For me that usually coincides with the overfilled spool getting cut back to the proper level on the spool..
I like Fireline when it's new.Gives me a feeling of invincibility.

within the last two years I swapped over to spinning reels and was dreading using braid on a spinner. I did have a few breakoffs due to the bail flipping over or the cup of the spinner rotating and catching the line but never any problems using with wind knots or the line laying on the spool.

After you close your bail by hand, try pulling down 6in or so of line down off the spool before your retrieve. Saves alot of problems of overloops that can form over the spool and cause cut offs.

yup....I instinctively pull the line to make sure things are good every time I close the bail.......2nd nature......also pull the opposite way(just a little tug,tug)before you open the bail to feel if braid is wrapped around the tip of the rod....so you dont have foul ups that way or cast off a beautiful plug....another good thing to do is wet PP or braid on the spool before first cast every time out.......
