A trick my dad taught me is when you get one like that, hold your thumb down hard as you can pushing down on the line, then crank it in a bit, then try to peel a lil bit off, then repeat with the thumb, as you have to tighten the line underneath to keep it from tangling worse. He usually gets rats nests cleared out in 5 to 10 min max.
