I used to do this, but it works better if you fill the reel using the pencil/chopstick method, with the line coming off the bottom of the filler spool. Much less twist this way. For the OP, if you need more than 8# line on your spinner, you will have better luck with braided line, Like Power Pro. 15-20# works great on 1500 to 3000 size reels. He used a line winder of sorts I guess is what you call it. All I know is that with the new line, it will constantly loop off every time I cast. I will try the Yo-Zuri Hybrid and see how that works....and we shouldn't use one of those contraptions right? I've never seen him use it before he usually just leaves the spool on the floor then has one of the kids run it out to rewind it if that makes sense. I really don't know what I'm talking about but I'm learning lol. ;D

I'm new to Forums altogether but I've already found an answer to one of my many questions. This site looks very promising for me as I'm looking to become one of the best bass fisherwomen out there ;D. I grew up fishing the rivers and lakes of middle Georgia with my dad and our crickets, minnows, and worms. Not until I started dating my boyfriend had I ever fished for bass. I'm still getting the hang of not using live bait. He fishes tournaments with the BFL as well as our local Bass club in Rock Hill, Sc so I'm all about learning what I can before the upcoming couples tournaments. Gotta get the hang of using those baitcasters too. Those are pretty fun if you ask me. Nice to meet you all and happy fishing!!

Hi...I'm new to the Forum thing but hopefully you guys can help me out. I found this site after googling the initial question to this thread after fighting with the line on my spinning reels all day yesterday. I spent more time straightening it out than I did with my lure in the water. Grr. Can someone be specific when it comes to the best line for the spinning reels? I'm trying to learn lbs and reel sizes and such so go easy on me . Hopefully not too many of you will laugh but my boyfriend is being quite patient. This problem has him stumped as well because he prefers the baitcasting reels (which I just learned how to use yesterday woo hoo with only a couple of backlashes). I still need a good line that won't wrap around itself for my spinning reels because I am only comfortable at this point making long casts with the baitcaster. I still need my spinning reels for dock fishing and aiming and such until I get better with the other. Sorry this is so long and thanks in advance.
