great answer (2nd is best)...one little tip neither one mentioned - when you start spooling the line onto your reel, crank the handle around 5 or 6 times while keeping firm pressure on the line, then release the line - if the line coils off your real, stop and turn the spool of line that's laying on the floor over before you continue to spool line onto the reel; if when you stop spooling the line the line doesn't coil off the reel, then just continue spooling line onto the reel until you're approximately 1/8" from the outside edge of the spool. Overfilling a reel isn't good.
This little tip will eliminate problems 90% of the time.
