Default Winding down. . .

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?

TIA,
