I have some Fluoro to stretch out once that's loaded onto new spools, so will do the Technium at the same time...
I'll take some scales and gently pull on the WHOLE length of line until I get 15lb on the dial and then gently ease back off. If I can get a 15lb pull on it that'll do for me.
Then wind it all in through the grass in the field to comb out any twist.
As much as the close season is frustrating...it does give us a chance to get things done properly, ready for the off in June

I spooled my technium and then walked out the rods 100m (ish) and wound back to remove twist. However I don't really think it needed it, very little twist in it from initial spooling.

I notice there's been another invention to get rid of line twist.

ive spoke to shimano over the spools i bought from bobco.
"Hi Andy,
Sorry for the slow reply, but from looking at the images and checking our records this is not the newly released line.
We didn't sell any of the UK spec line to Bobco before they ceased trading."
The newer line is however in stock and able to be ordered from any UK shimano stockist.

That's reassuring! Tested my 12lb (new) technium with peddle boat on a park lake last week - performed well and landed the apologetic family without any issues.
