    Default Lost spool

    I lost a spool this weekend (Sept 12-13). I missed it after a dive at Twin, but it might have been lost in JB the previous day.

    As a side, on my last buddy dive (other than with AL), I noted that the guy who invented the Wilson reel had four spools and no Wilson reels.

    I used spools long before I invented the enclosed reel
    Besides, I did have one in the car. Why would I carry a 1000' reel, when the line at JB is less than 100' from the entrance?

    FWIW, Ben did indeed find my lost spool...thanks Ben!

    Bet he had some Wilson arrows, though.

    As if you had to run the reel anyway Somehow I always get suckered into that....something about least experienced?

    Ben told me he could see my spool from the dock. I guess we had it too stirred up to see it right there

    Mike, Russell wouldn't have been able to see any arrows, I don't "wear" them like epaulettes
