Ive been having a problem with pike peeling about 50 feet of line, taking my minnow and leaving unhooked. I'm just using red #8 treble on a leader of 30 pound fireline with a less than a 1/4 oz sinker on the leader. so i dont think the fish is feeling weight and dropping the bait. my question is does it matter on these tip ups if the line needs to be spooled clockwise or counter clockwise??? and if this is affecting the fishes run if i am spooling line backwards.....any suggestion's would be appreciated.
