Default Fishing line can be a pain wound around your axles

I live in an apartment complex that is right next to the water. There are a few people here that fish, myself included. Anyways, I was out trying out my newly widened Pede today and was running it all over the place here, handling was great so I kept going farther away. I was bringing it back towards me and stopped when I looked at the back of it and saw some fishing line dragging off the back so I go to take it off. It wasn't just hanging off the back, it was tightly would around the rear suspension arms and the axle so tight between the bearing and pin I couldn't turn the rear axles by hand. I'm just glad I saw it hanging or who knows what would've broke. That's one thing I can say is I've never cut fishing line and left it laying around. If you fish, please pick up any line you need to cut off.

Good job you noticed the line dragging behind the truck, you might have done some serious damage to the diffs if the line had stayed there and made it more difficult for the shaft to turn.
