Have you looked at the Berkley Connect CM90, lowest memory line I have ever come across

Brilliant line sadly out of stock everywhere

Still use Berkley Big Game, no reason to change for carp fishing.
Bulk spools available cheaply 2,600 yds I believe I buy normally.

Gardner Pro in light or dark depending on the water clarity.

Personally found that the Gardner Pro twists quite quickly.
Been spooling reels for years so it wasn't how that was done and have been using my Emblems for a good few years too. I also avoid using drag etc wherever poss.
CM90 for me is perfect

Never had that problem to be honest, BUT, I don't play fish off the clutch, nor use lead clips and allow as little line off the Baitrunner as possible.
I personally found using run rings that line twist is reduced compared to semi-fixed leads😉
I also put the line in a bucket of water, and spool it onto the reel however it comes.

Go as thick as you can.

Gardner pro or any other line for that matter does not twist quickly unless you are putting twist into it.
It seems that people want to blame the line for the twist when it simply isn't the line. This starts with how you put the line on your reel and then how you use it and with what type of reel - baitrunners put twist into line and showboaters using a light clutch also do the same. It's also good practice to use a twistbuster every now and then.

Some lines are far more prone to twist though Andy, all will twist but some far more easily than others

Totally agree, use it for all my mono spools. i just get one size breaking strain down from what i normally use as the breaking strain is understated. i.e. 12lb breaks at 16lb. tackle box line tests have info on it.
