I did not read all the posts but if using a level wind reel same direction the reel winds the same way the line should come off the spool...ie...the pencil way. If you have a spinning reel u will want to place the spool of line flat on the floor and thread through the closest eye to reel and tie to reel, once u begin to load the reel pay close attention to line twist, if u start to develope a twist turn the spool on the floor over, then load the reel to within 1/8 inch of capacity. Good luck, and keep fishing<br><br><br>
