I use powerpro on all my gear. I have a problem with the power pro twisting arounf my leader when drifting for flounder. I use a fish finder rig or a triple swivel with a 50 lb leader. I founf that if I connect a snap swivel to the leader of the hook it helps reduce the tangling a little. Any suggestions?

Does it start twisting right away or after you been fishing it a while. I throw an extra barrel swivel in if I see things getting twisted or I put on a new rig as well as making sure all my sinkers have swivels.

It depends, sometimes it happens quickly sometimes it takes some time.

This usually only happens to me on two occasions 1) I have used the rig all day, or 2) If I am going a bit fast. Again, I like to add extra barrel swivels up on my terminal tackle (away from lure/hook). I know it costs more but buy the ones that are made for salt water and they seem to work better.

Are you hooking the fish on the Dorsal area,that causes them to helicopter and twist the line. Try hooking the baitfish through the mouth then it wont spin. Are you useing a spinner blade on your rig they can also cause twist if the clevis is binding up on the line. The fishfinder rig sounds like the problem try useing a 3 way instead. I had the same problem while Drum fishing the fish finder rig had grooves cut into it after a few fish.

If using a fishfinder with live bait, try pulling some line free (5-10 ft) and lowring the rig slowly. It give the fish a chance to swim away for a little bit. Either way, let it down SLOWLY if you suspect it is helicoptering down. Even with mono and a three way, if I am getting a wrap, I will re-rig my squid to reduce the spin and let it down SLOW. Hope this helps.

Like Brett said, letting it down slowly will help. I use all PoperPro on my rigs, too. Try adding about a 6 foot length of mono leader to your braided line and then tie on your 3-way swivel or fishfinder rig. This way if the rig gets wrapped, it should slide of the mono.

Good Luck!
