I recently bought two new rods and reels. an ultra lite and lite rod and spinning reel. I figured I try some main line fluoro. I bought the Berkley vanish. 4 and 6lb test. after casting and retrieving my line my rooster tail or any lure im using just spins in circles for a minute or so. its as if the line is all twisted. I spooled it on my reel just like I always have. im not sure if I did something wrong or its the Berkley vanish line I purchased. any advise will be much appreciated. thanks guys

Vanish has a history of line twist, from the intro till now. If you like the Berkley brand, their 100% Trilene FC XL is made for spinning and I had no issues with 8lb test.

Only thing I can tell you is try line conditioner, soak the spool in water and make sure the line is coming off the spool to your spool correctly, usually label side facing you. FC for me has always been tough on spinning gear once you go over 6lb test for me, but the Berkley 100% FC XL worked great, remember, it's not the gold 100% FC, it's the gold and red packaging

thanks guys, I appreciate the info. I should have researched it before I went out and bought the first fluoro line I seen. well im glad I got to experience it for myself. I just went out and bought 4lb trilene xl smooth cast. I am going to respool my reels tonight and give it a try tomorrow. going to hit a stream that I have been catching rainbows in all winter.

P line. Green box. Ccx I think. 6 lb is an animal. But that's only on one set up--which I use for trout and live lining Herring. I don't use anything else.

Everything else gets 12-15 lb power pro super slick or sufix 832 with a uni to uni to 8-15 lb seaguar blue label fluoro.

Yea. What was mentioned above make sure the line goes off the spool as if it were coming on the spool hard to do it for spinning reel best thing you could do is soak it as mentioned. Next time you buy the spool just let the tackle shop put it on the line winder machine will put it on better and pack it tighter when i worked at efingers we did it all the time for customers free of charge.
