Warm Water
Always prior to spooling up with mono, leave your line submerged in a bucket of warm water. This will allow the water to soak into the line helping not only when you come to wind the line on but also allowing the line to bed down property on your spool.

Can you put braid directly on a reel?
The process of spooling up with braid is pretty much the same as spooling up with any other line type. Simply tie it to your spool as you would mono. Many anglers will use a mono backing. This means they will fill up to a third of their spool with mono, then the next two-thirds with braid.
How do you prevent fishing line twist?
Manually Close the Bail of Your Spinning Reel
The first tactic is to manually close the bail after every cast; a quick slap is all that’s necessary to do so and reduce initial line twist. Once the bail has been manually closed, pull the line tight (from the spool forward), then wind on a few feet under pressure.

What causes fishing line to twist?
So how does line-twist form? It is really quite simple. If the end of the line – the bait, lure or fly end – can rotate around its own axis, line-twist will work its way up the line. The more line out from the reel the further the twist will work its way up the line.
How do you stop a line twist with a spinner?
All you have to do is think clockwise and counterclockwise. If you hold the rod in your hand and look down at the reel, you’ll notice that when you turn the handle the spool rotates clockwise. Set the filler spool so the line comes off counterclockwise as you look at it. That’s all there is to it.
Should fishing line come off clockwise or counterclockwise?
Cut off your tag end with a pair of scissors. Step 2: With the spool of line on the floor, be sure that the line is coming off of the spool counterclockwise (usually brand facing up). Since spinning reels turn clockwise, this will help you to avoid a line twist.
Should I use a swivel with a spinner?
Many spinner fishermen prefer fishing with a snap swivel. The only advantage to this is it allows them to change lures quickly. We do not recommend attaching a spinner directly to a swivel. Most fishermen use a swivel that is way too big and this can interfere with the action of the lure.
Do you spool a spinning reel clockwise or counterclockwise?
Line is usually, though not always, spooled on a spinning reel in a clockwise direction. The direction in which your reel winds line is easy to determine. Merely look at the front of the reel as you turn the reel’s handle. Observe the direction the bail arm turns.

Why does my line go under the spool?
There’s five main reasons that we’ll get into in some detail: you put too much or too heavy of line on your spool, the fishing line formed memory and coiled up, there was too much slack in your fishing line, you closed the bail with your reel instead of manually, or your lure started to spin.
A preference for me would be to place about 50-75 yards of Dacron line on each spool of my tip-ups. Considering that this is 150-225 feet of line, it will suffice for most fishing conditions apart from perhaps fishing for lake trout and water depths of 60-80 feet.
Why is my reel not spooling evenly?
The great news is that there is a simple solution when you notice your braided line not being evenly distributed on the spool.
