Saltheart,
Are you speaking from your personal experience ? cause I must respectfully disagree with you . Also If all your conv are levelwind, how would you compare to how a non levelwind lays down the same line. Did you try them at some point and shun them for a reason? My fingers lay down a pretty predictable pattern for me & I predict i wont get a backlash if im in control.
And Yes, i like THIN braids,like the 50 whiplash,was my favorite,#50 Stren super is doing fine for me right now,no complaints at all. However I wont use less than a 50# braid on a conv .
(IMO) I think that manufactures have to find a compromise on the pawl worm gear ratio(line crossover rate) to allow use of both mono & braid . Much the same as Gears in a car are a compromise for MPG vs Torque. Its a compromise. If you were to make a Conv casting reel strictly for braids, I think the pawl would move much faster and thereby solve this problem entirely.
