Is there a way to spoil a reel alone or do I need someone to help me? I've just bought some Shimano Technium mainline and want to put it on my reel ready to go fishing in Saturday for the first time this year...

I can put a pencil through the spool holes and grip it in between my feet
It does burn though lol
Failing that you can get a spooling device to help with suction cups on it.
Can put the spool in. A bowl of water and let it turn whilst you are winding

I've got a Tuppaware pot that holds a bulk spool perfectly. Fill with warm water, let it soak for a while and then spool on through fairly firm forefinger and thumb. The water helps stop your fingies burning.

I found that reeling it in so the spool rotates in a bucket of water creates less twist as that is the way it is loaded on at the factory.

This is how I do it with mono, that's a cut down milk carton BTW, would have had more water in to start with as well

Strange, I always load mine reel with the spool end up coming off anticlockwise so it equals and removes the twist direction of the rotor. Always had huge line twist loading from a spinning spool. I know it has been loaded on the factory like that but unless you are using a centre pin reel that would load the same as it went on and is coming off surly it would create a twist if you have a straight direct feed of line being pulled by a rotating force.

I've done it both ways in the past but settled on this method and never had a problem

Been using the same method as chuffy since I was shown it as a kid a very long time ago. Never had a problem

I believe that lines can be loaded at the factory using different methods (oscillating and radially). This will mean the method for loading your spool is different depending on thee brand.
The key is to check for twisting as you're spooling up.

This any good for re spoiling?

Is there really a need to soak the spool if using mono? I can understand the need if using braid, but I have loaded many reels over the past 30 years dry for all aspects of fishing and never had a problem with line twist or coils bedding into themselves....
