bait clip trouble

[magoo]

just been out fishing-used multiplier for first time.noticed that the hook didnt always seperate from bait clip,never had this when using fixed spool reel.when i cast i was stopping the reel when the lead hit the water to avoid birdsnest.am i slowing up too soon?

cant think why not , the reel surely shouldnt make any difference

Always set a stop knot 1cm above the clip so that it can slide during the cast and impact.

I never stop the impact, but dab down on the reel a 1/2 second later to allow 'unclipping' or auto-ejection by an impact shield.

Move over to cascade clips and impact shields if the problem re-occurs!

This match rig shows you what I mean .... (I hope)

will give that a go,cheers!
