I'm not quite understanding the electrical tape trick...Power Pro is my #1 line though and like you said..I've learned how to cast it ..my problem is that I use a very light rubber worm set up..
Today...bass are still not on the beds like they should be..[&o]gettin old.
The only electrical tape trick I know is to use it as backing so you don't use so much line filling the spool.
I'm thinking new moon..although our shallow bodies of water are producing spawners now..I mostly fish pits ..because I can get out of the wind..and pits are very deep.
