I just had to have one of those neat spin-cast reels. Dad saw no use for them and their "plastic line that you can't tie a damned knot in"; the old non-free spool bait-casters were plenty good. He finally broke down and got me a black Zebco (don't know the number). Like all kids then, now, and forever, I didn't keep tension on the line when I reeled it in and had a glorious mess wrapped around the axle instead of the spool. Cap at Cap's Tackle in 'boji straightened it out.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
