Fishkiller - do you use a metal rudder? or a plastic? Cabalas only has the plastic type. At last the last time I looked that's the only type that they had. Your explaination about LINE TWIST is interesting. You are relating it to the harness. Sometimes when I'm using a Dippsy Diver, I've found that after having it out there for a while I will go to check it and found that it doesn't release. After a while I'll get it up to the boat and see that it's twisted around itself?? I believe that I let it out slow enough. Do you think that I let it out too far? And that caused the twist? Could it be the currents down there? Maybe the fish are twisting it. They can be playful at times.
