Brine; Sorry, I thought I listed the lb test, but as I look at the original post I see I had a typo. Its 6 lb test on a light action rod, and same line on a med-light rod. I use these two rod for throwing small stuff (obviously) mainly small crank baits (the smaller size big O and a small rebel craw)
I have done the let all the line out trick at trolling speeds, and it fixes it.... for a few hours, than its back to all twisted up.
All I can come up with is its the crankbaits twisting in the air thats causing the problem. And with the hundreds of cast made in an outing it becomes a problem.
Backpain: I have seriously contemplated giving a baitcaster a shot, unfortunately money is tight for my little family right now, as I don't have a full time job, and my wife is on maternity leave, so right now, thats not an option.
jkbirocz: I use powerpro on two of my five rods, and this might be my solution for now, to go to braid on all my gear. I don't seem to have line twist on those rods at all. But I typically use those rods for heavy baits and dragging tubes and jigs across the bottom.
My concern is how braid does with light weight cranks? And what will it do to my casting distance with little light stuff?
Also, from my understanding PP sinks, does this cause a problem with topwater baits or floating cranks (which I twitch around on top quite a bit before my retrieve)
Thanks for all the input guys!
