Nice job on the Valentine butts Gavin!!
I too had the same problem with P-line.... from looking at the picture of your reel, it looks like you might have too much line on it. P-line is very stiff when its new but it softens up with time. But when it's new and there's too much on the reel, you'll get tangles all the time. Try removing about 50-60 feet of line and then try it. It should start getting softer after about 10 trips.
Once again good job on the butts during the winter
