Actually got stopped by the Rozzers on the way to a particularly large field less than 1/2 a mile away from my house, so used the wrap sticks same method cut the lead off then wound on through a wet sponge literally removed almost all of the twist so very happy cheers chaps 👍

absolutely pulling my hair out with the twist im getting with the fox exocet tapered line. Ive tried all methods to stop it twisting but its still doing it. I've tried walking it out, a spin doctor and playing fish by back winding... any other tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks mate, i forgot to say I've done that too. The line is spilling off the spool and wrapping around the eyes too, couod it be the heat, or crap line? Never had it like this before

Had massive issues with my Exocet yesterday unbelievable amount of twist and it's floating. It's only been on for two session but both were in these ridiculous temperatures so I'm thinking this could be an issue as I've never really had any problems before.

Its around a month old and not really been used much. This line has been pretty poor since i first spooled it on. Its really bad on all three rods, and I've tried it with a variety of rigs to try and eliminate something but its still twisting.
I can see a change of line coming pretty soon as I'm not impressed at all

We've all had it. it's not twisted when its spooled up by the supplier, it gets twisted by us.
As said below you need to remove the twist, the walk if out on a field and reel if back in through a towel usually does the trick.
It's not bad line...

How did you put the line on. With the label facing you with coils coming off towards you or the spool upright so the line comes off straight.

As stated I followed the advice but used wrapping sticks cut the lead off and wind back on using a wet sponge wedged in the butt ring and a dripping wet towel took 90% of the twist out
