Avoiding Line Twist: It is the nature of a spinning reel of the open-faced design that when the handle is turned to recover line against the weight of a stationary or moving fish a twist is put into the line. The correct way to recover a line with an ultra-light outfit is to "pump" the fish in. Make sure the fish is stationary or moving towards you. If the fish is running, wait until the fish stops before attempting to recover line. Draw the rod tip gently but firmly upward as long as the fish tends to give ground. Then, lower the rod tip and reel in the slack line at the same time. Reeling in against a running fish or a stationary one will always put a twist in the fine-diameter monofilament line.
