I was spooling up a spinning reel for ice fishing using my Bass Pro spooling station, and I got tired of it catching on the notch so ended up switching it to baitcaster set up. The line had a lot of memory coming off the spool, but worked OK.

any spinng reel works belive me when spooling line do it like casting reel except gp from bottom I learned it on you tube from shawn grisby , Aron marton kevin short and tried last year with awsome results



Any reel does not work. If it does not have an inline bearing on the bail, you will be putting twist in your line with every crank of the handle. It's the inline bearing that keeps the line from twisting.

Thankfully, all my spinning reels have roller bearings.

Thank you to everyone for the input. As always you are a very helpful (and funny) lot.

or if you keep reeling like a mad man while a fish is peeling drag... say you have a 6:1 ratio reel and you turn the handle once while the drag is beeing pulled you just put 6 twists in the line. bill dance tought me that :p

I learned that from Bill Dance also. Along with stop the line before the lure/bait hits the water, and close the bail by hand.

That Bill Dance is a helpful fellow.

Bill Dance taught me to check for rod tips before closing the tailgate. To make sure the truck is in park. To attach the trolling motor securely. He's wicked smaht
