I will see if i can find the link on you tube and add to here(its good)...........if you dont have those guides and you dont want to cough on an expensive rod.......make sure the leader is supple........varivas or prosele (both available from yeeha)...........if you want to go budget black magic supple trace but varivas is very good for the price and 130 pound is about the normal thickness of 100 pound line.........100 pound varivas should be minimum and up to 170 ish.....make sure your knot is neat.............Dont use flouro...too stiff.....supple mono is the go..I use a 1 inch PR knot(approx)for casting....a lot of people use the FG knot(most popular) but both work.

with 50 pound braid.....100 pound varivas would be good.

here is a pic of the varivas but as ginga said ....he reckoned what you are using is good and he would know.....he runs a charter............I would check your knot.....make sure its tidy and run the shorter leader for now and see how you go..but even so....wind knots seem to be one of those things i am afraid........it just hurts when you lose a lure worth more than your rod! ...i saw a guy lose a carpenter and another french lure in one afternoon to wind knots( expensive lures).......Both Aaron and Boulder present at the time......Good luck

The longer leader potentially saved me just the other day when a fish nailed a lure in 3m of water and took off sideways with a big rock between me and it - the leader was nearly on the rock for a while before I could scramble across to follow the fish. Got my lure back and landed the fish as well...

The only time I've ever had major issues with wind knots was with one particular lure, which gave me all sorts of grief and hours of unpicking braid nests before the lure finally busted off and flew 100 m, finding its freedom and giving me mine from those bloody wind knots. Never understood why this one lure gave me such problems - I've got others from the same family which never give me any issue.
