Squidco invited me to come back down and "they will take care of me" (their customer service is always great.) I don't want to impose if the problem was mine, but none of my other lines have tangled on me like that.

My regular textured, kelp-cutting 65# PowerPro zings out for long distance casts, and has never tangled on me.

It's possible that my new reel was loaded with a product called "Power Pro Super Slick" .... and indeed it is: super slick. I asked for green and the color is more of a seafoam green than it is a forest green. Power Pro website touts Super Slick as a premium product.

What they show as "aqua green" does not represent the color of the line I have.
