I bought a spinning reel after using spincasters my whole life and I feel like everyone is playing a prank on me by saying how great they are. If I even look at it wrong all the line pops off and manages to get tangled around. It came with the line already on so anytime it loses tension it just goes sproing in little tangled circles. Would putting fresh line on it help?

Whoever suggested putting braided line on my spinning reel, thank you. I got to practice using it on the water today and it’s amazing how much easier it is to use when the line isn’t flying off into ringlets just from touching it. Didn’t catch anything because it was hot as gently caress and I forgot a hat but it was nice to be able to enjoy using the new rod instead of dreading it.
