I use 20# Fireline on my Zs and 30# stealth on a Spheros. I would not use mono again.
A couple of questions
1. Is your spool too full?
2. Make sure there is not a loop when you close your bail.
A little patience while you try it is a help, the difference in feel is amazin
Good luck

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I had tons of trouble with what i called torque knots until I started using those expensive small ball bearing swivels.

What kind of a reel is it? Not every spinning reel can handle soft spun braid, but I've yet to find one that can't handle Fireline.

Instead of 20# whatever, try 10# Fireline and see if that helps

Don't worry about the strength. 10# Fireline is stronger than 20# braid.
