Braided line snarling help needed

[justplugit]

I had the same problems with fireline and penns on both 8ft lamis and st croixs.The way it was explained to me, the penn spool throws to small a lop and therefore the knot. switced to a large spool Daiwa Capricorn and haven't had a problem since. Never had a problem with the 7ft st croix and the sustain. Go figure. The size and spacing of the guides may very well be part of the problem.

This happens ocasionally,make sure there is not too much line on the spool and don't try to throw it to hard,nice smooth but firm cast are key.It happens to me sometimes if i ty to put a little extra into the cast.g/l

yesirree karl. that fireline seems to be the best of the lot. I tried the PP and it was a hassle switched on the advice of someone from here and have never had a problem since.

i like the fireline for sure

Try 50# power pro. 30# seams to be too thin for surfcasting, thus all the knots. That, along with all the advise above, should help you out. Switching to a more brain friendly reel, the penn ss are notorious for being bad with braid, would help also if you have the means.
