So my fellow Spey casters seem to all agree with what we explained:
- change casting side/casting method in order to make the swirl two different ways (clockwise and counter clock wise);
- one is also suggesting to cast high in the sky as this allow the line to uncoil in the air before landing;
- some suggests (like H.Mortensen) to let go the line in the flow before starting fishing to assist un-twisting.
At last:
- we all really wonder how this could happen when playing a fish... I guess the quality of that particular line might have been affected by something (high temperature, chemicals, or even bad manufacturing, what else?). Consequently, when the tension got high, the core of the line and its external layers did not extent the same way and when getting back to normal condition the two parts did not retract the same.
- I must point at the particular care that is needed to spool a brand new line onto your reel: it must go in the reel as straight as possible, with no angle, no twist. You can to it by uncoiling in line while you retrieve with your reel or you can also spread the whole line on a meadow and spool it gently, passing in through a wet soft fabric to remove the twists.

Backing is like any other line and needs care when winding on.Always load under tension from a fixed spool on a dowel rod or anything similar.I criss cross at regular intervals to avoid it digging in on itself although it is Sprectra type braid which is more likely to do this under pressure and guess here we are talking Dacron 20lb type backing trout fishing.
