BW, I have 50lb PP on a Nautil 7500, Tica Tauraus :rolleyes: and VS 200. I only do a quick pull, no drag, after each cast to make sure there isnt a loop around the knob. Its second nature now. I also manually close my bails. I am often in situations casting into a stiff wind and havent had significant problems.
I had heard of the beakoff problems but not experienced it

Excellent Krisp,

Thanks. That good definetly have been my problem. I would just cast away and not even pay attention. First time I used it was at night (duh) and by third cast I was hosed.

Cheers mate

the wind knots are horrible, but i'm not ready to blame those on power pro...i only experienced it once in a HEAVY breeze in my face..and i haven't had it happen again..

others I know love and swear by whiplash 65#----they laugh at my powerpro and apparently the whiplash cannot be broken

65# Whiplash is the best braid I've ever used.
