The line has gone into memory mode, you may be able to stretch it out and get rid of the memory. If not it's hands into pockets.

If you have a spare spool wind the line on to it,this will reverse the way it comes off the first reel.

Take the rod and line to field and cast it out a few times with just a small weight to see if you can sort it that way.It may allow it to untwist.

Try winding the line from your reel onto an empty spool(an old one that the line comes on from the shop)Once on the old spool rewind it back on to your reel using thumb pressure on the spool(pencil through middle of spool) Or as I do run the line from the spool through the middle pages of a heavy book...This tensions the line as it goes back on your reel...Should stretch the line a bit and counter any memory loss the line has suffered...Also try and fill the reel right up to the lip avoiding over filling...The reel should have an indication of line capacity printed on it somewhere...

Sometimes hard to judge...But an under/over filled reel can cause the problems your describing...
