I reduced my line twist drastically when I switched from playing fish from the clutch to back winding.
I peeled off as much line as I could and as often as I could to reduce the twist.

Yeah I’m resigned to having to find a big field to do this haha

I'm lucky that I have a big playing field in front of my house.
I literally cut any lead off etc..
Grabbed the end of the line with an open bail arm
Walked, counting 100-120 steps ( I don't fish more than 80 yrds atm)
Walked back.
With a damp sponge, held the line to the rod blank and reeled it in, under tension until it was all back on the reel.
Did this for each rod. Pretty much removed the line twist.

Distance sticks, not really, as the line tension will still be there.
As mentioned, an open field or spin doctor if you can't.

If this method doesn’t work will certainly be buying one mate

Just use a spin doctor lead......2-3 casts and it will remove the twist.

Well I have nothing to lose as the current condition of the line is no good so will give it a try round the sticks and just be careful when I get to the last few turns

I’m not sure to be fair only thing I can think of is when all that twist is built up before the last couple of wraps it may wrap round your rod and sticks

Might sound silly but could I do the same method but use wrapping sticks??

If you can find the space go to an open field with your rods with a lead on then open the bail arm then walk the rod until the spools nearly empty. Cut the lead off so it’s just line then go back to your rod and wind your line in through a damp cloth with some tension so it goes onto your reel right. I used to have terrible line twist and did this and it totally eliminated it.
