Im not happy!

[RL83]

Hi all
as the title suggests im not a happy chappy
filled my multi with brand new red ice and was out at the weekend with it
and got hung up and noticed some of my line was damaged on the retrieve back in you could hear and feel it going threw the top rod eye horrible!!!
was thinking about leaving it in but thought better incase it snapped with god forebid a fish on or damaged my rod tip
luckily the damaged line was only about 50yds into the spool and its a big spool so i can live with that iknow its part and parcel but its frustrating at times!!
wondering if any of you lads have had the same experiances with line or brand new gear thats nakkerd on the first outing

Many times mate, it's all part of the game. Ah once reelined on ss and before letting rip had a practice chuck into the river, i got a small overrun and by the time I got it sorted which was only a couple of seconds I was snagged up, so back to the drawing board with another reline. From that day my practice chucks are always seaward. ha ha. live and learn I suppose

Tears in the eyes spring to mind there mate same as when i let me rod slip with my brand new swedish blue elite on and it got a tiny chip out of the side plate paint, totally devastated and just couldn't live with it, so much that I went and bought a brand new side plate at canny expense and was lucky to get a one.

I wasn't happy on Friday, I was owed some time off work so took an early shout and headed up to the fish quay, got snagged up on three outta four casts, got a call from working calling me back to sort an emergency, then when i got home later i realised I left my breakaway rod rest still strapped onto the ladder at the fish quay...some things just ain't meant to be

Unless you are just lobbing 40 or 50yds you should use a shockleader.
A cracked off lead hitting someone isn,t funny.......

remember years ago when my rod was new a lad cast over me snagged me line and dragged my rod along the metal barrier for about 15ft till it hit the post then it started to lean over the barrier till i got it before it went over was shouting at the guy to stop winding but the idiot keep on even though he could see it all happing
still got the marks on the rod to this day but it gives the rod character
