A lot depends on the reel, line and lure balance. My 704z w/ 65#pp never ever windknots. I throw big lures with it. My 710z w/30# pp sometimes windknots if the lure is light, under 1oz. my 712z with 20#pp will windknot if I throw something lighter than say a Bomber. You've probably noticed that I use 700 Z series reels. Thats because SS series are windknot machines. It should be pronounced wyndknot, wind has nuttin to do with it. Oh, and keep your bail roller lubed. Good question, Rich. Many answers and angles to this one.
