Braid Question

[PeteyHD]

It probably was the piece you were fishing that might have had some higher structure. Doesn’t hurt to reverse your line if you think it’s old but it’s a little bit of a pain since you have to spool it twice unless you put it on another reel.

Could be structure, kinks, or spool/frame pinch . I fish a 25' top shot of mono on my bottom reels. It makes tangles a lot easier to handle and gives a little stretch to the line. If you fish level wind reels check the line guide insert on the reel. You can use unwaxed dental floss to check for cracked inserts/rough guides.
