| I have a few baits that twist up the line pretty good. It seems to eventually after a couple of weeks work the twists out...does this effect the 80lb line? It does seem to hurt the performance...worried about if it is getting weak...thanks for any insight...Ben |

| Your line should never get twisted up if your using a good ball bearing swivel on your leaders!  |

| A low Rider does that to my line, this year I will try to use two ball bearing swivels. I will keep one on the baits that really seem to twist them up and one on the top of the leader. Give it a try! |

| Ty's Rough Runner twist the line BAD! I added a second BALL BEARING SAMPO and it still does. Any help would be great!
I have such good luck with the bait I keep it on all day.
Then cut off all the hardware pail out some line put the boat in gear just a idle open the bait let the line out for a while, Then ingage the reel and real in the line, This will remove the twist after a day of fishing! |

| On the Low Riders, attach a small bell weight to the middle hook's split ring. It will stop the roll. |

Location: Chicago, Beverly | What NXTCAST said is what Maxima line told me to do...they said many charter guys on the pacific do that at the end of the day as they are heading in.... might not be easy to do on a busy lake, but it will work if you can do it.. |

| You can also put a small clear plastic trolling keel in front of the leader. I do this when I troll bucktails but it will work formosr any situation. |

| If your rough runners (or your pacemakers) roll and twist the line, you can do two things that haven't been mentioned yet:
1. Bigger hooks
2. Slow down and work them at the speeds they were designed for |
