First time using braid, having a lot of issues…….
The combo is a Johnny Morris carbon light 7 foot medium heavy fast and I have it paired with 20 pound spider wire braid, I am not necessarily new to bait casters but im still working on getting better. I’ve always ran floral carbon on my other rod and never had these issues though— my first issue is, I can’t get the braid to stop biting into itself I have the line spooled tightly and relatively even but every time I cast, and it’s just slightly bit in the cast is basically ruined bc it causes my Lure to stop midflight and this includes heavier lures too….. I don’t know if that’s normal or not but it’s really annoying. It seems like it bites in anytime A little bit of pressure is put on the line. my second problem—and I know this sounds weird. But it literally won’t backlash. I can completely loosen this tension and let a lure fall to the ground and all I have to do is take out 6 inches of line as it’s already completely fixed, can somebody more experienced to help me out with this?
