[QUOTE="luvcatchingbass, post: 267455, member: 1979"] A little larger diameter line tends to come off the spool easier or at least in my opinion it does. The lightest line I have on any of mine is 25-30# braid, I would think something in the 17# mono would work too (I did 17# Flouro when I started and made a mess). Also a trick I use is run off about 100-150ft of line and put a piece of electrical tape on the spool then rewind the line back on, this way when you loose control and start bird nesting the tape stops it from digging deeper. For the OP-what about knot choice? I use Palomer Knots with all my braid. I also agree with a couple of the potential ideas of Aaron and Short to check out. [/QUOTE]
