Putting on new line the right way first time

[Mike Bossy]

Hope someone can help me, am a big fan of Super Silver Thread line, but can't have it spooled on my reels in bulk at a fishing store, thus have to do it myself at home, with mixed results, anybody have a quick easy way to tell me how to set up the spool and my reel so i get it on right the first time so when i'm fishing it doesn't all run off in slinky piles the first few times out,

thanx

in the box it shows how to spool .. spinning reel ,lay flat advertising side up .crank on a bout 20ft ,lay line down ,should be limp .if not flip spool over and crank it on .

One thing I do that helps is to soak the entire spool in a sink filled with warm water and covered with a heavy object like a brick(to prevent it from floating up). A half hour later, it's amazing how smoothly the line loads on the reel.Makes it very limp and avoids annoying twists in the line while trying to spool.... and no re-dos!!!! Hope this helps.

If I have already spooled the line onto the spool, can i still soak that in the hot water to get rid of memory and twists? I've heard adding a few drops of vegetable oil also helps. Thanks
