| Multipliers at night Having 'mastered' casting with a multi in day - moved onto night casting ie. you cant see the lead land at night However, learning fast to understand the multi and noises and sounds it makes on its journey  Learned to watch the spool spin and ignore the lead and break at the right moment ... so far so good ... Question 1 is - should you be breaking to a dead stop or just slow it down ? I have also noticed that trying to break the spool, it will always rotate a few times no matter how hard you break due to intertia of the lead etc. Will this braking with a thumb burn the line through friction  I went through a phase of thumb against the spool and apart from a burnt thumb - the line would just snap with hand strength & any slight snag .... worried that braking will cause the same problem .... Q2 - To aleviate any friction on the line - which is better - bare thumb or rubber ? Ta guys ... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !

| Re: Multipliers at night Cheer up Rob you cant help where your born  Back to your fishiong question ,i just stop it dead with my thumb,you can get a little bit of over run but not as much that it will mess up. You never had any probs the other night,and i think your doing really well now with the multi (that was my atempt to cheers you up and give you an internet hug) __________________ One day i will post a catch report again. |

| Re: Multipliers at night Ah thanks m8  I thought I was doing really well too - not a single overrun or birdie but concerned in case of friction burns  I will worry no more ... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !

| Re: Multipliers at night I currently stop my multipliers with me thumb, however AndyG gave me a lession in pendulum casting at eastney the other day, and stopping it with thumb was not such a good idea, as initially panicked by the line peeling off it tried to stop it mid chuck, and christ did my thumb hurt. __________________ It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming. ~John Steinbeck |

| Re: Multipliers at night with practice you should feel the rod go lighter when the lead hits the water,. thats when you put your thumb on the spool |
