Here I gave my opinion on conventional vs Spincast reels and should have taken my own advice. Yesterday while fishing I heard Bluefish were driving bait up off Kittery Pt., ME. I always keep 2 setup in the boat for live bait fishing and thay have baitrunner reels (spincast). I grabbed thoses setups and rigged steel leaders with orange Rangers on them (always had good luck fast trolling Rangers when the Bluefish are surfacing). We trolled for about 15 mins and had to reel in because of seaweed on the rangers. Guess what - when we went to put them back out we opened the bails and found bad line twist. That ended trolling for Blues and looks like I will be putting new line on of at least cutting off the twisted line.
