that seems to be my problem as well, clearing the guides without catching them! I agree that this new power pro is troublesome I am consistantly getting what looks like wind knots. I have tried several things to try to remedy the problem, like letting my line out in the current without anything on it including a swivel to let the line spin out, Spro swivels, low casts in windy conditions, keeping the sag out of the line, and on and on all with no avail. I have had power pro on another rod of mine for three years with flawless performance?
I will give the alberto knot a shot it looks like an interesting variation thanks for the tip. does anyone out there have any suggestions about other hybred lines? I fish both conventional and spin, I hav'nt had the guts to throw a hybred on the conventional yet and may never, but would like an option that may be better than power pro

It sounds like your using a spinner. I've never had any luck w/ANY knots passing through the guides w/spin gear.
