Jum Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I just picked up this new reel and new line... and i have been losing alot of spinner baits for some reason... i thought this line was supposed to be fail proof. Any help? Justin Quote
Super User Dan: Posted May 23, 2009 Super User Posted May 23, 2009 what do you mean by "losing a lot of spinnerbaits"? Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 You haven't heard, PowerPro dislikes being on Shimano reels, LOL! J/K, what knot are you using on the spinners? Or is it breaking somewhere else? Quote
Jum Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 hahha just the basic 7 spins and putting it through the eye and pulling. Its been snapping alot from BIG fish, or when i cast it will just snap off. SOMETIMES. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted May 23, 2009 Super User Posted May 23, 2009 that knot slips on braid. use a uni knot. Quote
Crappiebasser Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I have been using 20 and 40lb PP on 2 Citicas for over a year and still haven't broken any line. I use Palomar knots and double loop the arm on the spinner bait before tightening it down. If you do this and still break line call PP and complain. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted May 23, 2009 Super User Posted May 23, 2009 The line isn't breaking. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted May 23, 2009 Super User Posted May 23, 2009 palomar and glue it with crazy glue.get rid of the outdated powerpro and get berkleys new fireline braid. Quote
Jum Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 do i still put the loop on the hook for a spinner using the palomar? Quote
mase088 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Use the palomar knot, keep the Power Pro and don't even think about picking up Fireline. Quote
