Super Slack In My Line?

[Mikell]

Ok so ive got a 7' MH Lightning Shock rod, with a Shimano Caenan 100, spooled with 15lbs Seagaur senshi line, I used a baby brush hog with 2 soft lead clamp weights, a trick worm weightless, and a zoom horny toad, when ever I cast and it sinks and I twitch it or jig it, the line seems to be so slack between my rod and my bait that between the biggest eye and the reel actually slacks down and touched the rod, basically it seems like I can never have enough tension to properly twitch a bait on the bottom. Hopefully you can see the picture of whats happening, its when the bait hits the bottom and the line goes totally slack its like SUPER SLACK, it seems to sag a lot

Sorry I meant to say the reason im posting this is because im not sure why its doin that, is my line to heavy, rod too long, bait too light? haha

Agreed, weightless trick worms and baby brush hawgs are very light. They also sink very slowly. 15lb diameter mono would further slow down the sinking of these baits, thus, creating more slack. If you are having success using these weightless, then you should switch to a sinking line, or just add more weight to your setup. 

 

Also, the slow descent of these baits gives the line a longer time to get blown around by the wind and the waters current. This information is just in addition to what was said above me.

thanks i apprciate it, i actuaully went out and bought a 7" medium CCA rod for my soft plastics, from academy, just one of their exclusive ones, ive heard decent stuff about it being cheaper and all, but its okay for me cus im jus now getting to be a novice baitcaster hahaha i also wound up having to put different line on the caenan, i went with 50lbs braid cus i had really good luck with braid on my spinning rod lol
