No idea then. You could always use this problem as an excuse to buy a new rod !!!

Have you considered using braid, just loaded my 'pin with some 6lb fireline, haven't tried it yet though.

if using two maggots on the hook either use a (size 10/12 swivel) or top & tail them



this stops the maggots from propellering on the retrieve ,twisting the line

just ditch the rubbish line and buy some ultima flo-cast ,it wont let you down.it is the ultimate floating line

i`d recommend using a hooklength coupled too the braid .oh and be prepared fishing with braid is floatfishing but not as you know it ,its 1000% more sensative .don`t strike !! just pull gently into the fish ,in a smooth action ad trust your rod ,let it do most of the work (as a shosk absorber) and if you use a mono hooklength that will take care of the pull of the fish .and remember the first golden rule of fishing ! Never let go of the rod
braid will magnify the fight of the fish hold the rod too lightly and you could loose it

Used to use Bayer Perlon many years ago, was a good line but didn't last long. Most people I knew would strip off a fair bit after each session so four or five trips later you were replacing the whole line.

There are much better lines on the market these days, try Daiwa Sensor it's never let me down.

If that doesn't work get your tackle dealer to check out your rod rings, some are better than others or maybe one of them is damaged?

I've had this problem flyfishing when I started using long leaders. After landing a fish, half the leader is inside the rod rings. Pulling it out, against the reel check, resulted in a curly leader. I get round this now by pulling line off the reel ang gently pulling leader through tip ring.
When using a centrepin, a cast is made by pulling a loop or loops of line through one or more set(s) of rings. If your reel check (ratchet) is on this will increase the pressure between line and ring, causing the dreaded curls.
As a lad I was taught how to use the 'pin by an old master and he stressed that the only time you should ever engage the check is when playing a fish.
If you're not using the check the problem must lie with the rings. Are they lined?
