I had really bad line twists in my reels this year. I use bead chains on both sides of my flashers to help minimize line twists from the flasher rotation but I guess it doesn't seem to be working all that well. Are line twists unavoidable when using a flasher and we just have to live with the fact that we need to cut a certain section of line more often to keep the mono fresh? I hear ball bearing swivels are much better. Do you still have line twists using ball bearing swivels? I assume ball bearing swivels need to be lubricated often to keep them working well. Never used ball bearing swivels so not sure if they are much better when used or if its just a marketing scheme.
