SPOOLING up with fresh line is an important starting point. Monos don’t last indefinitely, especially if they have been stored in direct sunlight, so take some time to strip off last season’s line and re-spool for some peace of mind and safer fishing.
No two anglers fill their reels with fresh line in the same way, but the general rule of thumb is that new line must exit the spool in the same direction it goes on the reel. Reel it on incorrectly and you’ll suffer with horrific line twist, resulting in nightmare tangles and dramatically weakened line.
I’ve tried all the different methods of correctly spooling up and my favourite method is to make a few dozen turns of the reel handle, stop reeling, open the bale arm and allow a few coils of line to drop from the spool and fall to the ground. If the line starts to twist immediately then it has left the spool incorrectly. If it remains in nice limp coils then everything is ok and you can carry on winding.
But all monos will twist to a degree in time, especially after playing fish through a loose clutch. One simple method of removing twist from light monos is to make a long cast over grass, remove the end tackle and reel in nice and steadily under slight tension. The twist is removed as it is retrieved through the grass.
