Saintly Fish Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Is there a hard and fast technique for doing this? Ie does the line have to go from spool to reel in a particular direction, and i mean the direction it leaves the spool not the direction you turn the handle to fill the reel. My line always seems to be a bit twisted, not a problem when a lead is on it, but can be a pain when tying knots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was always told if ther is a peg on the back of the spool then it comes off the front, otherwise it comes off as normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've never had an issue with either mono or braid on a FS. FFS, if an eleven year old me can do it back in the day with no issues, how are you managing to balls it up as a fully grown adult? jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Do it the same as a multi, I do all my spin reels this way with braid or mono, no twisting and no issues at all. I do use a bee's knee's line loader to apply the exact tension I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 What line is it? What reel is it? Have you checked the line roller is turning freely? One of my shimanos had a seized roller and had no end of line twist issues. Replaced the bearing and was as you'd expect from shimano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 i leave the spool loose in a washing up tub, stand over it, add tension to the line with my finger and thumb and wind on - the spool does its little dance in the tub without rolling around the floor and it seems to untwist itself as it goes! suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the same using a bucket. Just don't wind too fast or the spool bounces out and races around on the floor 🤣 suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
