Default Loop Booster Twin Tip (Pike Lne) Memory Issues??? HELP???

Folks what do you reckon about this...

Bought a secondhand Loop Booster twin Tip Pike Line online (described as barely used). Got it in post today & all looked perfect.

Began to uncoil it this evening to find absolutely shocking twist/memory/kinking...

I have spent all day soaking in warmish water, stretching & pulling through my fingers...its still not much better!!!

Guy that sold it to me says it was like this from beginning & reckoned its a manufacturing problem but I'm not convinced...

I've used quite a few Loop lines & never had issue with them so I am surprised if this is 'just the line.' I suspect incorrect loading & storage maybe???

What are your thoughts???...Ive never worked with a line that would not stretch out & pull through nicely to eventually lay out in nice big limp coils ready for loading back onto reel...even after a full year sitting on a reel!!!

And its no cheapy retailing @ £75!!! Although Ive bought this SH as it appeared to be a bargain.

Would love any helpful suggestions on probable cause & possible fixes as potentially cracking line system.

If the guy who sold you it says it was always like that then he knew there was a problem with it. Did he describe it like that in the ad?

Was it ebay or somewhere similar where you have a relatively easy way of taking action?

I'd be pushing for my money back. No matter what it retails for and how much you paid for it, its not a bargain if its only fit for the bin!

Didn't we cover this in another section? Ideally this thread should be closed
