Hi guys

My first topic 😎

I've found such different ways to spool Gardner GT HD on reels :
-spool with label facing up
-label facing down
-spinning spool with a pen or a screwdriver in the middle to keep it straight

Every year I use to prefer the pen method after 24h soaking on warm water but GT-HD seems a bit special 🤔

Any thoughts ?

Hey Daz

Thx for your reply
It was 10 years ago, still the right method ?

So they are saying we don't know , check it for yourself. Probably the best advice you'll ever get. Good old Gardner.

I spooled up 3 reels weeks back, spool facing up (weighted down), in a small bucket of water.
Happy to say, 4 day sessions in, and I'm V pleased, no coiling and casts well.

Got to be the worst advice ever.
Try this, if that doesnt work then do the opposite... 😜💩

I'll second this. Works every time with GT-HD

I tried the method in post #2 with Shimano Technium and it was a disaster. I ended up taking it off, replacing with new stuff and used this method LINKY POO™ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjbEy9xNWJk
No more problems😀

I'm sure someone will come up with a theory to say otherwise but I can't see there being a difference between different brands of line

You’d think by now there would be a recognised industry standard for this 🤔

Edit - I also use this mono as of this year. I spooled up with the factory spool on its side (not face up or face down) and did have some line twist.

Excellent contribution👍

Hi there

I did line change this afternoon with the label up method
I can confirm that was smooth with 0 line twist as many already said




Thanks all for your advices 🙏🤝

When I spool nylon or fluoro the line has to come counter clockwise. For most brands that is with the label up!
