From what I've been reading on the internet, I've made it more difficult than necessary. Thinking like a trout fisherman where ultralight is the way to go, I spooled the Penn 146 with 15 lb mono -- not the best idea. I did reduce the amount of backlash after following some the advice from you guys. I decided to switch to my Daiwa Sealine 50H that is spooled with 65 lb spectra. The good news is that I didn't have a single bird's nest. The bad news is that I can't get the plug to go further than 20 feet. I don't have the spool tension set very high either. Maybe I need more weight? More practice tomorrow.
