Power Pro Line Casting Tips for Tangle Free Casting

After I make a cast, I ALWAYS close my bail by hand just before the rig lands in the water. This does two things. It keeps the running line from tangling around the top of the cork and the line should become tight both on the spool and to your rig. Also, I make sure there are no loops on the spool of the reel before and after I cast. If there is a loop buried under the spool of line, never cast it, instead pull the line by hand preferably upwind from your drift [and not under the boat and around the motor] until the loop is out. In order to stay tangle free, I only fill my reels three quarters to the rim of the spool. The last tip when deploying braids is NO side arm cast. This action will result in birds nest the fastest. Last but not least is to not cast the rod as hard as you possibly can. An 85-90% power cast is just as effective if properly launched over the shoulder with the tip of the rod on the same plain through the cast. Try following these tips for tangle free days and keep your tip up!
