backlash, and all of us do, here’s what to do. Nothing. Lode at it carefully. Locate the line coming from your rod tip, and pull, don’t jerk, on it.

Note the “V” it makes in one loop of line on the spool. Okay, get hold of that “V” and pull it free. Don’t pull loose any loops of line that aren’t the “V” holding the running line. Take your time and work out these “V’s” one at a time until you have unmussed your backlash. An excellent tool for this is one of those little curve-tip fingernail cleaners that come on some pocket knives. And if it’s a really bad £&(<i)X:t!! backlash, use the blade on your knife and cut it out. BRER TOM’S CLOSING TIP: When going to fish in a remote spot, let someone know where to find you in case you get into trouble. This could save you a lot of discomfort, even your life.
