There is a video out there where a guy puts the spool in a pail of warm water. If the line starts to twist the spool turns over. I tried it and it works for me. I always did like the idea of putting mono in warm water before spooling.
something I have doing for years is to put cheap 10 lb.-15 clear line on about 60-70% of my spools first, then, tie on my line of choice.. When ice fishing I never get to the inside of the spool, if you do, the line is so coiled, it is useless.I also use a colored line so I can see if I am getting to the heavy stuff. If I then purchase an expensive line or flouro, on a 100 yd spool, I can do 3 reels, and because of the increased arbor size it stays less coiled. for me, a ice reel could have a larger arbor, and only 30 yd, capacity. I learned years ago when changing my line, prolly 70% of it was never used, and could not have been used as it looks like a slinky. That 10 lb stuff I mentioned has been on each reel for years, You can use heavier, it is just meant to make the arbor circumference bigger. So again, if you spring for an expensive floro, know that you are wasting 60-60% of it, good luck to everybody this year and stay safe
+1 that’s how most of my reels are set up. Where are you finding 100yd spoils of “ice” line? Except with my lake trout setups, I put just enough thick mono on to keep the braid from slipping. I want max line capacity since I’ll be fishing 100-200ft deep and need line for them to peel for the runs.
