Order a 50yd topshot from basil of 80# line (whatever your preference is). I imagine this is your bottom/heavy chunk rig?

I think the knot is tied good. I HOPE!!!
I have never used the vet wrap before but I am now thinking it might be a good idea. The Penn has some grip on the spool unlike my other reels but, better safe than sorry.
I guess we can let it all out and then tie it off. I can then put on the vet wrap? and the re-spool the line. The line I have on it is JB 130#. I also have 2 topshots made up for this reel and they are 80#. I had a big spool of 80# laying around and after learning to make the windons I decided to make a lot of stuff.
This will be the bottom /chunking rig, but I will mainly let my Pops use it as I will not mind switchin the new John Baker between jiggin and chunking so that I can try it in different situations.
Plus after my conversation with John he is putting a reel together specifically, with the mod I needed, for me at no extra charge. He just asked that I give an in depth report of how the reel worked for me...
