IMPROVE CINCH KNOT. IS WHAT I TIE BRAID TOO MY SWIVEL.

AQUA SKIN MAKES A FINGER SHIELD. ITS FOR CASTING WITH BRAID. SO YOU WONT CUT YOUR FINGER APART. IT WORKS I HAVE A FEW. I HAVE WORN OUT 2 IN TWO YEARS.

ONE THING I ALWAYS DO IS WET THE BRAID. IT HELPS CUT DOWN ON WIND KNOTS. WHEN POPPING YOU NEED TOO HOLD THE BRAID ABOVE THE REEL. WHEN REELING AND POPPING SO IT GOES ON TIGHT. IF YOU DONT IT WILL FLARE UP ON THE NEXT CAST AND YOU MIGHT END UP WITH A WINDKNOT. ALWAYS FLIP THE BAIL BY HAND. DONT CRANK THE REEL. ALWAYS PULL THE LINE TOO MAKE SURE IT LAYS DOWN BE FOR REELING THIS HELPS PREVENT LOOPS ON THE REEL.

WHEN YOU FIRST START WITH BRAID YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS. JUST HAVE TOO REMBER TOO GO EASY. IT COMES IN TIME.

ALSO WIND KNOTS ARE A PILE OF LOOPS. SO DONT PULL HARD THEN IT WILL BE A KNOT. JUST TRY TOO FINE THE LOOP THAT IS LAYING OVER ONE LOOP AT A TIME THEN LOOK FOR THE NEXT ONE . IT CAN TAKE A FEW MINUTES TOO FIND THE RIGHT LOOP. WHEN YOU HAVE IT IT WILL COME OUT. YOU DONT WANT TOO CUT THE BRAID. IF YOU START CUTTINGH IT WILL ADD UP IN THE MONEY SIDE . THAT SUCKS. I CAN ONLY PLUG WITH BRAID. I HAVE BRAID THAT IS 2 AND 3 YEARS OLD AND IS FINE TOO FISH WITH. REVERSE IT FROM TIME TOO TIME. WHEN YOU SEE WEAR CUT IT OUT AND RETIE.

GOOD LUCK.

USE A FINGER GUARD OR TAPE YOU WONT CUT YOURSELF. WHEN I STARTED USING BRAID I GO ALOT OF WIND KNOTS SO WHEN I REEL IN MY TOP HAND I PUT MY POINTER FINGER OUT AND LET THE LINE HIT MY FINGER MAKING THE LINE TIGHTER ON THE SPOOL I DONT GET MANY WIND KNOTS THIS WAY .
