I'm new to spinners so far but I'm liking the new one i got. I'm shooting the Ti20 and I'm having a problem with the line twisting up really bad whenever I'm reeling in. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Drag too loose it's just twisting line not reeling up

 

[jeff81l]

I didn't think of that. I have it set fairly loose but it doesn't slip whenever I'm just reeling in the arrow and the line still twist up pretty bad

 

[kuger]

....your line is actually spinning on the drum.......take all your line off and make sure your initial knot is tight on the spool,some tape it,I throw a couple half hitches on mine personally...at what ever rate...thats likely the issue

What kind of line

 

[jeff81l]

I'm not sure. I bought the spinner used with the line already on it. I ordered some carp cable so I'm going to replace it as soon as it comes in.

...try what I told ya(may be why some body sold it to ya!)also.....Carp Cable is great but..............I had one batch spin/twist BAD as I was spooling it on,I had to use a heavy fishing swivel...seemed to cure it.I have never seen this happen before and not sure why?

 

[jeffrm20]

The line was probably put on the reel wrong. There is a cetain way to do it.

Do you guys know if there is a thread on here for how to put the line on?

How did you use the swivel?

 

[jeffrm20]

Somewhere there is, I posted a link. Ill try to find it for you

 

[kuger]

unspooled off the "factory",spool.......tied that end off to the swivel,which was tied off to the hitch on my truck....walked it out,till the line was taught and reeled it up..never ever have had to do this before...

Thanks Jeff.

Kuger, I've been thinking about doing something like that with the old line but I may try it with the new line if I need to

[wbeadlescomb]

The carp cable I had twisted up bad too. But a couple of half hitches then some medical tape work great for me

 

[kuger]

I tie off,just like Casey(Throughthagills)described...thats the way to do it

 

[BrianfromTulsa]

remove the arrow and let all the line out of your reel as you drag it behind the boat. Let the line drag for a short didstance and the resistance from the water will work out all the kinks. reel it up and soak it in silicon spray. attach the arrow and you are good to go.

redo this any time you notice twist.

some one said rem oil no one said w-d-40 so i take it dosen,t work so will any light reel oil work.

 

[fishhunter]

wd40 works silicone works all these do is make the line slick. as kuger said make sure your knot is not slipping ( i use a slip knot and double half hitches over the spool). pull your line all the way out start at reel make 2 or 3 loops around an arrow and walk to end of line getting all the loops out. do as many times as needed. reel up and spray down line tighten drag enought as to not slip when reeling. when you are fighting fish if you hear the drag DON'T REEL. after fighting a good fish shoot arrow and line out far then reel in fast this will get out twists that fighting fish and reeling put in line. This is what we do before every trip. (so daily) Just started test an RPM shoot through rod and it is working out great stopping the twists and putting less pressure on reels. Hope this helps

Same here, I unspool it and walk the twist out before going fishing usually. Grab the line tight with both hands, one hand about 18" in front of the other and push the twist to the lose end until it's out. Tie it on the spool like Kuger mentioned and it can not spin on the spool. :tu:
