Rod makes a whippy and bait snaps back or not go far

[krisjack69]

The other day after my spinning reel got a wind knot so took it off then when I removed the line and tied it back on my rod vibrated and my bait snapped back. Wondering if it was because of the knot in my line catching it since a good bit of line is gone close to the knot. Would that cause it? Hopefully, nothing is wrong with my Ducket micro magic rod. Anyways thanks!

If the line on the spool is low enough that the knot becomes visible when casting...ya, pull the old line off and re-spool.

 

I use backing on all my reels, spinning included, but I like to have 70-80yds of mainline before it gets to the backing. A 210'-240' cast is a LONG cast, so I never get to the knot joining the mainline to the backing before the line gets too low on the spool and I replace it.

A lot of wind knots are caused by a poor spooling job. Not sure if I’m putting this correctly but line that comes off your bulk spool wants to be going on your reel spool the same direction the rotor lays it on spool.

 

A bait caster is generally easier to spool. Bulk spool and reel spool are easier to make the transfer of line.

I don't think that's it.  I believe it's the knot it I put it on right it's the knot in the reel I believe that's catching it. I put it in a container so to make it turn counterclockwise. It was doing fine like I said until I pulled the line off that got closer to that knot when I attached the fluoro to it. Got some Fins windknot braid to put on it since the line is so low. Should help with wind knots and so forth. Fluro just hates spinning reels lol. Thanks though! Watched multiple YouTube videos over the years on putting line on spinning reels.

Any joining knot can get caught on a guide partially or completely and either can be enough to mess up the cast. 
 

My experience with this is to make sure the joining knot is sufficiently far enough into the spool that it doesn’t come into play during the cast. For me, this joining knot is AT LEAST far enough down into the spool a distance 3 times a max cast or more. Period. This is a temporary solution in that as your now “super long leader” will eventually shorten as you cut the line for reties and such. 

This particular issue is one reason some anglers prefer a single line set up over two joined lines. 
 

Since you mention the whipping sound, I’d look into my casting mechanics and double check that I am allowing the weight of the lure to properly load the rod. Generally, you will hear that whipping sound when your rod is already moving forward and the lure did not properly load the rod. That can be disastrous with a bc reel but an angler can get away with improper casting mechanics of this nature with a spinning reel the max cast distance will also suffer.

I say whipping but it was more of a rod wobbling or vibrating like the line getting caught on the knot I bought some braid which will help. It is a pretty size knot since I used to join two lines when I spooled the reel. I usually do that to save money and spool two spinning reels.

Fluoro on a spinning reels is real tough. I gave that a shot years ago. Short lived. Trilene and Stren are great all around line but for my bass fishing I got sort of hooked on SunLine monos.

The knot is the splice knot?  The one tying two line’s together?

I fixed it. I put 15lbd Fins Windtamer braid on it and it's doing much better now.It was the knot that I tied to spool reel. It was catching it when I casted
