This year switched to power pro line. I have had greater success on the hook set than ever before ,but I am having one small problem.After a month of use the line turn on the stationary spool. This is on a spiining reel. Maybe its the attatching knot ?????

Mono backing is the key as noted above. Also, if you can start at a place in your back yard, in a park, whatever, and unspool the line as you walk; making sure there are no knots.
Then, put a finger grip on the line,(no lure), and reel it in. This will get rid of curlies. Or troll the line (no lure) out behind a boat and do the reel in thing............watch out for the prop.
Having your drag set a bit tighter, so the drag is not clicking when your reeling helps a lot..........;fish pulls, don't reel.etc.
Hope this helps............I still get curlies., everyone does. Just helps to know how to correct it.

Problem solving
Use a little bit of mono filament for a backing maybe 10 feet is all you need. To prevent these little curlies in the line let it out on the water with no lure on and just troll behind boat for a few minutes. The water will get rid of all the twists which you have accumulated. One day of walleye fishing with a jig and minnow can sure wreak havoc with your line as far as twists go. Tie on a small swivel and then tie on a short mono leader and then your Hook, lure or whatever you are using for terminal tackle. This will save you the headache of having a birdsnest come out on your spinning reel and save you some donaros not having to keep buying new line.
