How To Prevent Your Fishing Line from Getting Tangled With These Tips

There are some unspoken challenges when it comes to fishing. One of them is getting a fishing line tangled like a plastic version of a bird&#;s nest when you&#;re casting your line perched on top of a Stacer boat. This is annoying and difficult to untangle them and if you don&#;t have the patience to untangle them slowly, you&#;ll resort to chucking them in the garbage bin.

It can be costly to keep buying fishing lines, especially if those fishing lines are new or in good shape. This article will explain the possible reasons why your fishing lines get tangled and how you can prevent them from forming into a messy web of lines.

Why Your Fishing Lines Get Entangled With Each Other

Incorrect Spooling

The spool is the metal container that holds the fishing line inside your reel. It&#;s where your line gets out and returns to during and after you catch a fish. The most common cause of tangled lines is over spooling. A fishing reel is only meant to hold a certain amount of fishing line within it, and putting in more than that can lead to issues when casting.

You know you&#;re over spooling when you cast your bait and several loops of line spill out and make a tangled mess.

Line Memory

The material line is made from, which is either monofilament or fluorocarbon, which can sometimes retain its shape that&#;s been moulded in for a long time. It will hold the shape unless there&#;s an external force to prevent it from doing it. When you take the line off the spool and wind it around a differently-sized spool in the reel, there&#;s some sort of disconnection between the remembered line shape and the new one which causes the line to weirdly wrapped around itself and get hopelessly entangled when you cast it.

Flop Technique

Maybe the problem is not your rod or reel, maybe it&#;s you! Maybe your casting technique causes the reel to slack, resulting in tangles. Reeling in loose lines can cause the lines to bunch up when passing through the bail.

Lure Weight

Sometimes it&#;s not your fault and not your reels&#; but it&#;s your lure weight. Casting a lure that is too heavy or light can cause your reel to unspool incorrectly which, as you can guess, leads to bird nests and backlashes. Too heavy lures can cause your spool to spin way too fast while a lure that is too light may not be heavy enough

How to Prevent Tangling Your Lines

Here are some ways you can do to prevent this annoying occurrence with your fishing lines:

Know when to stop spooling. Most reels have a mark in the spool that shows how far up the line should rise when it&#;s full. Make sure the line in your spools is even as it goes on. The loose line can tangle when being reeled in and may cause a gnarly backlash during casting.

Make sure the line you&#;re using isn&#;t too big for the reel. The bearings and line guides of some reels are smaller compared to others, so ask an expert or the staff from marine boat stores you&#;re buying the line from which appropriate line is best for your reel.

You can also let the new spooled reel sit for a few days before you use it so the line can get used to the new shape.

If you need your fishing line soon, you can also soak it in warm water to speed up the process. Braided lines have less memory and will re-spool without any hassle.

If the technique is your problem, all you need to do is the pointer finger technique. You just need to extend your finger until you&#;ve reeled in all the slack and continue to retrieve your bait as normal. This trick has the added benefit of increasing your bite sensitivity.

If lures are keeping your lines from getting tangled, choose a rod, reel, and fishing line that is suitable for the type of fishing you plan on doing. Most rods have a lure weight range that recommends the appropriate weight of the lure.

These marine accessories are essential for your fishing efforts. Make sure to take care of them and use techniques to prevent them from getting bunched up and tangling with each other making them unusable.

Camilo,
In spite of directions, I have never really found any way to spool line on a spinning reel that leaves me without some or a lot of line twist after fishing a bit.

But, now, I never worry about it. Whenever I notice line twist and if I am in the middle of fishing, I just pop off the reel, put it in the bag for reels to be twist fixed so to speak and mount another reel. Then, when it is convenient, I mount the reels that have line twist in them by letting out all of the line from a moving boat with no terminal tackle on the line and letting it drag in the water for a good distance. The water drag gets rid of all of the drag. Then, with the drag set tight enough and with the boat not moving and the rod tip in the water, I wind the line back on the spool. Now, the line is on the spool correctly and will go a long time before the twists pop up again. But when they do, I just repeat the process.

I really don't know of any magic way to get line on a spinning reel that will work as well as if the line is reeled back onto the spool with the line free to drag and relieve itself of any line twist. It just seems to me that the way that line goes on a spinning reel with the reel itself is rather unique and normally can not be easily duplicated. I simply say this because I have spooled line on a spinning reel and a spinning reel using every reasonable method and still in a short time end up with line twists - no matter the make or model of reel. But, any more, I don't worry about it. I simply use the line in the water being reeled back on the spinning reel to take care of the twists.

Best wishes.
