Bait runners

Mono or Braid? If your in a boat you might try putting just a swivel on and let most of the line run off the reel behind the boat and then reel it back on while the boat remains in motion. This will allow the line to pack on the spool better and remove any/most twisting.

Thanks. Did that already. Stripped the spools and reloaded with Momoi mono. Initially no twist but after a couple of bait releases and re-spools the twists returned.

Setup is mono:swivel:leader:hook

Are you using a swivel or just a hook? Perhaps the Mackerel are swimming in circles and causing the twist. You could put a rubber band on the spool after setting your baits out, this would defeat the purpose of a bait runner though and I'm running out of ideas
