Trouble with braid?

[rnvinc]

I have found the most common issue with spinning reels is a mysterious loop of line forming on the reel ... that consequentially causes a mess in the very next cast ...

This mysterious loop of line on the reel is created by where the bail rotation position is at the end of any particular cast ...

The bail (in certain positions around the perimeter of the reel) can cause slack in the line (around the spool wrap) at the very instant of engaging the reel (with the handle) ...

This “slack” of the line (in the reel wrap around the spool) can be “grabbed” by the forward momentum (of the line exit from the spool) of the very next cast ... which pulls the line off the spool at the “slackened segment” of line spool wrap ...

This phenomenon can be completely prevented by mentally creating a habit of …:

1. Use the off casting hand to close the bail after casting (DO NOT USE THE HANDLE TO START REELING) ...
2. Use the off casting hand to physically pull the line forward in front of the reel to take up any slack in the very first line wrap around the spool after casting (BEFORE EVER STARTING THE LINE RETRIEVE) ...

After practice, using the off casting hand to “close the bail and pull the line forward” will be one motion and … well ... habitual ...

This habit works with mono, floro, or braid ...regardless of line lb strength ...

This habit does not help with braid rod tip wrap problems ...
