I only use braid.... and here is the tip of the year....no doubt!!!

I don't know why.... but it works....99% of the time for me.

 Nice. Thanks Andy.

Some of my reels get Ande Clear Mono, some get Seaguar Red Label, but a select few get Power Pro.  Catfishing and Offshore is well executed with braid.  My few reels that get Fluorocarbon are usually not fished with a leader, I'm tying directly to the main line so fluoro's improved Light Refraction is a consideration here.  Mono is the cheaper stuff with the usual trade-offs, and I use it where I'll be most often using leaders...Ande is extremely tough.

I'm sittin' here this morning on my cel on this forum, 24 oz. Tervis half-full of coffee and watching guys sight-cast Redfish on TV.  Blessed and not stressed, but too at work to use a Carrot as a Jerk.

That link was useless - I have never had that problem - ever.  Do you have a link that addresses Professional Overruns?  I occasionally / regularly have a problem with those.

What braid / color do you use?

Sunline has some real good products, especially the new finesse florocarbon.

Nice vid Andrew. I'm going to remember that trick. And Jason....all of my snarls like that are non-professional over-runs. Bait casters and I have a limited relationship....that primarily being one of vertical jigging. You know, push the button and when the jig hits the bottom the spool gets engaged. Love'em for that. Hate'm for casting.

If I had a nickel for every backlash I got I could fish Tatsu for life.  My favorite ones are when you just make a normal cast and for no apparent reason they just ball up.  I'm sure there's a reason - I just don't get it - if they've been fishing fine for hours, why they would just explode like that?

Professional overrun.  Ha ha   I'm good at those as well.

I have them on spinning tackle where the loop is 35 yards down on the spool and I haven't had that much line out in 2 months.

"I have them on spinning tackle where the loop is 35 yards down on the spool and I haven't had that much line out in 2 months."

That's just part of the replacement assurance policy that those expensive lines come with.

 ^^^I have NO idea how this happens, but I get'm too. My two most common NASTY backlash causes are...my wacky worm tearing off on the cast, and the occasional bait catching on an unsean overhead limb. Both of these will give you as nasty a birdsnest as could possibly be had.

If you close the bail by hand on the spinning reel by hand it helps keeping the loops out.I have a buddy that tightens his drag a little & pulls the line til the loop pops free to straighten it out.

backlask if it every happens I use black tape I take out about 50yd of line out then put on some tape then reel in a safety crutch

These are the worst for sure.  You can pretty much put that rod down for the day in either scenario.

I like seaguar invizx, and more recently Sunline FC Sniper I use this line in 5lb & 7lb for bass fishing. I fish a lot of clear lakes in Cali and I get bit more with light line.
