Well, I took the line out today and hung it over the edge, then did some even pressure pulls on the line looped over the rail. Reeled it all in, and.... very little change. So, I'll chalk it up to a really cheap line. I bought the reel/backing/line/leader on clearance at Sports Authority for about $16. The Reel is a Pflueger 1394, with a 6 wt level floating line. I was mainly getting it for the reel, just to have another one. Then decided to get my son a rod, and this would be the reel for it. I have another combo pack (my first fly rod combo) that had about 50 feet of 5 or 6 wt line that I don't remember tangling. I'll put that on until I can get a better one.
Thanks for all of your help everybody!
