How do I keep the twist out of my line that results from pulling worm harnesses with snap weights???

Are you using a swivel at the end of your harness, where it connects to the main line?
A good quality swivel will take care of that problem.

High quality ball bearing crosslock swivels
Need: To get the twist out of the line, while running at 15/20 mph, let the line out off the reel behind the boat, with nothing on the line, for a couple of minutes and reel it up again. "Presto" the twists are gone. Works on all strengths of line. Good LUCK UNTWISTING....Kaz

The other responses have it correct. Use a good quality BALL BEARING crosslock snap swivel.
Yes, they cost about a dollar each for the good ones, but they're absolutely the answer to your problem.
Walk softly and carry a big fish.

you can also put a smaller version of lake trolls rudder we use smaller lake trolls here in Sweden for fishing arctic char .....

I use the clear plastic keel made by Luhr Jensen alnog with the ball bearing swivels. It also keeps my partners from windint the fish to the rod tip :-)
