Default line twist

Line twist can be a problem trolling spinners.

To remove the twist, lay out the working end of your line and reel it back
on while punching it with a soft rubber scrap. (like bicicle tube rubber)
This will remove the twist.

To prevent the twist when trolling spinners, use a keel type sinker ahead
of your swivels, or switch to "safety-pin" type spinners.
