I have a 9ft rod with a VS150 and no matter what braid I use it is wind knot city the braids pack to loose when using pencil poppers. The only braid I did not try was Fireline 14 # test. Dont know if that would work, Oh and yes I stripped some line after the cast and would re-pack the line every 5 casts. I think I will be trying mono on this set up. Anyone using a good mono or anything else that works well. I love braid but not for this set up I have no problems with other rods and bigger reels. What line and # test to use?
