I know that respooling a baitcaster is differant than a spin reel. I have trouble with severe line twist on the spin reel and I suspect that it's because I'm not spooling my line correctly. Can someone help me? Maybe a link to website showing me the correct way to respool my spinner?

Thanks

Place the spool of line on the floor with the label up, and pull some line off the spool so it spirals up. Thread the line through the guides on your rod and tie it to the spool with the bail open. Once you've got the line tied on securely, you are ready to start spooling.

Hold your rod so that the tip of the rod is about three feet above the spool of the line that is on the floor. While you are reeling, keep tension on the line by holding it between your thumb and forefinger in front of the reel. Turn the reel handle just fifteen or twenty times at first, then stop and dip the rod tip to about a foot above the spool of line. If the slack line twists into a tight coil, turn the spool of line over so that the label is face down, and continue reeling until the spool is to within an 1/8 of an inch of the lip of the spool. If the slack line didn't twist when you lowered the rod, just resume reeling. Don't overfill.

Thanks JigNpig! Man, I was doing it all wrong.

Chris, good info jignpig gave you. If you still have trouble after following directions let me know, I'll meet you at the Blue Hole and demonstrate respooling your spinning reel.

We have not seen you in a long time, have you been fishing at Cedar Hill State Park? Caught lots and lots of Bass and Bream last Sunday at the BH, you should meet us there and we can catch some Bass.
