Thanks Gerry
@bren my eyes aren't the best looking at your link i think the way he loads label down has the line coming off the spool anticlockwise ? Maybe someone else can check that?
The two spools i have here of esp syncro xt the line exits anticlockwise with the label up, your link is from 2013 and of the old design spool im wondering if its possible that they were spooled differently then?
Thanks Gerry

Put the line spool in a bucket of warm water wind onto reel on the butt section, and go slowly.
It is how I have loaded line for 30years with no problems.

Nick so your letting it spin anywhere it wants to in the bucket?

It spins very slowly as I reel on slowly getting the line tight on the reel.
It usually comes off the top label side of the spool. The label traps air in the spool, so it sits upright.

You can find out yourself on what the orientation of the line Spool for a given line should be....
Reel a few yards of line on, then stop and peel the line off your Reel spool.
Grab hold of 60 cm and push your hands together. If it twists badly then you've done it the wrong way - turn the spool over, or upright till you get it the right way.

Thanks for reply nick , with the gardner pro that would be anticlockwise, i remember talking to lewis just after pro and gthd were released he said one was better anticlockwise and one with spool spinning like the link gerry put up. trouble is i couldn't remember which one was what.
@Danny thats a good tip as different lines may be spooled differently

That's based on what I've used for 40 odd years for mono and braid from 4lb to 15lb, its easy enough to make your own for a few pence, as all you need is-
M6 Bolt about 5” long, 3 x 6mm Penny washers, Nylock M6 Nut and a light compression spring. Position Penny a washer each side of the Spool with the Bolt as the spindle, spring on one side and then another Penny washer and then the M6 Nut you adjust /set the brake tension onto the Spool. Just lock the bolt once assembled in-between two open vice Jaws.
You just set the tension so the spool spins but does not over-run at all; using this method the line is spooled onto the Reels spool under exactly the same tension from start to finish, regardless of how much lighter the Spool becomes as line is removed.
