Line Recommendations

I have been looking with interest at the Cabelas brand lines
specifically the Pro Line. Has anyone used the camo color and or the
root beer? Comments on the quality of the line?

Would appreciate advice on the proper way to spool new line on a
spinning reel. I don't own a line spooler so I will have to do it the
old-fashioned way. I have done some research on the subject and the
latest I found was to place the spool on the floor with the label up.
Crank a few feet onto the reel - if it kinks up, turn the spool over.
Is that correct?

Any help would certainly be appreciated as I am getting ready for hard
water fishing.

Thanks,

Dick
