Mark- I think I bought it years ago from Bass Pro Shops catalog. Can't recall I 've used it for years. I cast a practice plug with no hook in the yard, attach the TwistOut to the line, snug it up to the outside of the top guide and reel in .It takes getting used to how tight to adjust the tension thumb screw but it's real easy to learn . I feel this thing is great and straighten my line out after spooling with fresh line as well if the spool memory is apparent .

I use mono exclusively but after each fishing trip I have curls that I take out with a device called a 'twist out'<br />

It depens on how you want to fish. If you fish with a bobber then you can get by with about any type of rod as long as it can handle fairly light line. I drift fish often with jigs or live bait. That requires a rod with much better feel [Sensitive]. Most ultra light rods don't provide enough feel for this. I agree with others that a medium light rod is a better choice. I use a St. Croix Avid 6'6" medium light rod for this and I can feel every weed, rock, bottom, stick, and light bites. The only…
