Spinning Reel with Fluoro , Bad Line Twist - 10/04/18 02:39 PM
I have an Abu Revo SX Spinning reel that I use for drop shot, it has 12# fluoro on it right now. I was locked on a point the other day and making cast's about 20 yards out and doing real slow retrieval . After the 10th cast or so, the line twist was so bad, it knotted itself up and I had to cut a good portion of line off the spool and re tie.
Is this just the nature of the beast with this kind of setup, or is my casting the drop shot away from the boat causing it as opposed to just dropping the bait straight down beside the boat?
If it helps, I do have the drop shot hooks with the built in swivels to help prevent some of the line twist.
If you have any tips or tricks to help avoid what happened to me the other day, I would love to hear any feedback.
Thanks in advance,
Austin
