Nowadays, on almost every weekend it's "always" a problem and Memorial Day is just around the corner!
    I remember a time when the permanent line at Devil's started at Hill 400. That is the reason the DiveRite red primary reel holds 400' of line

    It took so long to run the reel to the start of the main line, that most divers hit thirds around the Maple Leaf. There were very few scooters around then, so it was a multi-stage dive to get to the Henkel.

    Put the polypropylene line back in then you have something to pull on!
