Clinging of braid

[ING]

Recently I've decided to respool my Spinfisher 750ss and while I taking PP braid off the spool, I’ve found that line doesn’t going easy and smooth. It’s looks like it clinging periodically. Like winding doesn’t want to release the line. Is somebody watch the same behavior of braid? Thanks

Depending on the amount of resistance it may be just residue from leftover saltwater. Whenever I cast my braided reels initially there is clinging and resistance until I am able to rewet the line. Rinsing the spool/reel under freshwater after each use helps.

Thank you! I always rinse the reel after fishing. So, I've respooled already rinsed reel. I noticed that effect not a first time. May be structure of braid, which is differnt from smooth mono, creating that?

You may have have not spooled the braid on your reel tight enough. It has to be put on with a lot of resistance otherwise it will get stuck and pinched in the lose braid on the spool

While retrieving, water often doesn't create enough resistance for tight spooling but I not sure that tight winding of line could eliminate the clinging. Rather - it is backward.

What I’m saying is you might have to remove all your braid and have a shop pack it back on really tight. Your problem will be eliminated after that.

Probably I will buy PP slick.

All lines will do that if they are not rinsed after use and or not used for a while. Pull 200 yards of mono off a reel that is a year or two old and has not typically been pulled out and it will stick. Braid is just worse about it because of the nature of the line. Being a woven material it can absorb water. When the water evaporates all the minerals including salt are left behind, basically forming a soft glue holding the line together. While rinsing helps it will not cure the problem. They do sell braid cleaner which, helps but is not a cure. Just one of several reasons all lines need to be replaced periodically.

Packing it tight will eliminate it digging into itself. It will not eliminate line sticking to itself from salt left behind after use.

For the older reels made to use mono original fireline is popular.

Thank you, Makariaa. It is what I've found. Braid has structure different from mono and sticking of coils is stronger. Therefore I am rinsing reels (and rods) after fishing even after fishing in the fresh water. May be internal coils doesn't rinsing enough.
