    I haven't really been in any windy places bootytrain, and I see where you come from GaterB, I am hoping that once I go in to get new line I won't have to worry about my backlash problem once I get the 40 ib braid! Any brand suggestions? I have 20 ib trilene should I change my brand? I have to shop at bass pro shop cause I don't know of any other good fishing stores besides buying online but I cannot do that on such short notice since I am trying to fish tomorrow. Also another problem I see is as Tywithay said it doesn't spool on very tight, I mean I am new to bait casters and sometimes it feels like the line is kinda loose, is it just me or what can I do to prevent that?

    Does braid that large tie the fun out of bass fishing though? I mean large mouths and small mouths don't get anywhere near that size right?

    True, thank you for all the posts! I'll keep all these in mind!

    Every time I cast I always make sure when the lure drops it doesn't spool out of control, in fact not even at all, and I have become pretty good at doing this part before casting each time I change my lures.

    My braid is only 20 ibs which might be my problem and I always check my cast control before each cast so I don't think thats my problem either. I really want to try mono just to see the difference plus as I've looked I have seen it for pretty cheap in bulky amounts, so any tips on different brands would be great, thanks for the responses!

    After, it will release and it just catches and boom, backlash. I haven't used braid for that long and its about to run out so I can just get new line if making the switch will help improve my chances of less backlash

    Hello Everyone! My name is Micah, and I am not only new to this forum, but also new to fishing; which explains why I am having some trouble first starting out with my bait caster... I have used it only a few times no problem, but for some reason out of the blue I get a wild backlash after maybe 20 or 30 good casts, and I do not think I am doing anything to trigger it. I think its my braided line, some of my buddies suggested a switch to mono, What do you guys here on the forums think? I just want some tips or any ideas on what type of line I should get, right now its Trilene braided, would a switch to mono get rid of that occasional nasty backlash, or am I actually doing something wrong?
