I have just had sorta the opposite while soft baiting for flounders ( didnt get any ). Whilst flicking the rod to get the bait to dance the  wrap of braid  goes loose on the spool ( eggbeater )and the braid winds up being loosely wound around the spool, which is not noticed  untill the next cast and then about 10-15 wraps come off the spool at once and tangle ........major piss off . I have never had this before . Maybe the 8kg braid is just to fine for this fishing where the line is not kept constantly tight  . I was using my trout rod set up
