Braided Line On A Baitcaster

why not... once the braid is worked in a lil it will start casting like a madman

Many of the above suggestions are good but nothing works as good as tons of practice during the night and day in a noisy setting. Remember to stop the spool the second your bait or jig hit the water.
I use to practice with a 1/8th oz. plastic thing made for practice when all we had was anchovies and squid.
We all get a back lash from time to time but nothing beats practice at a casting pond or a big back yard and it's fun to. I still do it a couple days a month to keep the thumb trained.

30# power pro helped me.

Outside of practice, the biggest help was making sure I had the stuff spooled on tight! Let a lot out, wrap it around a sock or towel and grind it back on the spool. Everything from casting to pitching jigs will be better.

Yes, the backlashes (to the core of the spool) suck ass. Bring a spool of replacement line if you aren't confident and only have one rod.

I find backlashes in braid are easier to untangle due to braid having no memory like mono has. Mono gets kinks in it which just don`t pull out.

I know I never backlash when I focus... I mean truly pay attention to the entire process. Break the cast down and do it in sections. Visualize perfect casts and just will the thing to go correct.
But I have to agree with some of the other posts... practice makes perfect!
