What is best 6lb monofilament fishing line? I want to use it as a leader, about 7 feet connected to 20lb braid. I was using BPS Excel but recently broke two fish off on hook sets. I don't believe that they were particularly big bass or that my knots were bad. I use a 2 rap tuna knot. It's like a palomar but with 2 twist instead of 1. I didn't swing for the fence either.

I need help. I'm looking for a baitcasting reel in the 100 size that has a tight spool tolerance. I want to be able to spool 6 lb mono or similar diameter braid without it getting trapped between the spool and housing. Right now I have a Piscifun Torrent II and it's ok. I know bfs is an option but I'd rather keep things standard.

Thanks. I kind of figured that was the case.

Anyone out there have experience with converting 100 to 200 size baitcasters to BFS reels? I have 4 BPS Pro Qualifier's (200's I believe) and 2 Piscifun (100) Torrent 2 baitcaster reels. Are conversions possible with any of these?

Anyone tying snell knots regularly for bass fishing (or other types of fishing)? I've always had a problem trusting them because of the line butting up against the jagged edge of the eye of the hook. Is this actually a problem when fighting large fish?

Thank you. My spools lie flat. They neither "V" or "A". I have adjusted the appropriate amount of washers on the spool shaft. My line is about 1/8" from spool edge. I could go down to about 1/4" to see if that helps. I seem to wind knots at least once or twice in a 5 hour session. I will spend about 10 minutes picking it out. If unsuccessful I change rods. I have about 7 feet of leader, the connection knot (crazy Alberto) just above the spool. Thanks the culprit I'm sure. Thank you very much for information.

Is there anyone out there than uses braid that doesn't get wind knots on spinning gear. I love the ease of spinning gear and use it with straight mono. I have for a few years tried braid to mono leader. Although I do pretty good with it, I always get a nasty wind knot eventually. I have watched tons of YouTube videos concerning how to avoid them and have tried all those techniques. I have switched to all baitcaster and braid combo. I don't have any issues with braid and mono leader on BC. Would love opinions and advice. Maybe I just have to accept that as long as you put braid on spinning gear, you will have to deal with wind knots. Thx

I love fishing braid to mono leader on my baitcaster. I've started using that set up for almost everything, even dropshot. I go Crazy Alberto to Tuna knot to start the rig. I always give myself 6 to 7ft of leader. My question is: what's the best knot to tie after I've broken off at the hook or go to switch baits. I find palomar and Tuna Knots, take a lot of line which quickly shortens my leader length. Anyone know of a good strong knot that doesn't require an excessive amount of line to tie?

I'm looking for YouTube videos on how to improve accuracy so thought I'd find out if someone was considered the best.

What professional angler is considered to have the best casting accuracy?

Thank you very much for the information. Much appreciated.

Anyone know what size reel the BPS Pro Qualifier baitcaster is? I believe it only comes in one size. PQD10SHA. I believe the 10 indicates a 100 size but I'm not sure.

Are you selling them separately or all together? What are you asking for each one?

1/4-3/8 (7g-10g) med 7' rod.

I wanted to get away from the braid wind knots associated with spinning gear. I usually don't have any problems with baitcasters and braid. But yes I use spinning gear also. This is very helpful. Thanks
