Having 'mastered' casting with a multi in day - moved onto night casting ie. you cant see the lead land at night
However, learning fast to understand the multi and noises and sounds it makes on its journey
Learned to watch the spool spin and ignore the lead and break at the right moment ... so far so good ...
Question 1 is - should you be breaking to a dead stop or just slow it down ?
I have also noticed that trying to break the spool, it will always rotate a few times no matter how hard you break due to intertia of the lead etc. Will this braking with a thumb burn the line through friction :g:
I went through a phase of thumb against the spool and apart from a burnt thumb - the line would just snap with hand strength & any slight snag .... worried that braking will cause the same problem ....
Q2 - To aleviate any friction on the line - which is better - bare thumb or rubber ?
