What he said (without all caps ). If 65# braid is digging, it's not tight enough on the spool. You have to wind it on under heavy tension to start with. And if you're fishing lures that result in loose line, every so often make a few casts with a sinker or bucktail to get it tight again.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
