I bought an cheap reel at Sports Authority that had a backing and a 6 wt floating level line already on. This is for a starter rod for my 7 year old son for a Christmas present. (Line will get upgraded eventually, but this is good for him to start practicing on for now) I have been ?testing? the reel out and noticed that the stripped line at my feet tends to curl/twist up. Makes it a little hard to lay out line with it like that. My question is, what is a good method to untwist the line?? I have access to the side of a dam with a high wall probably 40-50 feet down to water. I was thinking about just letting all the line out and let it hang there and float in the water, then wind it back up keeping some tension on it with my non-reel hand. Think that will work, or will the twist just get reeled back onto the spool? I of course will tie on a large wolly bugger and see if I can pull a large bass 50 feet up into the air on a 3X tippet!

Thanks,
Alan
