[QUOTE="Allen, post: 71303, member: 389"] Yeah, I just tie directly onto my cranks as well. Once in a while I get the WTF happened here moment when the kids hand me a reel all fubar'd. That's when I whip out the leatherman and just start unspooling line until I get to where we are again using non-kiddefied fishing line. Yes, I know it costs more to completely fill a spool with PP or other braid, but when push comes to shove the cost of line is one of my cheapest investments while angling. A 1500 yd spool of PP really helps in this example for completely filling the reels to start with. In the rare times that I do need (want) to use a long mono leader I also use a barrel swivel for tying things together. I must use really cheap but durable guides as I have never damaged one reeling the barrel into it. Heck of a lot more likely that they get bent from being jammed into the rod lockers. [/QUOTE]
