Are you overfilling the spools......with the memory in the mono and if you are over filling they'll start to unravel on their own....try taking off some line and see if that helps.

Try soaking the mono in water before spooling. I do this to all my freshwater reels, and it seems to get rid of any memory problems, packs on tighter too. Load the reel while the mono is still wet.

Likely overfilling as it is a fresh load however the mono stays on the spool to begin with no problems: no twist, no unspooling. It is after a few bait releases and retrieves that the issues start.
3 BR's are 6500 and 1 BR is the 4500.
I originally had all PowerPro but started to go with mono after loosing some nice fish on the PP (50lb). |

the scientific method
any time your doing an experiment
you need a control to measure against
so you could single out one BR to just cast a "heavy plug"
for distance
try five or six cast and retrieves and see how it works....

Agreed! This is part of the scientific method, actually. |

Can also be causing issues if the stripping guide is too small for the reels. lots of slap and odd line issues.
50 is way too high IMHO. I won't put Mono over 20 on most spinning reels, 30 on one used in really gnarly areas.... |

live is possibly twisting during releases and retrieves. line twist + overfill results in the issues that your having, where overfill without line twist may not. |

I never cared for the baitrunner line of reels but what Josh said is right.
If you are livelining, Macs, Pogies, Scup whatever. You should be using a conventional. Gives you better control with the reel in free spool and the clicker on. Just my opinion and it's what I have found to be successful

How do you manage 4 rods at once? Its fun with bait runners, can't imagine what it would be like with with conventionals.... |

I spent the whole day casting a Avet with backlash after backlash, so I'm a little against the convech thing... So if I just put the clicker on that will stop the reel from backlashing? Interesting? Does it matter if I have 50 lb braid on it?
Buzz we'll need to try that next time... |

What Bryan said.
For the record, why 4 rods at once? If you have 2 out you are fine. 4 rods with 4 live baits swimming is asking for trouble with crossed lines. What happens if you get 2 takes at once? 2 guys you are fine. 3 or 4 takes and unless you have 3 or 4 guys someone is going to get tangles, crossed or break off. |

This makes sense, when you're reeling in the line is likely not wound as tight on the spool as when they were first loaded.
