There are 2 reasons why u get the so called windknots.One is the spool is overfilled.An the second is the line is laying on the spool too soft.
If the spool is overfilled the line will dig slightly when u lay into a cast an pull the line below it off the spool in coils that donot unravel on there own.these coils are what make the knots.
When using some lures that have little resistance on the retrive
like needles or some metals.U will notice the line wraps on the spool
softer than i might normally.
When u cast the line will dig in from the weight of the lure an the force of the cast.This digging into the soft line will cause the coils to pull out from underneath again.Reeling up fast or with some tension only fixes the problem for one cast.
The best thing u can do is take some line off.I know its hard to do cause it is expensive an u hate to lose any line an ur distance may suffer some.But it is usually the only thing to fix the problem.I always have the tackle shop put the line on the reel.as when u reel in on urself when u try to make it tight it has a tendencey of pulling up towards the top of the spool.So u end up with line on the spool that is narrow on the bottom an fatter towards the lip.This will also give ya trouble.
