I put new line on my spin cast reel and the line keeps wanting to curl off the spool. 6lb test. Did I put it on wrong or what. The new line is not that old.

The curling line has "memory", meaning that the curl is from the line being wrapped around the spool. Some lines are more limp than others and don't have this problem quit so bad. Take the end of your line and attach it to something to hold it in place, you can even have someone hold it. Now open the bail and walk out as far as you can normally cast. Close the bail and keep walking so the line is being stretched. Obviously, you don't want to stretch it to the breaking point but enough to pull some of the memory out. Now reel the line back up and it shouldn't be so bad. It might still coil a little from being on the reel but the more you use it the better it will get. And next time, buy one of the line that have less memory - it should be advertised as such on the box.

The pencil through the spool thing is for casting reels. DO NOT do this with a spinning reel, it will cause it to tangle every time. The correct way is to lay the filler spool on the floor in front of you, making sure the line comes off it in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction. If it starts coming off in the wrong direction, simply turn the spool over. Keep tension on the line with your fingers as you wind it onto the spool. I've noticed that certain types of line tend to tangle worse than others. A limp monofilament, such as Berkley Trilene XL, tends to have very low "memory" and therefore tends to cast much better on spinning reels. Don't even think about something like fluorocarbon for a main line, it's horrible. The advice on not overfilling the spool is correct. Of all the spinning reels I've owned, and I've owned many, only two ever gave me a line twist problem. They were both the same brand, which is another name for the top of a mountain.

On the spin cast like a spinnin' reel (only difference between the two is that a spinnin' rig has and open face w/ a bail and spin cast is a closed face with cap or hood) a lot of times this happens when to much line is put on. Strip some line off so bulk of line is about 1/4 of an inch from outer edge of spool itself and you'll probably solve the problem ;). "Fish On"...

If you are fishing with lures you have overspooled your reel. For lures Berkeley or Triline is the best lines, for bottom fishing, Ande is the best. If you spool with Ande you won't get that curl because Ande line only has a little stretch, which is not good for fishing with lures but great for fishing with sinkers.

it will do that if you put to much line on the reel. do what i do and that is go to a park and tie your line to a tree and then backing up let line out until no line left on your reel,as you walk forward start reeling in your line and this will tighten it up.

Next time get PowerPro or any other version of braided line. You won't go back to mono.
