Aloha-
So, I've got a Beuchat Mundial 100 and I recently lent it to a buddy of mine. Apparently he stored it for a month or two with the 12 ft mono shooting line unwrapped... and in sort of a tangle too.
I've tried wrapping the line again, but the line is several inches too short of the hook, and when i muscle it into place, theres a LOT of tension on the release hook. Ultimately it just overloads the hook and the whole thing pops open.
I assume that the mono has just contracted over time and this results in too much pressure on the release? I disconnected the line, laid it out, and put it under traction in an attempt to stretch it out again over a couple days or something.
Is this the right solution or should i just get a new line?
thanks!
