an even BIGGER more important tip, is to make sure you tighten down your spool, casting big weights with a loose spool could lead to you cutting or losing the tip of your finger

Re: tip of the day for fixed spool users
Must say, that is something I ever even thought about. Now that I do think about it, it makes sense. It hurts when I think too much. Thanks for the tip. 
I don't fish to catch fish. I just like using the gear.
If you think I am narky now, you should hear me when I'm in bad humour.

Re: tip of the day for fixed spool users
pumping in fish or big clumps of weed in the tide with the spool fully up does more damage
