The cause of line twisting on reels
The problem when
fishing for carp with twisted line is it may cause the line to spring up off the
bottom. The line can loop up at each coil in the line. This means it will be
much harder to completely pin the main line to the bottom so carp cannot
detect it when swimming close to the lake bed. There are 3 ways to limit line twist:
Load Carp Fishing Line Correctly You can minimize line twist by loading the fishing line onto the spool correctly. This is done by firstly checking to see which direction your reel's carriage (or bale arm) rotates. Look at your reel from the front, if the carriage rotates clockwise (which is the normal for most fixed spool reels), then you need to make sure the line comes off the new line spool anti-clockwise. Always loading fishing line onto a reel the opposite way to which the carriage rotates stops the line from twisting. Here are some pictures showing how to load fishing line correctly onto a carp reel.
Different Fishing Reels Fishing reels that have a bigger spool will naturally produce less line twist than reels with a smaller spool diameter. This means big pit reels will cause less line twists as there are less turns but more capacity of line.
Eliminate Line Twist Problems
A spin doctor is a lead which
contains angled groves. The groves in the lead causes the line to twist anti-clockwise
as it is brought back through the water. Casting out and retrieving the lead takes out
the twists. How much line twist is on the reel will determine how many casts
will be required to eliminate it. As a guide, you don't want the spin doctor
lead to spin in one direction for a long time after retrieval. If you let
the spin doctor lead hang about 4 feet from the rod tip after retrieval, it
should NOT spin anti-clockwise for very long. If it spins anti-clockwise for
a long time then all the twist has not gone. If it spins clockwise for long
periods then you have added too much reverse twists. Other Carp Fishing Advice:
