reduce line twist
#1
Line twist sometimes happens on revolving spools with fishermen who fish chunks of bait in chumslicks, the bait spins in the current causing the line to twist. It can also occur when you don't use enough swivels on a trolling bait that spins. However the biggest victims of line twist are spinfishermen.<br>When you turn the handle on a spinning reel, the bail recovers line. however if the line is snagged or your catch is too heavy, no line is recovered. Your bail continues to spin and this causes this line to twist.<br>One way to avoid this is to let your rod do the work. Use the rod to pump up your catch or retrieve slack, then reel up the slack on the downward motion of your rod. Simple,pump then reel. If your line does twist, remove all terminal tackle and let your line out behind your boat, allow the line to untwist it self. in extreme cases replace the line.<br><br>
