As is my normal custom, this is when I take the lines off my reels, clean
them one last time, and store them away. This year, the first line I took
off was one I used the most - an Orvis Wonderline WF3F, factory spooled onto
an Orvis CFO I reel. The first and last twenty feet or so were okay, but the
middle stuff was a freakin' nightmare - it was coiled like a watch spring.
Any ideas what would cause this? And what is the best way to relax the coils
so the line is ready for the coming season?

Could have been wound too tight. Try putting the line in some warm water and/or
stretching it out like you would a coiled leader.

Pulling the line fairly tightly through a dry duster will take out the
twists maybe only temporarily though - Give it a try.
