Why does fishing line go curly?
“A lot of times, especially if you’re fishing with gold spoons, the line will physically twist,” Champagne said. “All of that jigging and jiving and bouncing lures makes it twist and start kinking. “So if you don’t take the lure off, you might get it straight, but it won’t take the twists out.”
Why do my fishing lines tangle when casting?
Slack fishing line is a big culprit when it comes to line tangles. As you reel in slack line, this creates loose coils on your spool. When you cast, these loose coils will come off the spool quickly compared to the line around it, causing the coils to overlap on themselves as they leave the reel and tangle up.

It should roughly match the weight of the species you are fishing for (e.g. use line in the 30-pound test for tuna in the 30-pound range). A typical line to cast for trout would be 4-pound test. Consider braided line of 30-pound test or more if you go after large game fish.

Another way of putting line-twist in the line is incorrectly filling the reel with line. Spinning type reels must be filled with the side plate of the line-spool facing the front of the reel’s spool. The line coming off the line-spool must be coming off in the same direction as it is going onto the reel.
What causes line memory?
Line memory can occur if a fishing line sits on a spool for too long. Over time the fishing line will remember the shape of the spool and will tend to curl trying as the line comes off the spool.
