I’ve recently decided to jump in to baitcasters. I’ve been dialing the resistance for my lures and I’ve been casting well and far. I rarely if ever have a birds nest. However…..my braid consistently gets knotted on the spool. Sometimes it will dig in to the line in the spool and it’ll have a “catch” which stops my lure midair. I’ve switched from light braid up to 30lbs in case the string diameter was the issue, but I’m still having the issues. I get about 10-15 minutes of casting and then these knots and catches start happening. I’m beside myself because I’m really loving my bait casting but I’m lost to what I’m doing wrong. I can find tutorials about the birds nest, but nothing specific about these issues. Help! Please!!!
