Loading line onto reels

Chap on tv had the spool in a bucket of water, but I wasn't paying attention
so no mere info.

Cheers Mate,

That was the low cost solution I was looking for!

Many thanks

I have no spool holders to
attatch to my rod and just wondered what is the best way to load up my
spools with new line?

I've always done it the same way.

Tie the line to the reel. Chuck the spool on the floor, sit on the sofa
with the reel put the line between my knees to keep it taught and then
wind
in steadily.

The line being run between your closed knees gives enough tension on the
line to make sure it goes on evenly.

Never let me down in 25 yrs - more than i can say for my knees!!
