Default waggler fishing

Does anyone have a solution to line twist on fine hooklengths when waggler
fishing? When fishing the waggler at distance and using hooklengths of 1lb
to 2.5lbs I get a lot of line twist after a while which drives me nuts.


I wouldn't dream of fishing that fine, however if you must...

The usual reason for a trotted hooklength twizzling up is an unbalanced bait
which remains on the hook on the retrieve and spins. Experiment: If you get
the effect with maggot or worm baits do you get it with breadflake in the
same swim if you strike off the bait before retrieving?

If so then try mounting your worm/maggot in different positions until the
twizzling stops.

Cheerio,
