New line

Hi
Tried out my new Cortland 555 at Bewl on Sun. Nice line but still has the
problem that every line appears to have - kinks or sets. By this I don't
mean line twists, but set bends in the line, usually in the head or fatter
section, a wiggle like a snake, this one has an identical set to a couple of
mill ends and an Air cel I had years ago. Anyone else have this?
BTW fishing useless, had to pack up at 11.30 fishless. Son in law hit a big
brute that trundled off at slow speed and broke him.
