Found this tip, dunno if it works on braid but it seems to work ok on mono... should work on large overheads too..

Interesting, I use a small pair of tweezers.

that is one I mastered when practicing on my bait caster - how to untangle a nest on a mono. Haven't tried it on braid that is why I posted a topic about what line is better on bait casters.

I wonder if you apply the same theory on overheads. Eg. Abu garcia 7000

i use a plastic fork...just like eating spaghetti :dinner: .i have tried this method but my backlashes are preaty severe and not just your average little over run.my take is an over run is caused by not stopping the spool after the lead or lure hits the water.a backlash on the other hand is when the spool is rotating faster than the line comming off the reel and tangles mid cast.usually causing a crack off (loss of terminal tackle).the use of magnetic brake systems all but eliminate this problem :thumbsup:
