[QUOTE="Bricball, post: 235628, member: 7368"] Well...I experienced the same thing for a long time. I can say that what "helped" was that I made sure to not hold the spool of line vertically rather than horizontally when you put line onto your reel. Hold the line spool like this ____ not like this I. Also.....buy a good line conditioner like a Blakemore's or even KVD's line conditioner. Also...I take my rods out of my rod locker and not keep them in a "hotbox" after each outing. Always take them out and don't store them in there for DAYS. Everything expands and contracts upon temp change..your line is no different. Line memory will take place quickly if you do this. Also...the closing the bail manually and the swivel work too...but I gotta say that I had several reels that had that problem and I used the line conditioner and it worked wonders. Saturate your line well before you use it...a day or so before. If none of that works...buy a WIDE SPOOL reel. A lot of the baitcasters manufacturers are going that route anyway. Hope this helps.
