Avoid Twists When Putting on New Fishing Line?

For spinning reels, lay the spool down on the ground and lay it so the line comes off the spool counter-clockwise while your reeling the new line onto the reel. Pause for a second and lower your rod tip: if the line lays flat on the ground, then it is going on correctly, if the line starts to twist up, then turn the line spool over and re-spool it again. On baitcast reels, make sure the line is coming off the line spool straight-at-you and begin reeling the line on to your bait cast reel. Always check to see if the line is twisting when you first start to load it onto your spinning reels. If it does, change the direction the line is coming off the spool.
