warm water will not hold onto dissolved oxygen as well as cold water. so thats another factor to think about too.

never submerged anything overnight or for extended periods before spooling, just stick it in a bucket at the point of spooling. will be fine to do straight off the spool

they will only crack if you over tighten them mate. leather washer such as the Gardner ones always help

Godalming closing was based around DO levels & heat IIRC. Broadwater was showing I think signs of a lower DO as well as losing some perch. Probably took the idea of a blanket closure as a measure of safety.

having been using the 0.10 32lb Berkley Whiplash for the spring, I'd recommend AGINST it for any majorly repetitive work (think 3 buckets a week for instance) had it go at the clip once, and weirdly another time it went when I had an issue with anti reverse slipping on while spamming (both times got it back mind you)

great caster, will send a lead miles. but for harsh repeated spombing, probably not the best. was used in conjunction with a 50lb Spomb leader.

I've always used Krill & Manilla mixed together with a dose of Tigers thrown in the mix. never done me any harm keeping the items whole or very large chops means I can use the mix with either bottom bait or popup over the top too
