thanks for the feedback smiley, I will give it a whirl with one knob and see how it is for springs. If it wobbles I will have to order a new knob as I have no idea where the original is. When you get knuckle dusted with those it hurts lol.it was setup for hali previously by my father-in-law. I am running mono on it , its been a long time since I used one of those- no mistaken the scream of the reel when you hit a fish, unlike some of the new reels that have to be adjusted to get the ratchet noise loud enough so you can hear it if you are not paying attention.
