knots in powerpro

I use powerpro on my Penn 750 and my 5600 live liner and I have no problems. I do tend the line fairly attentively and make sure that I have no loose loops at the spool after each cast. However, this isn't so easy when fishing at night.

I find the keys are: a) don't throw too light of a lure given wind conditions. I also keep two spools for my reels, one with mono (I like the Yo-Zuri hybrid) and b) upon spooling up initially, make sure that that the line is nice and tight. A lose "spool-up" creates problems down the road.

Every now and then, I take a heavy lure (whatever the max the rod can handle) and make some VERY long casts with the wind at my back, and inspect the spool for any loops, then pinch the line on retrieve to make sure it comes up tight. This is very easy if you occassionaly fish from a boat. A little "preventative maintenance."

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
