When spooling new line on a spinning reel, I remove the spool from the reel put the right size dowel in my drill push the spool on the dowel and turn on the drill. I spool it a little over the normal 1/8'' from full. I then take and put the spool back on the reel, and the reel on the rod. I then position the rod in such a way that I can grab the end of the line coming out of the top eye and walk across the yard to pull most if not all of the string off of the spool. I return to the rod and reel and commence to winding the line back on by turning the reel handle while holding tightly to the line. This lays the line on the spool correctly, flat and tight. Next ready to fish.
