Solid tips right here and I shared it to my mate. We're both beginners and his braid is arriving this weekend for our next saltwater trip. Unfortunate that I haven't watched this vid before I started using braid causing me some tangles and knots. Thanks a lot for this.
So true about the knot in the shock leader causing a hesitation in the cast and contributing to wind knots. Some spinning reels are more prone to wind knots too. I had a lot of wind knots with the Penn Pursuit II 4000, and noticeably fewer with a Shimano Sedona 4000 and a Spinfisher VI 4500. Not sure why.
It doesn’t hurt to cast your line out for the purpose of tightening your line. I cast it out every 12-15 casts to keep it tight. Just work it in quickly with the pole down and the line in the water to give it resistance. Don’t be surprised to get a fish with this maneuver.

When surface lure fishing you WILL get wind knots. It's the nature of the game when using braid unfortunately. There's lots of slack and tight line using this type of fishing. The best way to avoid wind knots when using top water lures is to go back to mono line.

The best summary I have heard yet on line management with spinning reels.
Thanks Allen!
Wow what a way to end the video Tony, that was nuts lol
Stradic is such a good-looking reel
Great tips, thanks!
just WOW, monster at the end 😂👍
That tarpon blowing that lure up 10 feet from the boat was awsome!! Saltstrong baby!!
Holy smokes this is the best ending of a how-to fishing video ever!!!!
Hey Tony You are the Man!
I was enjoying the great quick casting advice and then BAM what an ending. Would have loved to see the fish!

AWESOME CATCH
If you need a spool washer, making one from plastic gallon of water/milk works! Just the right thickness 👍🏻
Very nice ending.With that catch.Great!!
😂 holy cow bro. I’m convinced that trophy fish practically jump in Tony’s kayak. Your a beast man !

Could you guys do a slow motion of a wind knot? like when the line lays over the top of the spool and then the next cast is when the wind knot happens
I hope Tony shows us his catch on the next video he makes!
That was sick. I want to see you land it. Lol
Whats the gear you're using
Tony leaving us on a cliffhanger smh lol
How he cast so far
What rod is that

Another way to reduce wind knots, is don't use braided line.😆
