A little question I've had since making the switch to overhead reels. Does braided line tend to be less prone to birds nests when you're a bit slow on the thumb brakes? I've got mono on all my reels at the moment and as Im only new to overheads I am probably birds nesting 1 in 10 casts when chuckin a lure around.(which is a bit embarrasing and very anoying)

The braid will still birds nest. I use a heavier line, bigger diameter than an eggbeater on them and have few problems I did not create.

Good thing about braid is that it's often easier to unpick especially if it's a heavier diameter. Downside is that when its a real nasty birdsnest it can get pretty expensive on braid.
