June fishing tip: An easy fix for line memory

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Ever open the bail and watch your line spring off the reel like a slinky, or spend quality fishing time dealing with twists, loops and tangles?

The culprit is often line memory, or the tendency of fishing line to hold the shape of the spool it came from.

Here’s a simple trick to help:

Before spooling new line onto your reel, place the spool in a container of warm water for a few minutes. The warmth helps relax the line and reduce its memory, allowing it to lay more naturally on the reel. Leave the spool in the water as you add the line to your reel.

The result? Fewer line-management issues, smoother casts and more time focused on catching fish instead of untangling knots.

It’s a quick and easy step that can make a noticeable difference the next time you’re preparing your gear for a day on the water.
