Actually two, three, or more times a year this happens to me, mainly
because I back my drag off a bit more than most, this keeps me from ever
getting broke off, but I do get spooled, and when I have just a few
wraps left, I have to tighten up the drag, actually I start putting more
resistance as the line supply gets lower, put have had to choke it down
all the way near the end of the spool.
For me I need that backing to be as strong as the rest of the line.
I've had 325+ yds of 20# test strung out from the beach on quite a few
occasions, those 8 foot Bull sharks, can really spool the line off, and
from the beach, there is no running it down to get line back
This spring I caught a 11+ Hybrid strip on an ultra light rig ,and 6 lb
test, she spooled me three times (got were I could see the spool through
what little line was left on the reel), in that 43 min. fight
