Good line for spinning reels?
What is a good line for a spinning reel. I curently have 12 lb test mono on
my reel and am experiencing some major line twisting in no time at all.....Mike (PA) |

| Hey Mike (PA), Are you using a quality mono line? If you are, maybe you wound it on your
reel in the wrong direction. If you have access to a boat, let the line out
behind it as your traveling and then reel it back up. That usually gets the
twists out. If that doesn't help, go to a bait shop and have them put your
line on the reel. They will probably put it on using a grinder looking
machine. If you are not using a quality line, change the line and watch how you reel
it on the reel. Take a few cranks and watch the line. If it twists, lay the
spool over so the line comes off in the opposite direction. Good luck! Halon |

| I agree with Steve; I've owned perhaps 25 spinning reels and maybe a
half-dozen of them twisted line badly, regardless of what I did. A good line for a spinning reel has low memory and handles easily. Two lines
that I use that qualify are Trilene XL and Original Stren. Line problems are minimized when the reel spool has a large diameter
relative to the line size. If you're using 12# on, say, a 2000 size reel,
going to a 4000 might help. Just last year I discovered that a new reel was one of those that twisted
line. I wanted to continue using that reel, so I followed advice I received
and replaced 10# mono with 14# Fireline. That stuff does not twist, period,
but it is subject to the other problems of loose line and tangles, but
that's easier to control than bad twist. Good luck. |

| I landed a 36 inch Muskie during the practice for the NWC on 10 lb Power
Pro. It took a LONG time but the line held and I "Got er Done". The rod
was an old fiber glass rod I got in junior high and was restored by our own
"Rodmaker" Dave Norton. The reel was a Mitchel Copperhead.
