Just bought Mitchell 300 last week. Used it for the first time on Saturday. I spooled Spiderwire Stealth (20lb./6lb diameter). I have never used this line before. I fought that reel all day and finally put it away. For lack of better term, I kept experiencing "backlash" type of problems. The line going out while casting would somehow grab the line deeper in the spool and pull it out causing a huge cluster@*%!. To get it out I would have to cut or delicatley pull out yard after yard of line until it was farther down the spool. Is it the line, open face combo or the way it was spooled...????? Any insight would be mutch appreciated. Thanks Brent
When I put them up at the cabin a week ago, and these where the windows ones I immediately had 3 male Orioles on them.
Then haf as many as 7 hummers on or hovering around the same feeder. After the 4th day we filled all 3 windows feeders daily, they were nutz.
Not the best pic because of the screen but I've never had 4 hummingbirds at the same feeder at one time. Alot of the time there is 1 and then another comes and chases the one away. What happens at your hummingbird feeders?
