Is this overspooled?

no, neither is this

 

[Ski]

Nope.

 

[Skunkmaster-k]

Perfect

If it flies off the spool and knots up, then yes. I think you're golden judging by the picture though.

Looks good to me.

That is why I dislike spinning reels.  If I fill mine up that far, the line starts jumping off the spool after a few casts.

What line?  I would expect you could run 8lb Sufix 832 or PP up to the very edge with no problem.  20lb Big Game not so much.

10lb. fluorocarbon, or mono.  It even happens when I drop down to 8lb. but not as much. Before you ask, yes it's spooled correctly. I think it's because the line is looser on the spool after a few casts vs. when I spool it.

I feel your pain. My spinning reels get no heavier than 8lb or 6lb Trilene XL or Sufix Elite. Most of them have 8lb or 10lb Sufix 832.

if you've never tried manual bail technique, you should eliminate that problem.  

Keep your free hand close to the bail, even feather the line with your fingertips (like thumbing a baitcaster).  Close the bail with that free hand (never crank auto-close); turn with the rod to take up all slack before you begin retrieve.  

Wind knots are caused by loose line at the beginning of your retrieve.  

I spool braid to this extreme and have never cast a wind knot:

I guess a lot of it is what you're use to. Last year I had 10# YZH (12# mono diameter) on my Trion-35 and had no issues. This year I'll have 10# Advance Mono on a President XT-30 and 12# InvizX on the T-35...I've already spooled them up and so far they're behaving themselves.

 

Course I use KVD L&L without fail on any non-braid line...that could be part of it.

Looks good. if you start having issues strip some line off. Slack line techniques can cause the line to bunch at the bottom of the spool so pay attention

Exactly this. I mean, from the picture it looks good and I'm guessing it's 10-20# braid.

Not just spinning. I just cut $10 of fresh Tatsu off one of my bait casters when the line just exploded out of it when the line went slack. However, you do tend to see this much more with spinning.

I always start overspooled and work my way down to what works best for the reel.

you see this much more with Tatsu (and other low memory fluorocarbons).  

Everyone posts that Tatsu is limp, but it's quite opposite - it's stiff and springy, and is going to be worse in larger diameters.  

Tatsu, Blue, both 10-lb, and 20-lb braid - taped down and held vertically

You could have added a bit more. If wanted to go through the hassle you could take that line off add some cheap mono backing then put that line back on to get the spool filled. But no biggie really.
