    BC w/mono line

    I recently switched the line on my BC from braided to mono, however I am not having problems. I find that now when I cast, the line gets loose coils on the reel. It does not backlash, however I do have to pull some line out to get the loose line out and then reel it back in tight. If I don't pull the line out, the next cast is sure to backlash. Can anyone help me out with this, what causes this to happen and is there a cure? I am tempted to put braided back on all my BC and just use mono on my spinning reels. Thanks in advance.

    Add just a touch more thumb at the end of the cast or tighten the cast control knob a hair, depending of if it flugffing at the start or the end of the cast.
