[#0000ff]Possibly the best fix after you have spooled up your line is to get out in a boat and let all the line off your reel behind the boat. Then hold it between your fingers as you reel it back in. That will put it on the spool under tension and take out all the twists. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can do the same thing by backing up across a big lawn in the park...with no hooks or anything on the end of the line. You can have somebody hold the end until you are ready to start reeling and then respool to take out the twists.[/#0000ff][/quote]
But he did mention that he had taken it off the spool and stretched it. Was that with the line full length and then wound up or put back on another spool and reeled up under tension?
Spin casting and underspin reels won't hold anywhere near the total line a spinning or baitcasting reel will. Several times I have had to cast, reel, look for wads, cast again, cut off 20 yards of line, and repeat until it just stopped doing it.
good luck...![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
