One other point regarding the above, a sharp "tug" will remove coiling
from line that has not had its shape ( New line for instance) for very
long. But is also shock loads the line, and is not a good idea in fine
tippet. Fine nylon will be compromised by this.

Most especially if you do this with fluorocarbon tippet for instance,
it causes stress faults at the point where you held the line while
tugging it, actually increasing the memory at these points, and on
coated lines it can compromise the coating, which in turn compromises
the knot strength.

The main advantages of heating the line in water, is that no shock
loading takes place, it is not stretched, and no particular point on
the line is subjected to specific thermal or other stress.

Something else here as well. The main reason for excessive coiling on
spooled nylon is because it was stretched while spooling. The nylon
tries to return to its original no non-stretched state, and the
resulting compression on the spool can easily crush or deform it. This
was once a severe problem on multiplying and other reels used for
long casting heavy leads. The secondary result is that such nylon
takes on extreme coiling. This can be so bad that is more or less
impossible to cast with it.

There is no point in heating nylon on a spool!!!! This will have the
reverse effect, and program the coiling!

It only works when the nylon is heated, and allowed to cool in its
normal unstretched state while being held straight. Very light tension
may be used, but any strong stretching should be avoided.

I´m sorry, but I don´t know why it should be disadvantageous to touch
the nylon with the fingers while spooling up. I imagine this has to do
with friction burns, but I don´t know. Tackle shops all use a metal or
ceramic ring for guiding nylon on to spools when using high speed
spoolers.

Ordinarily, when winding line on to a reel, using your fingers to
spread the line evenly is the only option, ( except on reels equipped
with level winds, or oscillating systems), and I have never noticed
any detrimental effects as a result.

That's the one. Laugh In was one of just a few popular programs that
made it overseas to military stations. We got hooked on it in 68, 69,
and when I was stationed in Panama in the 70s, we were pleased to find
it on Armed Forces Network. Some funny stuff. Arte as the dirty old
man with Ruth Buzi (sp) was priceless.

Ruth Buzzi, one of my favorite comedians.
She also used to make appearances on the Dean Martin celebrity roasts.
One time she walked on and said; "I'm a woman of a thousand faces!"
Dean replies; "Then why are you wearing that one?"
Buzzi beats Dean with her purse.
