If you fish a lot or hook into big fish, you've got to check this out!
Braided fishing line gets twisted with every rotation of the reel when a fish is taking out line and pulling drag.
And you'll need to untwist it and check the integrity of your line before you re-rig and get back to fishing.
So in this video, you'll learn how to get the twists out of your braided line.
Watch Capt. Mark Hollywood Johnson show you the easiest and fastest way to unspin your line so you can keep fishing like a pro!
Check it out!

For those who don't have a boat - - 1) Cast out 30 - 40 yards and take up the slack on the line. 2) Put the line in the clip on the reel. 3) Loosen the drag so the reels spins freely. 4) Wind the handle backwards - 20 times. The reel should turn - that's how the twists go away. 5) Un-clip the line and tighten the drag. 6) Wind in the line. 7) Cast out as far as you can and do it again until there's no twist in the line.
Im still " AMAZED", How many people dont know this trick to getting twist out of line. I have done this for years with mono.
I showed my Brother this Technique, while fishing on a Oregon Lake. The younger Brother didnt believe me, until the more knowledgeable Older Brother proved it ! ha ha.
Haha! Sounds like the whole crew is in the know now!
Tip: if you put the rod tip in the water at the start it will speed up the line from coming off the reel.
Thanks for the video. You guys are doing a great job.
Capt. Hollywood your best. Thx!
Thanks for the tip and nice boat!
I'm having this problem with Spiderwire brand, using a 10lb braid on my 2500 Fierce. I was thinking about replacing the line but will definitely try this. Is very disappointing while trying to do fishing and having to deal with line getting all twisted. Never had a single problem with PowerPro. Great video Salt Strong.
If you don’t have a boat you can buy a PVA bag put a few stones in it tie it on to the end of the line and cast it in to a lake as far as you can. The pva will melt now reel in with the line under tension and it will take the twists out. May have to do it a few times. Or walk along the water’s edge letting out line in to the water as you go. Now real it all in. If you can get to a high building you can let the line out from the top and then wind it in under tension and lastly a fast moving river with a bridge let the line out so it’s carried away from you in the flow and bring in back in under tension.
I fished mono for decades and it never gave me any issues. I twitched over to braid because everyone is raving about it and it seems like the latest and greatest. I have never casted so many birds nests in my life. It does this on both rods. I bought a top end braid at Cabela's as well. I will be going back to mono I think. The braid seems like such garbage and it a massive PITA. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Great tip
That’s the exact same reel I have so it’s is a great video
Thanks!
Great tip. Thanks much.
When you do this you will be amazed at how much drag just a line pulled in water can have
Been doing this for years in a river. Stand in a rapid, let out about a hundred yards of line, wait five minutes, reel up the line tight in a wet washcloth.
Won't the line get stuck or damaged in weeds/ rocks?
Nice fishing video! Subbed!
What brand of fishing rod you use please ?
This is great information when using a boat. Can you please do a video on mono without a boat. Unfortunately I don't have a boat.
One trick is to tie a quality ball bearing swivel or even a couple in tandem on your line, then tie a big weight on the other side of the swivel, then wedge the weight in a fence or something so it won’t move but the swivel can still turn and work properly, then just open your bail and walk out further than your longest cast, close the bail, tighten the drag, and reel in and walk towards your stationary weight, the swivel or swivels you tied on your line with help get rid of the twist in your line, that’s why quality ball bearing swivels have to be used so they spin properly, just remember to keep tension while reeling and walking, and that should eliminate the twist, I’ve done this with really heavily twisted mono and flouro
@@HATINTHEKAT I'll try it tomorrow. thank you for the Information, I appreciate it.
@@freddy3070 no problem
"Easy way to untwist your braided fishing line"
Me: Ok ok...Go on
"Troll it behind your boat"
Me: ....Oh...... :(
Bro just sprint 40+ mph across the shoreline, it aint that difficult....
Ok let me go buy a boat to unspin my line (tip is still appreciated).
@@JUSTShowMeHow13 Bro not even, just go on the highway with your car and unspin your line going 200+mph....you gotta hack the system
@@JUSTShowMeHow13 Told my missus we need a boat so I can un-spin my fishing line..... She didn't go for it!
@@deanmartin6052 🤣🤣🤣
Got the same problem with my grappler 8 , whats the reason behind this? Is it the line it self? And how to avoid it. Thanks

I have used braid since Fireline came on the market. I use it on everyone of my rods,from panfish to shark with mono leaders.
I have never had a problem with it in all those years. This year I have been having problems on 3 of my reels and a buddy also has the same problem on one.
The problem is when spooling new line,reeling in a lure/jig on our panfish/crappie setups it twists the line. The line isn't slipping on the reel nor is the drag to lose. I have tied my line to something and walked off all the line. I then went back to the rod and started untwisting it by hand via pinched finger and walking the length of line to the end multiple times that is no longer tied to car,tree,fence,etc. Here's the problem,when it's good and straight I go back and start spooling it back on while pinching it up near the 1st guide. Within a few turns of the handle it has twisted up again up to where my fingers are pinching it.
This twisting is so bad it causes wind knots on a pretty regular basis. The reels are only maybe 6 yrs old and I take care of them and also never lay them in the dirt,sand,etc. or dunk them.
I can't figure it out,I have taken the bail roller completely apart,cleaned it thoroughly and re-lubed it with Quantum hot sauce oil (not the grease) and made sure it's spinning freely. I have spooled on new line from a different spool and it twists. I have tried letting the water current take the line off and then respool..... but it's still twisting it.
I thought it may been the age of the line as I get about 7 yrs out of braid,but I respooled with new as did my buddy and there it is,twisted again.
Any idea WTH is going on,it's 3 different reels out of maybe 40-50 I own and use. The 3 that it's doing it on I have 6 of the same models 3 1000 and 3 2500's. It's doing it on 1 1000 and 1 2500 of the same model and a 2500 of another..

All I get now is spam in my email to join for $9.95 or something per month. Screw that garbage.
@@rider660rdid you figure out how to fix this issue?
Also when you register your email with that page to comment,they sell it to all these scammers that send you a ton of garbage emails....
SOB needs their teeth knocked out...
casting a weight with a ball bearing swivel and pinching the line while you reel in works too
Yup. Been doing that for for 20 years since using power pro that or trolling it behind my kayak or canoe.
Can you guys tell me what brand is the rod on the video. Thanks.
What Daiwa Reels do you use?
What rod is that
No boat, no problem. Get a mate, a battery drill and go down a deserted stretch of beach. Put line end in drill chuck (tape it on a bit of small diameter wooden dowel etc), one of you walk the line out (with the drill), then use the drill to unspin the line (forward or reverse, not sure which way), then reel it back up. Should only take a minute or so.
Been doing that for years. Every day after fishing as I'm heading out I drag it behind me for 5 to 10 as I put everything away.
Sorry for stupid question but what’s the urgency on this? Never done this and fought large fish my whole life. I don’t get it. Can someone explain the risk of not doing this
Do you not use a ball bearing swivel? Why?
got it so i just need a boat!
What do you do if you don't have a boat?
Yes, it is easy to get the twists out when you have a boat, but for the majority of us who have no boats, what should we do then? Are we out of luck?
No good solution that I know of. Best to buy bulk spools of line and change the line when the twist becomes problematic. Even dragging behind a boat is just temporary, it will twist again.
There is a special lead called the "Spin Doctor." It is designed to counter spin your line. I don't use it. I either use a normal bank sinker and cast out and try to press the spin out of the line, or I have a couple spots on the river I can use the current like they do the boat.
No problem, use current at the bridge, works just as well
Use a swivel in line for Shore fish also don't reel when fish is taking line line going out and you reeling cause line twist
I use two swivels, close to each other, as part of my trace, they help prevent most line twist!
mono/nylon lines.
the rest of us who do not have a boat, how will we do it?
your spool collects more at the top ??
👍🏼👍🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What reel is that
Looks like a BG MQ. 5000 or 6000
Thanks
It's a 8000
Do I need to buy a boat? 🤣
Alot fuel to unspin it
so step 1: Buy a Boat
for those that do not want to make this small sacrifice you may move on to other methods
Oh great! Let me buy a boat first..
And if you don't have a boat.........
Waisted of time
