    Dumb question but.... Does it make it harder for wind knots if the line is heavier, ie, 20 lb compared to 30 lb?

    I have not fished the rocky areas much with the 20. So far its been great, have not seen any line breakdown yet. Held up better than a few other braids that I have used (Power Pro Slick, Samurai)
    I am sure the heavier the braid the longer it will hold up with its breaking rating.

    Using this Sufix 832 20 lb I have not had any more knots than the 30 lb braid.
    If anything less.
    Lighter plugs into wind sometimes invite a wind knot.
    I have heard people go to 50 lb braid to not get wind knots. The casting distance loss is huge going to 50 lb and I don't know how much it helps.

    It has been proven and written up in many magazines if braid is put on reel properly (tight and not over filled) 99% of wind knots are human error. #1 reason not closing bail by hand. #2 not enough tension on line reeling in( light lures not designed for big tackle). #3 leaning into a cast with a heavy lure after fishing a light lure.#4 Cheap or no swivel after reeling against a drag when fighting a fish, more common with mono. Wind knots have nothing to do with wind proven fact. Most people that suffer from so called wind knots repeatedly do not know how to fish braid.

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again
