[QUOTE="Majorpede, post: 221145, member: 2222"] I use the same BPS line on my spinning reels without issue. All my problems with wind knots stopped when I started spooling my line on in the same direction that the reel is spinning. If your reel is turning to the right, you need to be sure your line is coming off the spool to the right. Done any other way will result in line twist, and wind knots. Also using topwater baits like the zara puppy with a walk the dog action will allow for loose line on the spool, and will cause wind knots. Last but not least. Consider your reel choice. (I know nothing about your reel) But I purchased a very cheep Dawia with a wide spool on it to see if I would actually like the wide spool before I purchased a Nicer one. For the love of god no matter what I did I could not make 10 good cast without getting a wind knot. I tried 3 different rods, 4 different lines in different ib test, and nothing work. I came to the conclusion it was the reel, and never used it again. Maybe I will try braid on it sense its working out for you. [/QUOTE]
