  4. Appropriate line for a Baitcaster

    I am using a baitcaster for the first time this year. I have a Daiwa Procaster® 6+1 Series/Bionic Blade XPS Combos Baitcast Rod/Reel. 7' Medium Action rod, 8-17 lb Line test. 1/4 - 5/8 Oz lures. Reel gear ratio 6.3:1. Line retrieve 28 inches. My baitcaster seems to start casting terrible halfway through my fishing trip last week. The weight lures I was using on it didn't change as I stuck to heavy lures to avoid birdsnests. Am I using the wrong line? I used 14 pound Berkley Trilene XL Monofilament Fishing Line? Note the line was brand new. Is this the wrong line type for a baitcaster?
