It’s true what they say about braided line, it is a lot more sensitive than mono.
That’s interesting about putting on wicked tight. When ever I noticed a knot in my spinning reel, I would cast out as far as it would go and then have to pull line out by hand for another minute or so. The knot was always way in the back. Could never figure out how the hell I could get a knot inside the section of line that had never left the spool.
