Every fly angler has experienced a wicked twist in their fly line causing it to tangle and knot at their feet.
It may be caused by a flawed casting stroke, a big fly twisting in the wind or it may be God punishing you for masturbating. Regardless of why it occurs, it’s frustrating at the least and heartbreaking at the worst. There’s nothing worse than taking a shot at the fish of a lifetime, only to have your cast cut short by a knot in your guides.
Fortunately, a twisted fly line is easy to fix. You don’t have to lose valuable fishing time, while stripping the entire line off the reel and towing it behind the boat or letting it hang in the current. You can fix that twist in seconds.
In this video, our good friend Zack Dalton from RIO Products shows you how.

Brian,
Pretty cool huh. It works like a charm. Much faster than untwisting down stream with the current. Thanks for the comment.
Kent
Right??!! I am amazed how well this works~>
and super simple! After throwing heavy streamers and mice all weekend, I tried this a few different times to untangle the twist and POOF!! they were gone! Thanks again for keeping it real and sharing relevant info for the rest of us. Keep it up.
Tight Lines,

Brian,
That tip amazes me every time I use it. Ha. Glad it’s helping you on the water.
Kent
Very cool tip, line twists seem to invariably happen float fishing to me, now I think I know why and how to stop them!
SWEET! I love throwin’ the big poppers but they are hell on the twist. This may be the single most useful tip that I’ve picked up here. (And there have been MANY!)
THANKS!
This may be the best tip ever for someone who fishes shooting lines on beaches.
Wally, Mike and Jeff,
Glad you liked today’s tip. We were just as excited to see it when Zach Dalton showed it to us on the river. I’ve used it countless times and it works like a charm every time.
Kent
Thank you for that great public service announcement. It should clean up the language on the river significantly.
That’s just pure bad-asssness.
Too obvious…must be why I never thought of it….
Great tip, thanks!
I’ve used this several times since you showed this to me. Sweet little trick!
that is a great tip, I fish lots of big streamers and will be using it. Of course, being an “older” guy, I had to write it down and put in my vest.
Wow. Huge tip. Going to try this for sure.
Thanks great tip…..Now if you could just explain a simple few steps to untangle my birds nest of leader….didn’t think so…. !
