Bill:
Use fluorocarbon for leader material. I find a quality limp mono is the
best all around line for use on spinning tackle. Spinning gear does
tend to birds nest from time to time but it's usually caused by
improper line spooling such as refilling off the packaging spool
imporperly. Often guys put to much line on. Don't let that pimply faced
kid use one of those line machines they have at bait shops. You'll end
up tearing it all off.
You get what you pay for with lines so don't cheap out and buy the
limpest line you can find and remember what I said use the fluorocarbon
for leader material in snaggy stuff.
