I've been fishing with an Abu Garcia Silver Max baitcasting combo for about one year and got the hang of baitcasting after a few months. I recently purchased the Kast King Spartacus Plus baitcaster and have had nothing but trouble. I can't go more than a few casts before getting birdsnests so bad that I have to re-spool my reel. I've tried braid and several different types of monofilament, but nothing seems to work. I've tried different settings with the tension knob and brake as well. I contacted Kast King several times and have received not one reply. Anyone have any suggestions?
