power pro issues

[shorehunter]

Hi guys
new here but I have seen this problem when guys switch to pp.
Dont over full the reel and and like Plug race said flip the bail just
before it hits the water. When you cast look at the spool when you finsh casting. You might see a loop sticking out. when you start to reel the loop is sticking out and there is your next wind knot.
also if the spool feels like the line is loose make a long cast and tighten the line as you reel in . Like everthing else it takes time to learn. I have used pp for many years on my baitcasters but fond
fire line works better on my spinners

Welcome. Good first post. In my experience, fireline does better than powerpro on baitcasters as well, at least in saltwater.

I like PP, but not the 30#....got windknots as mentioned above. I am using 50 and 60# PP and have very few problems on spin gear.

have never used pp w/ spinning, but I'd swear by it for conventional. theres a learning curve with it, definitely, but I'd say stick with it and try different methods of casting, retrieval, and untangling til you find what works for you. even practice on a lake, where you don't have to worry about current or actually catching a fish. if all else fails, go up in test, because it'll still be smaller than mono. hope ya get the hang of it!
