Thanks for all the great tips. I spooled some 40# braid (Stren I think) on an Abu Garcia Silver Max and made some of the adjustments you all suggested and things are much better now. Still need a lot of practice though.
Ok, I have a very noob question. I am trying to use braid on a baitcaster and I am having issues with casting. When I cast, it is like I get an instant bird nest in the middle of the cast and the line suddenly stops and the lure slams into the water. I have tried three different brands of braid, 20# and 30#, and two different reels. I just don't know what I am doing wrong. I generally don't get a bird nest with mono or fluorocarbon. Any ideas?
