reel set up

[warrior]

This was an older retired guy and after going to his house I could tell that everything was legit. Amongst all his gear he had one other reel still in the box, everything else was used but well taken care of. It looked like 50 years of stuff by my estimation.

Is it cheaper to buy the Spectra and fill it myself or go into a shop?

depends. but, a shop will have the machine and can put it on level and tight. it has to go on tight. spectra is a bitch if it isn't on right. mono isn't as big a problem with that. the good news is that you'll not need to replace the spectra for a long long time. so, even if it's more expensive, it's really a longer term thing.
