I was recently surprised to find a wire supplier loading 13.2 lbs of wire on my same old P5 spool. Boy was I happy!!! 2.2 more pounds of wire per spool means I can sit on my butt that much longer before having to load a new spool up. Sounds like a no-brainer right???
Eeeeegggggggg (buzzer sounds)!!!!!
It seems that extra 2.2 pounds throws everything out of whack. Don't know if they use more tension when spooling or if the engineer who designed the P5 spool knew what he was talking about when he said 11 pounds is enough, but I have had nothing but headaches until that extra 2.2 pounds comes off. Once I get down to the diameter of an 11 pounder, everything is kewl. Anyone else notice this on the overloaded 13.2's???
