Thanks for your responses guys. Davy, I have tried all of your suggestions before writing the question, except for the towel on the deck of the boat. I have stripped off all the line down stream, respooled it, stretched it, stacked it as careful as possible on the deck of the boat, but it still maintains those tight coils the size of the reel spool. This is a brand new line. The runing line on the SA Streamer Express feels hard and brittle which you would think would not coil. I am thinking about the Teeny Chuck & Duck line but I want to talk with them about the running line on that line and how it reacts to cold water and temps. I have several other SA wet tip lines and the running line on those is soft and pliable and rarely tangle. I am also calling SA tomorrow and discuss the situation with them.
