Two thoughts on twist. I used to have a lot of problems with twist on my spinning reels until I started buying Daiwa spinning reels. They have a feature call "twist buster" that I was skeptical about at first but after fishing with a buddy of mine using the same lures, same line, same techniques and seeing him not have any loops and having my line more like a slinky it started to sink in. I now have about 10 Daiwas with twist bust and get very few loops no matter what lures or techniques I fish.

Beyond that line has a lot to do with twist. I buy my line in bulk spools and have noted that the line towards the end of the bulk spool tends to have more kink and twist. Sometimes I simply don't use that last bit of line when it gets like that.
