Help Spooling Spinning Reel!?

[Taylor Peterson]

I need some serious help with spooling my spinning reel. I've been trying to spool the #8 mono that will be backing for my seaguar fluoro. I understand that you want to match the line memory of the spool to the reel. Looking at the reel from the but of the rod(looking at it turned upside down. It turns counter clockwise. So I laid the spool on the floor so that line was coming off counter clockwise but I continue to have the line try to jump off the spool when I flip up the bail. How can I prevent this?also does it even matter if there are twists in the mono when it is only backing. Thanks for any guidance

I spooled seaguar red label fluoro and I've had this problem with 1 of my spinning reels. It was a brand new reel too. I googled and googled but didn't find any information on how to solve this problem. So I decided to look at the manual. Manual says the label of the spool should be facing east and west and the line should be coming off the bottom of the spool.

The rotor should be turning clockwise on a spinning reel, so you want the spool sitting so that the line comes off clockwise as well.

 

I know some people say to set the spool of line into a bath of hot water to soften it up some. Otherwise, it just comes down to it being cheap line with too much memory, or one of the stiffer fluorocarbons (shooter, for instance) that aren't really formulated for spinning reels.

I managed to get the backing on with minimal memory, it was better after I'd gotten a decent amount of line on. Now Im soaking the fluoro for a few hours before I spool it.
