My buddy told me he read to remove line twist on your spool run hot tap water over it. I tried it for a few seconds and didn’t see a difference maybe it’s needs a bit more time. Have any of you tried this and had success ?
My uncles 2nd wife left him when he put the same topic on ice shanty twicePraying for you
Tie the line to a sturdy object (door, table, wife etc) walk out some line and pull tight. Don’t pull hard enough to break the line but just enough to get the line to stretch. This will remove the memory. You could also tighten the drag and pull the line out by hand. The drag resistance is enough to straighten the line out.I do this with all my bass rods with florocarbon the night before I go fishing. It makes the florocarbon fish like new. It’s not ideal, but it extends the life of the line.
Good techniques for removing line coil/memory, but not line twist... Easier to remove line twist in open water; drag behind a boat with nothing on it, let a bunch of line out in a stream and let the current untwist it. Out on the ice, I have let the wind carry my line out (nothing on it) and reeled it back in with the line in the air, allowing it to untwist as you pinch it going back on the spool. Best to not get the line twisted in the first place. Reeling against the drag is the all-time line twister, with fishing spinners a close second...
