Anti-tangle braid?

[Spearer1]

Can anyone recommend a 30lb braid that doesn't tangle easily during casting in wind?

I have had to cut tangles out of my current spool to the point where I am now back to the mono backing after a big cast. Are there any braids more resistant to tangles than others? I need to respool my 4500 spin reel.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi mate,

its more likly that that the braid was put on incorretly or your winding loose line onto your spool during the start of the retreve. Try fins haven't had a problem since changing to it.

Yeah, could be a loose line issue where I have taken up slack with minimal resistance. The resulting tangles are severe! I saw that Finn do a anti tangle braid. Thanks for the recommendation.

Some reels not suited for braid can also cause this problem.

Why are you wanting to "cast" with 30lb braid? Bit heavy on a 4500 sized reel as it is but your fighting so many things.

Whats you use?

Use- general purpose medium weight. bottom bashing reef, trolling, cast & retrieve, jigging. For chasing snapper, Jew, kings, dollies.

Casting from boat at structure etc.

I have a 2000 spinner for lighter applications.
