[QUOTE="richg99, post: 391127, member: 4376"] Waxing the braid on my ultra-lite.. I have used braid on my spinning reels for many years. No spiralling twists. No hardening of lines over time. However, I recently bought an expensive spool of Power Pro super 8 slick in ten lb. strength. With the diameter of two lb. mono, it casts very well. But, in just two weeks, I started getting wind knot/tangles. I mean a LOT of them. Of course, I've had those issues before, but usually once a trip...not after every five casts. I am throwing unweighted plastic worms under branches. The fact that I have very little lure-weight to drag the line out no doubt contributed to the problem. I tried an old trick yesterday. I took a small candle, wrapped the line around it and pulled the entire spool through, waxing the line. Tried casting it this morning, and NO wind knots! This process has helped in the past and seems to have saved the day this time, too. regards, richg99 [/QUOTE]
