You might try this if you don't want to re-spool:

Pop the spool off of the reel. Boil some water. After it reaches the boiling point, turn off the burner, and let it cool for a few minutes. Now throw the spool into the water, and leave it in until the water cools. This should aleviate some of the stiffness and coil memory. smile
