Default Power Pro on a spinning outfit??



I am finesse fishing around lots of structure in low-vis water with 4"
Fluttercraft worms.
The best setup so far that I have found is a med-med/hvy spinning rod
6.5-7feet.
15 pound Power Pro (4lb dia.) with a direct tied (uni-uni) 5 foot leader
of 10-12lb fluorocarbon.
I then use a tungsten 1/8oz bullet and small bead with a #1 Owner
'rig-n-hook'.
Sometimes I will peg the weight and bead up 18" but most times I peg the
weight only about 3" up.
Sometimes I d-shot these worms with a baitcaster and 12 pound line.

Anyway...back to my original question.
I don't have a lot of experience with braid on spinning. It gets knots
up the line just "out of the blue".
I am assuming these are line twists that knot up.
Would letting line out behind the boat and re-reeling it back on help
untwist it?
It seems "dry" when using it. Should I wet it first or is there a line
conditioner that helps?

Thanks in advance!
