I picked up a lightly used Carron 65 Next Generation. Line is in good shape, but it was wound in small coils and twisted. Not sure how long it was stored like that in the tin, but when I went to use it today, the coils were a problem. I tried to get as many coils out when I spooled it. Worked more out on the water today, and I have most of the coils out of the head. The running line still has about 40-50% of the coils left, and is a harder, stiffer material than the supple head. Most of the coiling/twists that are left seem to be from memory of the plastic. I can actually see twists in the color at the transition of the head to running line.

Sooo, has anyone put a Carron in warm/hot water to relieve memory coils(thinking of doing just the running line). I've read that Carron lines are softer and somewhat delicate. I don't want to screw up this very nice casting line. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
