Hey thanx guys for all the good info.
I usually only change my line once a year, but, I strip off a little before each trip to insure that I have removed the "used up" portion that might have nicks in it.
I generally have taken off some after having line put on by a tackle shop - as you said TD, they seem to always overspool the reel(even worse than I do when I do it myself). Having a tackle shop do it takes a trip to the store - sometimes I don't have the time before a fishing outing.
I've used the walk the line out in the park a hundred yards or so then reel it back in method. And, I've trolled my line to untwist it, but that is not feasible during the winter or if I am fishing without my boat.
Another thing I have tried, without much success, was to fashion a holder for my spinning spool and put it on a drill. But that never loaded the line on very evenly.
I think my next attempt will be to use the warm water treatment as mentioned and see how that goes.
