Dealing with line wraps on surf rod guides during power casting – any tips?
​
Hey guys,
I’ve been running into a frustrating issue lately with my surf fishing setup. During my power casts/distance casting, the mainline keeps wrapping around the guides (especially near the tip), causing major wind knots or snapping my shock leader.
I’m using a high-end setup with Torzite guides, but this issue is holding me back from pushing my distance.
Is this usually a technique issue (like a sloppy release or tracking during the swing), or is it more about the guide layout/size? Any advice on how to prevent line wraps during heavy loads would be greatly appreciated!
