Tight Lines

Jeremy87, I think you'd better elaborate on what you said here. I see no problem spooling mono on to threadline reels by sticking a rod through the spool of line. There is no twist in the line on the spool and that is how you want it to be when it comes off the reel.

I have also found that trying to spool mono on a threadline with line coming off the spool with a "pencil like device" (spool turning around) results in a lot of line twist and a lot of problems later.
What I do is still use a fixing device but have the line go off the spool like a lone would go off the threadline that is spool fixed and not turning line coming out off the side in coils. This reduces the problem but some twist is still generated due to differnce is spool diameters between the reel and filler spool. This issue I solve by turning the filler spool over to have the line go over the other side. When it starts twisting turn it over again.
The other way is to put the reel spool on a lathe, run the line through a wet towel fixed in a vice to ensure some tension, the filler spool rotates around the "pencil" and no twist whatsoever is transferred on the reel line.
(I use a piece of wire with an eye at the end to lay line evenly on the reel spool).
BTW this is the best way to spool braid on e threadline as you can spool it really tight.
well, well, well there you go, that is the first time of heard of this. I havn't had trouble with the line twisting, by using the ol pencil trick with slightly applied pressure. Who says you don't learn something new everydayWell if i get in the mood i might try it your way szopen.. one day
Schneider good for main line and paternoster rigs.
Shogun good for trace and floating
