I’ve seen people put their lines in warm water overnight. I don’t know if that would help.

I wouldn’t put it over night, i heard like 10 mins and make sure u dry it after. I also saw a guy say that when he goes out, he ties his line to a tree or something and walks back about 15-20 yards, which is like the average cast distance, and keep the line pulled tight for like 5 mins to lose the memory before he starts fishing. I however use braid and don’t have this problem, this is just what I’ve seen.

Pull it all off and put braid on there.

The trick I use is to never use the reel handle to close the bail after you cast. When you do that, you reel loose line into the spool and it will eventually come off in a mess.
After I cast I flip the bail over work my off hand and the pull the line snug to the spool before I start reeling. It won’t eliminate all wind knots but it’ll cut them way down.
Old line is big contributor to line twist as is stiffer material like flourocarbon.

From the picture, the reel appears to be overspooled with line. Shed some line off and see if that takes care of the issue.

What kind of line is it? I see these types of posts often but I have never had this happen with regular mono or fluoro. How long was the line on since you last used it?

is that cheap line? That always used to happen to me when I kept the pre-spooled garbage line on there. Upgraded to Trilene XL line that was $8/spool instead of $5/spool and never had that issue again. The problem is the line has ‘memory’ and it remembers being coiled around that spool and wants to return to that state.

Take out 1/3 to 1/2 of your line off of there. The excess will spoil off. If you think about it how much line do you ever really use in a cast.
