[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 12814, member: 123"] The first thing I do (if it's a brand new spool of line out of the box) is to get a bowl of warm, not hot, water and drop the entire spool in it for a few minutes. The purpose being to "remove" some of the memory from it. I've tried new spools before without doing the warm water thing and noticed some memory after spooling it on the reel. When spooling it on to the reel, I put the spool on a pencil taped between two chair backs, and sit across the room and keep tension on the line with my finger. The chair backs are also pushed against the spool slightly so that it doesn't spin too freely. I have the line coming off the top of the spool onto the reel. [/QUOTE]
