Underpants 1,543 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ive been experiencing what i'd consider excessive line twist on my light lure casting outfit:Symetre 1000, 5lb braid & 1-3kg spin rod. I dont have the paitence to persevere when lures dont perform so i regularly change from SPs/HBs/metal casting lures ect. Generaly lazy too and use a Decoy Round Lure Snap on everything so i can change easily whenever i feel like it. Sure im 'supposed' to tie direct to SP jigheads....but i recon when im targeting STs, tommies & squid with maybe flattie bycatch they're really not fussy. I have tried the Owner Micro Snap Swivel which worked great on the metals but was crap on everything else. So i thought long and hard.....had this huge epiphany . "Why dont i just chuck a lil' swivel on the spit ring and snap on to that?" So there it is a 5g Halco Twisty with a #4 Gamakatsu Single Lure hook, swivel to the Decoy Round Lure Snap! Havnt trialed it yet but Thursday is looking pretty sweet for a 'flats flick' So what are other folks using to mange line twists? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
projoe 261 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 sure braid twists but in my experience has never given me any problems with any brand (i've used a few now) & without swivels. if you have had the line roller on the reel out to service make sure you have reassembled it the correct way round.

MiSCrEANT 53 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I do things to prevent it. Like: -Spooling up correctly (or use of a specific tool) -Not winding line in when a fish runs -Not winding line in when you are snagged -Using a ball bearing swivel -Maintaining line rollers -Not using a lure that spins in the air while casting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
