Hello everyone, every time I use this reel and this rod to go fishing, I invariably end up with tangles and knots when casting (almost every cast), which force me to call it a day.

What do you think the problem might be?

I’ve spooled it with a 0.29 nylon backing, and the braided line is a 0.16 PE 1 Manster W8II from SeaKnight.

When spooling, I apply the correct tension to the line as I wind it onto the reel.

Rod: Daiwa Ninja Ext 5-30g

Reel: NADIR 3000 (a rather old one given to me by a friend)

Thanks in advance for any advice!

It looks potentially overfilled to me.

Shimano TwinPower for those who may ask

First time working with 80lb braid.

Fluoro backing probably 10 yards or so.

For reference it's a 9k reel.

150m of PE# 0,8 Gosen x16

Seriously tho, may need some shims lol

...and just want that dopamine hit that comes when total strangers validate them.

I get it.
