and if not spooled under pressure,,, a strain on the line , does that aggravate the problem....
It’s a new rod with quick choke and small runners..... 
The albies where laughing 😆 at me......

Pushing the envelope with that line. That before or after wind knots? Also, all reels handle being filled to tip top differently. Not familiar with Battles |

When Power Pro first came out, I got wind knots on all tests I tried below 40#. 40# and up, no wind knots... Just my experience... Can't cast the lighter numbers as hard as I was??? I don't know...

But yes, that spool is over filled, IMHO.

Thanks...
Plan A, keep casting and cutting back at the knots and hope it settles down, along with behind the boat pressure....
Time will tell

You stubborn ol' coot... Do your tensioning behind the boat and when it is just below level with spool, put the rod in the holder and handline in the rest of your line and presumably, your plug. Cut the line off there and move on. No need to get more wind knots or agita, IMO.... |

Did the cut back , walked out about 100 yrds and reeled in with tight drag... the reel back produced even more spool exposed...
1/2 oz Pimple over at the soccer field,,,, all systems go... :-)
I’ve always stopped the cast at the end and manually closed the bail...
Well maybe not always, but definitely after you flakes told me to...
