Never heard of this way recommended for fixed-spool reels. Maybe Shimano
know something we don't....

Wind it on spool to spool, not spilling off the end like a fixed spool.
put the spool on a pencil or something and get someone to hold it for
you
putting slight pressure on the spool as you wind it on.
Shimano recomend loading their fixed spool reels this way.
