i probably dont spool it on tight enough i guess.. I try to put my spool helper thing as tight as i can, but like you said it tightens up eventually.. I hate how when you just caught a fish then you recast it out and the line dug into itself and your bait frikin pops back right at you! Happens too often... But i use the same thing for trout and the same thing for my flippin rod for bass. But for my light lures like flukes, worms, crankbaits etc. I use that spiderwire invisibraid. Go check it out. I think it cast better too
