While doing the servicing and upgrading of the Daiwa Millionaire Proteus 300, I didn't bother to avoid touching the fishing line with my oily hand as I had the intention to get them replaced once I completed the job.

I got this Penn Tournament 18lbs fishing line which is IGFA Class, I bought this when the shop was having the sales, it was a steal. This fishing line is also being loaded on my Abu Garcia, I love the smoothness on casting as well as the toughness.

The old fishing line on the Daiwa Millionaire was stiff and was tainted with oil, this would reduce the chances of getting bite as fishes don't really like the smell of the oil.

When respooling the line we need to take note that due to the Multiplier/Baitcast reel has the horizontal spool, the drum of the new line need to be placed horizontally as well. This will greatly help on minimized fishing line from twisting and entangled during casting, the "Bird Nest" scenario is what we hate to faced when fishing. The theory is that we need to load the new fishing line according to it's memory. On a Spinning reel we need to place the drum vertically as it has a vertical spool.

I prefer to have the starting point at the center of the spool, I found that it's more balance and the fishing line is more even. A simple Uni knot will hold the line firm with another knot at the tag end. Slowly reel in from center to right then to left, the fishing line need to be tightly grab with another hand. Some anglers place the new fishing line drum inside a pail of water as they claimed more lines can be loaded into the spool. I never try it and I don't really buy that theory.

The Rippingtons: Tourist in Paradise

From Wikipedia:

The Rippingtons are a contemporary group mainly relating to the genres Smooth jazz, Jazz pop, and Crossover jazz. Formed in 1986 by guitarist and band leader Russ Freeman (not to be confused with the jazz pianist of the same name), their career has spanned two decades. With a revolving door of musicians, Freeman has been the only consistent member.

In the early to mid 90s they were more of a jazz/rock instrumental band, but since 1999 they have developed more into the Smooth Jazz genre. Many of their songs have also been played during The Weather Channel's local on the 8's forecast segments. The band's mascot is a smiling, sunglasses-wearing, jazzy "hep cat" which appears in the artwork of all the band's releases and on their official website.

Tourist in Paradise is their third record, released May 1989. Highlights include "Tourist in Paradise" (spoiler alert- PAN FLUTE SOLO), "Aruba!", and "Earthbound", while their take on Al Green's classic "Let's Stay Together" is nothing short of appalling. 

It's also worth mentioning that one of their former members is none other than Kenny G.
