Fireline twist

[Alex]

Just wondering if anyone have ever trolled with the fireline and had a line twist.

I had about 40 min. of trolling yestarday with the "spoon" lure at the end of about 1.5 m mono leader with the swivel. When I pulled the lure out and looked at the reel spool-fireline twists were everywere! The line is not useable any more. Could not fix it.
Does anyone know how to overcome the problem and suggestions how to troll using a fireline?

Thanks,
Alex

I've trolled hard bodies with 3-15kg fireline without hassels - perhaps linking a few ball-bearing swivels to the twisty and using stiffer leader material could do the trick?

Those spoons are notorious :mad:

troll the line out the back with nothing on it and it will untwist. andrew

You can also buy a plastic 'keel' for trolling purposes, it's supposed to stop twist. I know a couple of guys who use them for trolling Spinners and swear by them.

Cheers,
