Does anyone have any recommendations on how to put new mono on spinning reels and eliminate the line twist??
I've tried putting the line down through the guides, attaching to the spool and reeling it on. I've watched closely to see if line twist is developing and then flipped the supply over. I still get lots of line twist.
During the open water season I just let a bunch of line out behind the boat and the twist is gone. That's not an option now though. I could drill a hole over the basin of a deep lake, but what a hassle.
There has to be a good way to put it on from the beginning. Anyone??
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
