This usually happens from line twist.
Put one finger on the spool and strip the line out til you’re at the loop.
Carefully, and slowly reel it back in. Stop when the line bunches up and lick it apart.
Or just bomb a super far cast so it cast out the loop.

There is like 6 yards of line left. Remove it and spool a new line.

Go to a local tackle shop and have them spool your reel with quality new line. It’s not expensive at all.
What you’re looking at happens when cheap or old mono line keeps the memory of the reel so when you cast it, it try’s to twist up on its self.

first look i would say make sure when reeling in that your line is tight. should have at least a little tension so you don’t wind up loose line. new line can help with twisting but main issue i see is you reeling in without any tension. if you let out to much slack. hold the line when reeling till bait/weight takes over

Probably you should check out google but I wish I add an idea

Line twisting or reeling in loose line forms these loops and coils that get worse every time you cast and retrieve. If you aren’t dragging a fish or a heavy lure, pull your line tighter to snug it up.
This can also be very stiff line with a lot of memory, like 15 lb mono on an ultralight rod.

Line twists like this are caused by line memory (curls formed around the shape of the spool) or twists caused by lures like spoons or in-line spinners.
If your line has memory, it’s time to replace it. If it has line twists you can tie a barrel swivel on the end of your line and then tie the other side of the barrel swivel off to something stationary. Walk your line out slowly then reel it back onto your spool. The swivel will allow your line to rotate as you respool and remove the twists.
You can also tie the swivel onto a heavy weight and cast it out and reel it back in but this doesn’t always remove the twists.
It also looks like the line on your spool is low so probably time to respool with fresh line anyway.

1. Research how to properly spool new line.
2. After each cast, raise tip of the pole to ensure line is tight before reeling.
These are the 2 main issues. Borh are simple and will become 2nd in no time.
