[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5085667, member: 19427"] In my experience wind knots can be avoided. They happen due to twists in your line, not because of wind. Two major causes... one is using a lure that spins such as a spoon.... the other more common cause is someone spooling their reel incorrectly due to having the spool of line oriented the wrong way so that they are actually reeling twists into the line as they put line on the reel. One easy fix, cut your leader off your rod and pay out all of your line behind the boat while it is at idle. Once most of the line is out behind the boat, close your bail and reel the line back onto the reel. The drag created by the water will get rid of all of the twists and put the line back on the reel under proper tension. [/QUOTE]
