I just respooled my pole I use for plastic baits. I found this on another message board. I really didn't get the name of the site I just copied this,
I would imagine this would also work with bait caster reels as well?
What's some other tips?

To avoid twisting the line while re-spooling a spinning reel it is important to make sure the spool is vertical (label either facing either up or down) and not horizontal (label facing one of the walls).
I just lay the spool flat on the ground and put an 8 oz eg sinker in the middle to keep it from bouncing around. Put a few turns on the reel and then pull some line off the spool and let it go slack. If the line tangles, you have the spool upside down so flip it over and finish up. I use my free hand to put tension on the line.
Also, don't overfill the spool--that is just asking for tangles.
