Tie a swivel above your slab, I usually tie one in line about 18 inches above the slab.
Check out the fishing reports from Cedar Creek, Dennis Christian is the mepps guru.

I tie directly to my line, and I have no issues. You sure you're not trolling with it, cause that could be a situation.
All you are doing is raising it up and down I don't know how it could twist that bad. I use braid, maybe that's the difference.
I guess do what gene said use a swivel. See if that helps.

Just FYI I was at Wally world and they had mepps with hair and feathers on them, but all u have to do is cut them off. Dennis uses mepps with nothing but spinner blade and hook!

Are you using a spinning reel? They are alot more prone to line twist. I use a swivle on mine. I picked up my mepps at Academy.
