This is in regards to summer fishing line. This past year I've had a lot of bad luck with fishing line. A lot of tangles, etc. I haven't had this problem before as bad. I have tried numerous brands of mono line all with problems. Had some luck with non mono lines, but family doesn't like as much. I usually use 6-10 lb test

I have not used mono on my spinning gear for years and exclusively use Suffix 832. I've given away my Fireline and have used PP and Slick 8.
This is a link to common causes of casting knots aka wind knots that is quite informative: https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/fishing-wind-knots/

For people having trouble with tangling due to the tendency of spinning reels putting a twist in line, one technique might help... Periodically take off any lures, weights and terminal tackle from the end of your line and "troll" line behind boat at a slow speed until all of the line is out. Slowly wind the line in while boat is still in motion. If you do this every so often, you may find a reduction to the amount of tangles. Good luck on the water.
I will 2nd what R_C said about the Power Pro #10, I will never go back to mono...........I have some reels with 4+ year old line and it is as good as new other that the last 20 feet or so are faded. I do use a short mono 4# leader of about 2 feet connected with a tiny swivel. This is on summer rods. I tried a super braid on ice rods a few years ago and did not like it. It interfered with the Vex readings, not sure why, may be air bubbles in the line or? In the summer we troll or drift with long lines for panfish and the non-stretch braid is a real difference maker IMO...............
4# floro is normal ice line I use. Get it in winter spools, the summer ones are stiff in cold water.
The reel you are using has a lot to do with tangled line. The newer inline ones are a lot better than spinning reel ones. Or are you hand over hand fishing bobbers.
Colored line can help, not easy when line blends in.
