$30 for Pflueger President spinning reel

[Ham]

Dave likes a big spool because he insists on using straight flurocarbon. Lunatic.

I have 25 of the presidentials and use them for guiding trout. That is a great price!

I feel better after reading this. I own less gear than a fishing guide. A little less gear so I feel a little better.

Get two for the price of one is a great deal.

You couldnt pay me to use straight flouro on spinning gear. I fish to much, and would have to re-spool every week

If you are getting too much twist on your spinning rigs it is likely your casting.  You are snapping it too hard and causing your bait to spin too much in the air.  Step down one line size and/or have someone punch you in the arm so you can't cast so hard.  All that extra casting effort is doing more harm than good.

there are a ton of causes of twist. Reeling against the drag, spooling technique and on and on. Thankfully twisted braid just doesn’t seem to care...if it did my son would be hosed.

I use swivel snaps and my spinning reels, seems to help with line twist and i do use mono. Also when i respool i lay the spool on the floor so that it unwinds counter clockwise.

When you have a good length of line out (more than 10-15 ft.) a swievel, regardless of how expensive it is, really doesn't help that much.  The twist spreads up the line and simply doesn't have enough torque to spin a swievel.   By the time it has twisted enough to spin a swievel you're already screwed.

The only time I've ever seen a swievel do it's job is on limb lines and trot lines, or maybe when trolling.  And of course....on a Spinnerbait.
