RE: Newbie Kinda
There is in fact a trick to puting the line on so that you dont put a whole ton of twist in it... and the trick is to lay the spool on the ground so that the line is coming off the spool the same direction that it is going on the reel... so when looking from behind, holding the reel normally, the bail on the reel will be spinning counter clockwise, looking at the spool of line, wherever it is set, the line should be coming off of that counter clockwise as well... of course like I mentioned eariler, taking your spool to a sporting goods store and having them do it is by far the best option... and really doesnt cost anymore... the cost of the line per yard works out to be approx. the same. but you only put on what you need instead of buying a 330 yard spool and only using half of it, so it ends up cheeper overall.
As for how to rig the night crawler.. I still need more info there... what are you fishing for exactly?? and in what situation?? shore? boat? lake? river? creek?
