    Cheers Billy, planning on doing a bit of jiggery pollockary this year, which is when I usually get the odd wind knot, likely from the constant tight and slack, so my fault
    I'm making "slow jigs" which are actually just lead poured into the groove when you bend a tin can.
    (I use the empty gas canisters from the stove for extra danger) 👍

    I just use a bucket of water, the air pocket in the spool will keep the label up and line pealing off the front, also a bit wet line helps it lay better.

    Wish I'd known this before the first time I tried braid. Winter Cod fishing in Arbroath, 90lb braid, with a mono rubbing leader. First cast ripped the ceramic insert out of my split new SKS Black. Still use braid but went down to 50, with a braid shock leader as per your advice. Fished in some horrific conditions with no issues. I will say 8 strand behaves better than 4 strand does though. Live and learn though, I use an Okuma 8K Surf and it's line lay for the money it cost is Beautiful. Highly recommend one of them BTW. Copes easy with the rough stuff. I use that paired with a 14ft SKS black and it'll fish anywhere, even kelp beds.

    maybee just under 100yds..sometimes im in a small deck chair as me back is buggered..Dug out old gear. fixed spool ,Mono .80g sinker on a 10ft and flinging it out without no issues..just like riding a bike ! changed my line to mono pre fill and 200 of 30lb braid, 100lb braid leader....constant line knots and snap offs....looked up and so much back and forth with what people say to rectify it...

    Billy, you're a top Guy. Thanks for the useful & interesting video. Thought I'd try Braid on my Penn Surfblaster & Continental rod. WInd knots every other cast. Tried every trick and no change. Took the Braid off and put it on my Shimano 3000 & 4000 spinning reels - no problems. Only other thing I have found it that I was using an SG Surf Seeker spinning during the summer, and started getting line tangles. Didn't realise that a Surf Seeker rotates 360 degrees on the drop, so it was putting twists in the line. Now use a small swivel on the lure clip, and it seems to have helped. Stay safe & well - Dave.

    @kphh7029 Рік тому +1

    Personally wind knots what ever you want to call them when fishing with braid is to do with the distance from the front of reel to the first guide.
    Braid comes of quick bigger loops nylon comes of smaller loops.
    Fish reel down or get rid of first guide.
    I make sure I have a distance of 120cm from reel to first guide nothing to do with how the braid is put on or how tight you put it on.
