as for tangles when casting try slowing your cast down and watch your cast from forward cast to back. watch what the line does infront and also behind you.

Assuming if you are using a Rapala knot you would do the same and just make sure it's tight to the loop.
And you're right I don't watch my back cast enough and am probably in too much of a hurry to get the line out there.
Also find some times I put too much gusto in the forward cast cause the line shoots and smashes at the end so it bounces back / sideways a little.
