Mat couldn't be more correct. This months tip is about casting and retrieving. Observe your spoon and look for the seductive side to side wobble and keep that speed. The 1 ball bearing swivel will help a lot.

This subject, that is preventing line twist when trolling with spoons, has been brought up before and I believe it was Old Salt who gave the very best advice of all on the subject of trolling with spoons and preventing line twist. His advice is to use 2 ball bearing swivels between a piece of leader line (or wire). In other words......One ball bearing swivel at the lure and another 12" or so above it. This will certainly eliminate what could be a huge problem (thanks to Mat for pointing it out) especially when you consider most of us don't have access to replacement line very easily.

In this months tip I purposely forego the swivel at the lure and focus on a more natural presentation. If you take some care not to bring the lure through the water spinning you should have only moderate difficulties with line twist and that only after several hours. To remedy it just let the line out behind the boat a long way and paddle for 1/2 hour os so with no lure attached.
