Spooling a spinning reel properly is crucial to avoid line twists and tangles while fishing. Here are some best practices to follow: 1. Start by placing the spinning reel on the rod and running the line through the rod guides. 2. Open the bail arm and tie the line to the spool using an arbor knot or any other suitable knot. 3. Close the bail arm and start spooling the line onto the reel. Make sure the line is evenly distributed across the spool to prevent line twists. 4. Apply slight tension on the line as you spool it to ensure it lays evenly on the spool. 5. Leave about 1/8 inch gap from the edge of the spool to prevent overfilling. 6. Finally, trim the excess line, leaving about 1/8 inch tag end. This will prevent slippage. Remember to use the appropriate pound-test line for your target fish species.
