Don't get discouraged. Yes a hundred bucks is an expensive lesson and yes there is a learning curve involved with every presentation but wire divers are a deadly presentation. Spooling and running wire is not difficult you just have to know how to do it. Post up your questions here before you attempt something new and in most cases you will receive sound advice that will shorten your learning curve and in some cases save you some money. I run mono divers as well as braid when the conditions dictate and I won't leave the dock without my wires in the boat. Good luck and Happy New Year.
