Sniper on my spinning rod -- what am I doing wrong?
I absolutely hate fluoro because of problems like this. For years I used braid.I have found a mono that I feel is low stretch and just as sensitive as flouro without the issues.its called sufix super 21. I've only seen it at dicks sporting goods. Give it a try.eithervthat or braid with a leader.

Feel like I missed the spawn
Here in southern NY the bass are done spawning and bluegills are on the beds.larger reservoirs are probably not done here.

What Is The Best Braid?
i've used a boatload of different braids since the early 1990s and the best ones i've found are Berkley trilene professional grade, suffix 832 and powerpro super slick 8.sufix 832 gets it on abrasion resistance but berkley professional grade is quieter imho. you would do well with any of these.

My Braid Is Noisy
8 carrier braids are less noisey.pps8, suffix 832 and Berkley professional grade braid are some good choices.

What Size Braided Line?
thicker line prevents digging in on a baitcaster you should go by the line diameter not the strength. 50 is 12 diameter which is generally the minimum on a Baitcaster
-
80Lb Power Pro Slick 8 Line
the thicker the braid the less digging in you get when horsing fish and weeds out of the water. this is why people use heavy braid.

What Size Braided Line?
spinning reel or baitcast? spinning u can go with 10 or 20. baitcast I would never go less than 50.

Which Reel Between These Two?
I'M A PFLUEGER FAN but I would go for the extreme.the reason is I will never again buy a reel with a graphite frame.i've had the necks twist and break from a hard pulling bass in the weeds.either that or get a pflueger with an all metal frame.
-
What Is Wrong With My Reel?
I would not use big game on a spinning reel.get trilene xl or suffix elite or Cajun red cast.make sure you spool it on so it's not coiling up going on.that usually means label up on the spool.do not spool to much on.leave an 1/8 inch of spool lip showing.also make sure you flip your bailshut manually and get all the slack out before you do.if you don't it will mess up.

Difference Between Baitcaster And Spinning Reel???

Fishing Rod - Bass Fishing From Shore / Small Boat.
for shore fishing a shorter rod is better unless you are fishing from a treeless shoreline. for boat fishing a longer rod is nice.medium to a light medium heavy is best for most spinning apps.i suggest a falcon bucoo or falcon cara.
