Might be worth taking a bit off and using one of those first it may help it settle better or maybe just whacking out some leads into the lake I usually find this helps them settle down , I got some Korda carpline in 12lb that needed a couple of longish casts to settle down on my reels but now I am starting to quite like it, it was recommended as the best of the cheaper lines in the shop, I need some heavier line and I am thinking of trying Korda subline for that, as much as I want to not like Korda they do some good bits in my opinion, I also liked the Terry Eustace pro clear line though that was my go to line in the olden days, It's not twist as such, it's just spilling off the spools (which would normally indicate over filling)

China is the undisputed manufacturing hub , producing the vast majority of hooks globally

The design reflects a shore-operated lift net system, adapted to local tidal conditions and later integrated into the everyday fishing practices of Kochis coastal communities

The standard paddle was too short and not wide enough

Normally, that rig above will overhand cast the 2-g jighead in my first photo to about 100', but the rod is not rated that light - it's actually rated 5 g at the low end, but it comes alive at 3 g
