Thanks guys, guess I spooled with the line spool 90* out. I know about reeling against drag---always use a ball bearing swivel---PB will cruise @ 20kts so is a glove/rag OK to control line leaving reel or control it with light drag? I'm tending toward the glove/rag method...and yes, clear the last buoy & check for cross-traffic before starting this...and use a rod holder-so much easier...
