Good point, Coot. I switched to Fireline a couple years ago during a trip up way north chasing big nates with hardware on spinning gear because I got sick of the line twist from mono. I haven't had the Fireline twist up on me like mono at all and I run it straight to the spinner/spoon with no swivel. Yes, the ends do get frayed a bit but sharp sicsors take care of that. Never lost a big one on it either.
