What kind of reel? Braid works better on reels with tapered spools. Old penns etc can have problems.

He mentioned some kind of Shakespeare model that I'm not familiar with somewhere above, Mike

I say this again, for anyone who's having problems with braid--before you write it off entirely and go back to mono, you owe it to yourself to at least try Fireline. It's stiffer and has a little more memory and thus more "spring" on the spool than the softer spun braids, especially when new. It works fine on reels like the older Penns and the Daiwa BG series that give users of other braids fits.
