Hey y’all, I’ve been fishing on and off for a couple years with my son but for some reason this always happens. I’ve tried to change the way I spool the line as well as how heavy I set the spool. I’ve tried lighter lines heavier line braided lines nylon line maybe I just suck at casting? Any help would be truly appreciated thank you.

I’d just use a Zebco at this point. Nothing wrong with it, I still have a couple of zebco ‘s and they catch fish too. Also, I don’t fish fresh water and I have no idea how to fish in the stream you are on. That shit is beautiful though.
I see that the line is at one spot empty and other side full with line try to place the line steadily
When you spool new line, are you “facing” the spool correctly so that it unwinds and winds in the same orientation?
What are you casting, i.e. is it something light? If it’s any sort of spinning lure, are you using a swivel?
Does this happen immediately, or do the small tangles slowly appear that are unaddressed/worsen with each cast?
You should buy one of the spooling tools to get the tension configured correctly. What # line and brand is this?
hey boss, you gotta crank the line on. tie a simple square knot as tight as you can around the empty reel, run it through the eyes of the rod, and have your kid hold the spool of line with a pencil and a cloth. Then make sure the line is properly tight and the rod is at least a third of the way bent over while reeling in your line. From there, i cant imagine you’d see a birds nest like that
That line needs to be cut off and completely re-spooled. There isn’t enough line on it. Also, it’s hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it spools heavily toward the bottom of the spool, which means you need to remove the spool and either add or remove a washer (I believe it’s remove a washer if it is spooling towards the bottom). What weight is that line? Looks like 20lb. Is it Flouro or Mono? Is it decent line, or cheap line? I put a link below that may help.
