fishpart, thanks. I found that these "wind knots" are casued due the line going on the spool without much tension. (ie if I fish a small needle on a windy night, it might tend to knot up on casting once some twist is intorduced to the line) If I hace a 3.5 oz gibbs swimmer that is not a problem anymore. By reducing the amount of line on the spool (filling it 90% instead of 100%) helps a little.
I use to use a very limp mono from berkley that did cast well in cold weather and I even use to put this line lube on it as well every night after fishing and it would cast like no tomorrow and rarely wind knot, but it was very poor for fishing in, around and over rocks. It would nick up real fast. If the line were to just lay on the rocks and a wave came by, you would have to cut it off back to the spool it was knicked so bad, just one wave. If you were on a sandy beach it was fine. So I have like a half dozen spools with differnent line for different conditions. This fall I striped all the line off all my spools and put the same on everthing, yozuri. So I feel the Yozuri is in the middle of the road, it is a little stiffer and does wind knot but I de-spool some line and I can get by. But I am not a huge fan of this product either. I was hoping these new super lines might solve all the line problems but perhaps not.
