As far as the rod goes...it's DEFINATELY soft. There's times I think it's going to snap when casting. I was going to be in the market for a new rod soon anyways. Maybe it's going to be sooner than later.

when yourturning your handle...is there a slop in the handle if you reverse direction? good reels have No slop.....stop is stop.
the slop or lack of anti reverse and a rod that flops around like a wet noodle is causing those loops in your spool.
Even hard to engage reels cause a wind loop on a spool.....you see a guy having to put extra ommmmffff into getting his reel to engage....normally he will back off the handle and take a good run at getting the reel engaged....theres a garanteed loop....combine that with a floppy rod making river dance moves...and now you have a big spool loop or multiply loops.
cast and its a birdsnest
