Question
Spinning reel line twist?
I switched to baitcaster reels because the more I fished my spinning reels with mono, the more line twist I would get resulting in the eventual birdsnest. I would like to go back to the spinning reel for lightweight lures. Will braid solve my line twist problem?

Yes there will end up being twist in your line no matter what reel you use but it does not effect braid.

I just recently switched over to braid line. A guide I went out fishing with had it and he showed me the difference between mono and braid. I was using the braid to catch catfish. 20# test line and no stretch with no memory whatsoever. I will never go back to a mono line on my reels ever again. I have it on my baitcast and spinning reels and it works miraculously well.

YES IT WOULD! I have been fishing with braid for about 3 years and i been loving every bit of it. I never got a birdsnest with this line and it never got twisted up.

I have 1 baitcaster and 1 spinning reel both have a braided line. I always use a snap swivel or leader which helps with line twist. I personally love braid and will never go back to a mono again. I think that braided lines can take more twist than mono can. It also depends on the type of braid, I just bought sufix performance braid and got 3 knots in my first day on my Canada fishing trip. I hate that line, on the other hand I love Spiderwire original but it is becoming harder and harder to find. I have only broke Spiderwire once, and it was a bad knot that was my fault.
