Fishing lures that don't put enough tension on the line when you retrieve. It seems that if you have too much slack in the line like when you fish an unweighted jerk bait the combination of twist and slack line can throw a knot in.

A quality swivel should help the situation.

Also in regards to light lures, you can't muscle them during the cast. Also if possible, if you can get out on a boat let all the line out as you are under way and reel back in with tension on the line. Seems to help in the long run.

Or every now and then tie the line to your mailbox and walk it down to the backing and have a nice walk back to the mailbox

(do not attempt this at home if your home is on Main St)
