Thread: Tangled lines

it took a minute , but only one line got cut and not sure it needed to be is me , did have to get out my readers to better understand the situation at hand though .....

And floats left on the line seem to throw a few extra twists as well. Figured after over all these years of fishing I would have learned what not to do but still do it. Just takes one float to make a mess so I try to remove them while walking or driving. I can't walk from my truck to the house without getting them tangled.

But in the end, the knots went away and the fish got played. That does look like a genuine mess though. I wrap mine like the bass guys do. You know, pull the line from the tip to the hook holder away from the rod and spin four times or so. Keeps me in more hair as I don t pull it out as I undo said tangles. Kids have to make mistakes before we point them out and teach them how to do it right. It’s part of the learning curve.
