Luke, by "swirly" I am assuming you mean that it is loose on the reel or comes off in "loops" when you cast. Which type of reel are you having this problem with? For a baitcasting reel, make sure the line goes on the reel opposite of how it comes off the spool, kind of like a chain on a bycycle, for the spinning reels, lay the spool on the floor and turn the reel handle a few turns, if it loops up before going on the reel, turn the spool over and see how that works. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Luke,
Good advice from Bryan. I also use a product from Blakemore called Reel Magic, it's aspecially designed lubricant for fishing line and rod guides. It's sold almost everywhere and really works. Not a commercial, just trying to hel;p. Johnnie

It still swirled, but i believe its the line that i'am using. I was using that remington mono. I beleive thats the prob. And it was doing it for both baitcaster and spinning. Thanks for the info.... good luck on the water..
