I happened to see a link to this video on Kiene's fly fishing forum -

He is managing running line on a spey rod on a river. When surf fishing I use a stripping basket, and I often find that my running line knots up the same way he shows. He makes big loops instead of small ones with his thumb. I'm not sure how this would work with a stripping basket though.
How do people handle their running lines, and these pesky little knots ? I have also seen them occur with integrated running lines, so I don't think it's a line memory issue. I always spend a bunch of time working these out of my line. I'm sure it makes for great comedy on the beach
