line
guest3:
Why does my line look like spirals even when it's brand new? Try to keep lubed with magic reel. This includes all line except for braid, usually. Am I putting it on too tight or just crap line? I try to get the best I can on a small budget.

Have Berkeley spooling station. Try to spool about ten turns then check line for twist. If no twist, I'll keep reeling and even pinch line to make sure no twist. I stop at least 1/8 from top edge of spool. Tie on a 1/4 oz. weight and cast. Got spiral. This is on bait casters. Spinning reels , I don't use the station ( just easier). I also like to use barrel swivels mainly for cranks and such just to eliminate twist.
DC Reel Service:
On baitcaster the line should be coming off the top of the line spool....Spool will be going counter clockwise. Spinning gear line should be coming off bottom, spool clockwise.
Somewhat offtopic but line brand could have a lot to do with it. That line spray stuff is nice but not a cure all by any means. I perfer P-Line and McCoy Line. McCoy is basically the same thing as P-Line but half the cost. I get 1000 yard spools for $25 at tackle warehouse.

Just up graded from stren to spider wire and seagur. Haven't had chance to use Seaguar on water yet. Both in mono & flouro.

If I do counter clock wise, line spools from bottom & clock wise from top. Sorry but I am confused. No matter how I turn the spool, it's always clockwise.
