Never noticed any kind of line twist, possible just not observant enough. I have however started using these . No appreciable reduction in bites, added advantage of a swivel & extra protection for the trace (I found chomp marks on them more than once) |

x2 I used to use Genie clips (but didn't like them) because too lazy to keep retying Lefty's Loops - now use these and mighty impressed. Have never had the same line twist or memory issues I used to have with mono by using braid. What braid are you using. I still use Fireline on my spinning reels - I prefer the "stiffer" nature of the fused braids on my spinning reels and would never ever use on my baitcaster. Similarly use Sufix 832 on my baicasters and would never use on my spinning reels ... |
