[QUOTE="Mattman, post: 1452, member: 23"] I don't know... I don't lay my spool down. I put it under tension and reel up my line from the top of the spool. Spinning or baitcasting. I mount my spool of superline on a carrige bolt, reel up the entire spool of superline under tension, tie on some mono (for backing) and fill my reel full. Then I chuck up an empty spool in my cordless drill and zip the line off my reel and onto the spool. Mount that spool up, chuck up another old spool, and zip my line onto that one. Now the line is reversed. Mount that spool up, and reel the whole works onto my reel. Now I've got a perfectly filled reel, mono on the bottom, superline on the top, no twist, and have more than enough line to last for several years. And when that gets low, just add a little more backing. When the time comes that you make a long cast and can start to see your backing on the reel, its time to think about redoing the entire works. I have yet to complain about twisting line. I have yet to run low on superline in only a years worth of time. I can't imagine going back to messing around with laying my spools on the floor every year. [/QUOTE]
