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?

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. It sounds like a bit of heat and
then letting the line hang may do the trick. I'll post the results back here
in a few weeks. Also, I've got an older, memory-laden Cortland line, so I'll
apply the identical solution to it for comparison. It'll be interesting to
see if the problem is the Wonderline itself.
