Do you guys reel in the excess of line after casting ? I always feel like I am also moving the bait when I do it

Update

If anyone encounters the same problem as I did, I completely solved it by buying the fine splicing needle from Korda (orange one).

Turns out it is REALLY fine and will just work without problems

The job was impossible with what I had (and I tried 3-4 different ones)

Thank you for the explanation, however, should I do the same thing for boilie? I want pop-up to like... pop up and boilie to sink into the bait (groundbait or PVA content)...

I see everyone doing it but I can't find any explanation, it for sure won't fly out of water without the weight, right?

I will try it after work, does it work for Braid to Braid ?

Unfortunately it seems like it can only be spliced by the Korda Needle or ultra fine needles. I found another needle in my room and this one was going way better but it still isn't as fine as the Korda one so I'll just wait
Thanks

All these knots imply using the splicing needle which is really impossible to use, it won't go up on the line at all it will just exit the other way or something like that. I have also seen a post where a guy said that Korda splicing needles are needed for the Durakord, that might be the problem... I ordered them and I will tell you

Thanks anyways

As the title says, I am very confused why I am not able to splice the leader using a normal splicing needle.

When I try to go upwards it just gets out, I tried it 100 times and never managed to go up not even 1 inch.

Is this Durakord thing requiring Korda special splicing needles or what am I missing?

Thanks..

Avid Out Line Camo Braided Line (0,25 30LBs) ordered. Thank you!

Thank you all for the recommendations, I am fishing with PVA bags mostly, got a carp rod and yes, I can cast wherever I want basically because I have a bait boat able to carry the hook too. I think fast sinking is perfect for PVA, isn't it ?
