The flange on the spool broke off and went flying through the sideplate. At about 125 yards in it suddenly go stiff and exploded. I put 10# cabelas proline as a backing and the mainline Triline 10# Floro. I have a Revo X spinning reel that has performed well so I figured why not? I got it Saturday and yesterday went to go put line on it. I decided to get a cheap cranking set up so on Prime Day I got a deal on a Revo X Winch.
