Thanks! It worked great. I had a really bad backlash that I had brought home with me so I went out and tried this and it took a few times and now no more backlash.

I spent about 10 minutes the other day untangling my line. This should cut that down a lot. Thanks man.

WOW!!! You can teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks! I can't tell you how much time and frustration I've spent over the years picking out bird nest, most are easy but sometimes not. Sure wish I had known about this trick years ago.
 I've never been good, But I've been Lucky! I don't Lie or Exaggerate, but sometimes I remember BIG!

This works most of the time but just last weekend, I had the nest from hell that I spent 15 min. of using this method before resorting to the sissors. Its not a cure all but nice to know.

I tried this a few years ago. I didn't seem to have any luck with it. I only gave it a few tries though. I can clear em pretty quick already. I'll have to give it another try.
 like the man says...if you're swimming in the ocean and get bitten by a shark, its not a shark attack. You're in THEIR neighborhood. If you're at home in your shower, turn around and a shark is in there with you...THAT'S a shark attack

It has worked for me. I usually crank three times, pull and repeat a few times and done.
