To answer you Chub, I had very very few tangles while fishing mono. I finished the day yesterday with my girlfriend's rod that was in the trunk after mine ran out of line and never had a tangle.

So something just occured to me...is braided line a bad idea on a spinning reel???
no....itsa good idea
but a couple thing make it tough to deal with
1 over filling the spool
2 rip retrieving can cause problems
3 filling small spools with heavy line can cause peeling too which ends in a fook up.

if you see a stray loop on your spool dont try cast it out...it will peel and cause a birdsnest most times.....hand pulll the line till the loop is out.
