I've had a few birds nests in my days, but never one that bad. That being said, the WORST backlash I've EVER seen was my grandmothers boyfriend that my dad took fishing when I was just a little kid. He was fishing with a regular open faced spinning reel, and manged to get the MOTHER OF ALL backlashes with it. Spent close to an hour getting it all straightened out. My dad was telling him the whole time to cut it out and start over, he refused. The very next cast all that knotted line did it again, EVEN WORSE! Needless to say his refusal to cut it out and start over meant he didn't get to fish all day. Just sat at the back of the boat clearing it out to just do it all over again and again and again. Even with my dad sitting there with a fresh spool of line, he still refused to start over with fresh line. and it wasn't even good line, it was no name crap from WAL MART, and my dad had a brand new spool of BERKLEY TRILENE sitting there waiting.
From then on backlashes were named after him, a JACK!

i cannot throw a baitcaster, there i said it, might be a violation of my man card, but it's the truth.
i cast with spinning rods and bottom fish and troll with levelwinds it does feel good to come out of the closet

I think we have enough spinning guys that we can keep our man cards. Glad for this thread bringing up the subject - I should probably sell my bait casting reel. I let myself think if I got a fairly good one, I'd actually be able to use it

I've had the same bait caster for 20 years. I've babied it along with meticulous maintence, but I'm afraid her days are numbered. Going to have to find another one as nice.
