There is no way you made sense out of this

line twist is not the reels fault .brand,mono ,spinning or baitcaster line twist acure win the angler has not done the appropriate action method in performing line twist. look for theses problem , line to big, spolling line wrong , old line,over spolling,not useing a swivel, the bait that you use ,loose line on spool ,number 1 tip to stop line twist ,release your bear line and drag your line behind the boat until spool is bear rewined

I get PA

[WolfeMan]

Just had an off-line confab with one of these BBF geniuses and I think I understand now...tie your line to a stationary object with a SWIVEL attached and stretch out your line - the swivel allows the line to unwind as you apply pressure. Then just walk the line down and reel it back in and you're good to go.

The way Pa explained it first (leaving out the swivel) I couldn't imagine how that would untwist anything.

Pa, I get what your saying

B.S.

I just took him literally. "Tie your line to a post and walk away"

[WolfeMan]

HECK! My line isn't even TWISTED - I was just trying to learn a new tip.

WolfeMan, let me make this easy for you...

1) This evening drive over to Lloyd. I can't meet you, but call and leave me a message so I can be SURE you follow the steps below properly.
2) The Lloyd dump now has a nice new Obama-funded fence. Tie the line from each rod you own to that fence.
3) Walk (or drive if you must) away
4) Come back the next morning and guarantee you won't have any problem with line twist on THOSE PARTICULAR rods anymore.

Bare Behind JT Twisted. I'm not confused nor is my line twisted but I don't want to hear anymore...

[WolfeMan]

I ought to just tie my line to you, John- you are so darn good at twisting my words, maybe you will un-twist my lines!

[Jumptrout51]

PA they are still missing the most important part of your technique,but I understand.

[Rhettley]

I get the dragging line behind the boat without a lure attached part, but I'm still a little confused about kicking the bear out of the boat. That sounds dangerous.

[big bend gyrene]

I think you troll a bear behind your boat to keep Jumptrout away.

Bman, I think Jumptrout's actually relieved that it's a bear that has to be trolled behind the boat and not one of his lovely lady friends.

Now we're talkin twisted!!

I have a variation on the solution of tying the line to a tree or fence. Instead of tying it off I put on a swivel and sinker, hand it to my kid and tell him to run to the other end of my neighbors yard. He knows the deal now and calls it earning his keep.
