I just picked up some Polar Ice 4# line from SW. I want to respool my spinning reel. In the past, I have followed the instructions and laid my spool of new line flat on the floor and cranked it on the reel about 10 times to check if there is line twist - if there looks like twist I turn the spool on the floor over and start again. About half of the time I get the line on the reel without twist by doing this. The other half of the time, I still seem to have twist in the line. It's like a 50/50 chance to get it right and, I don't want to find out on the ice that I did it wrong again.
Maybe, I am not recognizing if I really am getting twist in the line or not. How can I tell if I really am getting twist in the line and what does it look like when the line is twisted after the recommended 10 or so cranks of the reel ? Has anyone figured out a good method that always works or have any techy secrets they could share to help with this ?
