Thanks for the help everyone! I took jimmyjoe's & islandbass' advice and re-spooled with 40 lb PowerPro and fished for 2 plus hours today.....and no line dig (knock on wood)! That was the first time since January I did not have one. Also the line was spooled tight when I reeled it in each time. Thanks again for all of the help...I really hope this solves the problem long term!

Thank you both! I will go buy some 30 pound braid tomorrow! Then owners manual says 15 pound braid can be used...but apparently it can cause problems. Again thank you!

Hi, This might have been posted before, but I was not able to find anything on it..so please forgive me if it has. Anyway...I have had my Curado DC for about 6 months...really like it other than the fact that when I cast (on occasion), my 15 pound braid somehow gets a Birdsnest in it mid cast and will only cast out for a few feet before it stops because of the birdsnests. It's frustrating. Happens in all conditions (no wind, wind, etc.). I use for the most part weightless flukes and use the 2nd setting on it. I have re-spooled it a couple of times to see if that works...even took off about 20 yards of line to see if that would help too. I have noticed when I reel in, my braid is never spooled tight...is this normal? Don't know if this causing the problem. I have read about some Curados being defective...just don't know if this something I'm doing or if it could be defective. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
