Sound of windknots when casting

(1/3) > >>

CliffKhoo:
As topic, it happens when I cast a popper or swimbait out wit h my TBL 83/32. There will be a loud sound as if my lines were tangled with the guides. But in actual fact, no lines were tangled. Any of you guys encountered  that before? Anyway im using 65lbs jerry brown with 130 fisherman shock leader.

David Noble:
Does the rod have K guides? As they are noisier.

Cheers Dave

Mark Harris:
K-Guides are way noisier. It is most annoying!

not sure this rod has K-Guides though?

Cliff is this rod making an especially loud noise compared to others?  With a strongly loaded popper cast, there is always some noise.

Jon Li:


Too long a knot , I suspect . Those who are using bobbin when making PR knot have the misguided idea that the longer the knot , the better it is . Long knot hitting the guide not only reduce casting distance , it also cause the rod to slowly loosen from the butt joint and eventually the rod flies off from the handle .

Jon .

CliffKhoo:
Thank you everyone for the response. Yes it happens when a hard cast was made. Regarding the pr knot. Im using about 3 cm . Is it too long? The sound is very loud. But im still getting the same distance with other rods.
Anyway what causes K guides to be noiser? Is it normal?
