braid in the surf

I have loved my braid since I switched to it. I haven't really had too many knot problems like some people. I keep my line untwisted which I think is the real culprit.

I usually don't fish beaches with surf too often. I managed a trip to Nauset last weekend and fished braid on the beach for the first time. Man was it a problem. I would reel in my rig to find my leader and fish finder tangled around the braid way too often. I think the suppleness of braid lets it get tumbled around in the surf too easily. (which is why knots in braid are much worse than knots in mono) This is one area where the natural springiness of mono would be an advantage.

Anyone else experience this and have an opinion?

Lookin for my big'un!
