<p>Ken/Slip's #1 rule was one I broke most recently and had me head scratching as to how I suddenly was getting rookie snarls again. The flouro is off that reel. Gonna break in some SpiderWire on that reel this weekend. </p>

<p>Everyone has given great tips and they all work. I always close my bails manually and make sure the line is under the roller. I have used spinning reels for years and some mighty nice ones at that. They will all twist your line at some point. One major reason it twists is when you reel against the drag. If a fish is making his run don' t reel why he is pulling drag. That will twist your line every time. Let him run or back reel. I learned a cool trick a few years ago from a bass fisherman on…</p>

If a fish is making his run don' t reel why he is pulling drag. That will twist your line every time. Let him run or back reel. I learned a cool trick a few years ago from a bass fisherman on how to get those bird nests out every time. When you get a snarl on the spool after a cast, DO NOT pull it out immediately by hand. Simply loosen the drag quite a bit and then pull it out by hand. It will come out every time. Just make sure you tighten your drag back down after you get the snarl out or your next fish will be a quick release. Don' t ask me how I learned that lesson. Hope this helps.</p> a spinning reel;; by its own…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2015-02-03:2036984:Comment:5821432015-02-03T03:55:29.625Zcarl hendrixhttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/carlhendrix
<p>a spinning reel;; by its own design;; will cause line twist. no getting out of it;; eventually no matter what type of line; or anything;; it will at some point;; start the twist. some things to help keep it from twisting;; keep a tight as you can retrieve;; spray a reel oil onto the line;; use new line; often as possible;; and at the end of each fishing trip;; stretch your line out completely;; in the water if possible;; re-wind it. that way your ready for the next trip out</p>

<p>just my opinion...</p>
<ol>
<li>flourocarbon should never be spooled on a spinning reel... in line reels and baitcasters only</li>
<li>line diameter is more important than any thing else when it comes to visibility... here braid wins hands down</li>

<p>The nanofil I get undone almost every time. I sometimes have a loop sticking out form not keeping line tight enough on previous retrieve and the loop gets slightly twisted with outgoing line and its like I am casting three lines at once. I have to figure out which is the true main line and pull it until it reaches the base of the loop and then reel it all back on. It mostly just costs me time when it happens and can be frustrating. </p>

<p>If you are careful not to pull it tight, dyneema (braid and nanofil) just about always can be untangled IME (and I have more experience with that than I would wish). I will have to try the WD-40 trick. Mono and flouro both get me every now and then right when I am sure a loop is about to pull through and untangle and then suddenly it kinks and you're done...</p>
