Default Superlines snapping

Well, Steve...since I fished with you . You know that I have that Powerful
Snap that could break down tall buildings .... whoops.... that's another
story......

I actually love the various forms of superlines that I have tried in the
past.

My biggest complaint with mono is the high number of twists that I get the
line. I do baitcasting almost 100% of the time. It's a Texas thing!

I use swivels, even good swivels, but I cast and cast and cast..and mono,
sooner or later, builds up a twist in one part of the line. From then on, it
is backlash after backlash. I use the best equipment ( Chronarch reels);
I've been doing this for over 55 years; and I don't get any backlashes for
an hour or two with new lines. If I stretch the mono out behind the boat
for a while, I don't get any backlashes for a long while.

However, once I get one...then the rest of the day is fraught with problems.
I love Superlines and hope I can make this one work for me.

Thanks for your input.
