Maybe try to pick up as much slack from the leadcore as you can without releasing it. Sometimes I pinch the leadcore almost as deep as I can in the release so that I can pick up the slack and not release it. When a fish hits you should know as the release will be bouncing or dragging back a lot further then normal, this is if the leadcore doesn't come out right away. So just grab the rod and give it a pull (I sort of whip the line out of the release) and you should be set to bring one in.
I have had to do some trial and error due to similar problems but this worked best for me.
you have to get your release clip and lead line away from the tow line. take your ring that goes around the tow line and disconnect the actual clip from it. now tie in 2-3 feet of 80 pound mono and then tie the clip on the end of the mono. Now your lead line will be far away and never touch the tow line and you will have no more wrapping.
