Larry,
I'm asking this question because I like the thin aspect and strength of braid line, but it can be a pain when casting.
I tried using braid line once and had trouble. I kept getting tangles when casting. ((spinning reel) Quantum boca 60 to be exact)) I went back to conventional line. I stripped the braid line off and later used it on my smaller spinning reels for skipjack blues in my local salt pond.
I got a few tangles on the small tackle but not as often. As I used the line more and more I didn’t get as many.
Am I dreaming or did the line get fewer tangles as it got more wear. I did notice that there was a coating on the line that wore off as it got older. Is this the issue or is it me.
Steve
