Fishing line

[davetclown]

there are three ways to spool you line.

the right way

steight on

and the wrong way.

right way,
If you are going streight spool to spool, you want the line to come off the top.

If you are realing it on the reel using your rod, just thread the line tough the rod and set the stock reel any where it can spin freely, you wont have any problems with line twist.

now if you are using an assisted spool holder on the end of your rod to spool your line, it dose make a differance as to how the line comes off the spool, [ul] [li]since this holds the stock spool on sideways you have to match the curl of the line, meaning when the line comes off of the stock spool it should be coming off counter clockwise, if it comes off clockwise you will be creating line twist..[/li][/ul]
should you get line twist the best thing to do is let the line float down the river with no weight on it and then reel it back in. that will get rid of the twist.

you can develop line twist from casting and retreiving and from trolling. As well as battaling a big fish.
