i cut off the leader as well and just retied.

Note: when it was recommended to me to run the line out behind the boat it was with nothing on it so is probably the best option. I've just found that running it out the back with the lure still attached still helps to remove the twists and kinks.]]> Wed, 06 Dec 2017 13:10:18 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126373&PID=1710299&title=wind-knots#1710299 <![CDATA[wind knots....... : Ju8st5 tpo clarify.

running the line behind the boat solved it. Plenty of follows from rats at Schooner yesterday and got a big kahawai but nothing of any size yet. ]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2017 12:58:42 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126373&PID=1710113&title=wind-knots#1710113 <![CDATA[wind knots....... : thanks for the info. all good...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126373&PID=1709578&title=wind-knots#1709578 Author: snapper14

thanks for the info. all good stuff!!
I will try both running the braid out the back of the boat next time we are out and reducing the amount on the spool. 
I think its just powerpro on it so will upgrade to a casting braid if those don't work.

when motoring and feed out as much line as you dare. You want NOTHING on the end of the line.

OK that would be why I have had trouble getting it to work, did not know that....

Of course the easiest way to get line twist/wind knots with a spin reel is to wind the handle while the drag is slipping.]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2017 19:05:59 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126373&PID=1709464&title=wind-knots#1709464 <![CDATA[wind knots....... : The best way I know to srt these...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126373&PID=1709463&title=wind-knots#1709463 Author: smudge

The best way I know to srt these issues is to drop some line off the back of the boat (assuming you're boat based) when motoring and feed out as much line as you dare. You want NOTHING on the end of the line. With 200m out, there will be plenty of drag to pack things down tight. That will sort things out. As has been said over filling makes things worse as does not enough tension on the line or winding the line on incorrectly

Tried that but never seemed to work well.. never took out all the twist.. or close to it.

I used to get periodic wind knots on my soft-bait set-up (using 832). Now I troll the softie behind the boat for 2-3 minutes every 30min of casting to untwist the braid. Now no problems.  ]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2017 15:08:56 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126373&PID=1709438&title=wind-knots#1709438
