This time let's go into a little care of your line. When you have a line and it's been sitting in your boat, your garage, after a while with a little bit of heat or not, it's going to be coiled. And on the cast, you may get loops, and so before I go fishing, the night before, what I do, is I will tie a knot, and I'll tie that to my mailbox.
So I'm going to do that, and then once I do that, I'll let out a bunch of line. And basically what I'm doing, is stretching it. Now I'm out two cast's length. So if I use the line on a fishing trip, and I break it off, or I cut it off and re-tie, I'm going to have plenty of line that's in the reel that's stretched, that's limber, and is straight and it doesn't coil. So I'm going to stretch it and show you the same line, which we just looked at. You want to stretch it almost to breaking point, and stretch it for a good 30 seconds, 45 seconds, and you real good results.
Now this is the line that was on the reel, and you could see before it was coiled. Hopefully, you can see. Now most of those can sit out there. If I stretch it a little longer, a little tighter, those kinks will be completely gone. And so a lot more limp, and it'll get rid of a little bit of twist, but not much.
The way to get rid out of your twists, if you have a boat and you are fishing, and you have twists, get in your driver seat, start the motor, take the lower off your line, put your rod tip with about four feet of line on it in the water, and then open your bail and let it take out the line. Feather it out, don't just open the bail, you don't want to twist up and knot up about there. It won't help you. But if you can let that straight line back behind the boat, two or three casts' worth, and that water will take those kinks out, and it'll be straight smooth line after you reel it in. Now reel it in while you're moving, because that will keep pressure on it, and it'll load onto the reel lots smoother.
So these are some techniques that'll help you with better success, casting problems, and obviously that'll put more fish in the boat. If you have any questions, just let me know.
