Just as the lead hit`s the water, stop the line on the spool with your fingertip and the rig should kick away from the lead. Let the lead hit the bottom on a tight line and it should be ok with what your using.

Some hooklength materials in lower breaking strains tangle easier. Higher breaking strains/stiffer material such as fluorocarbon because of the anti-rejection properties and hooking effects. I`ve used braid in 4lb,7lb & 10lb and it`s ************e. It just unravels itself during a session, but in 15lb it`s fine. So in a nutshell - desired effect and presentation. Also, the rod and mainline cushions the fish lunges etc, but a short hooklength of lighter material will break before the mainline.
