I just spooled up a new Chronarch baitcaster with 50# PP Super 8 Slick line, and as soon as I release the tension on the line it starts to spring off the spool in loose coils?

 

I've never had this problem before, and I've never used this line before. But I've not had this problem with other braids, and I've used several makes, mostly Suffix.

 

Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here?  Is it the line that's causing the problem, or my spooling technique?

 

 

How did you spool the line on?

How did you spool the line on?

 

Same way I always do. Run the line spool around a pencil clamped in the vice. Use a handfull of paper towel to provide tension; and just wind it on fairly tight.  Never had a problem using this method.

Now just tie it to a tree and take out about a casts worth and wet the line with water as you spool on under tention. Super Slick does spool up different till its wore in a little IMO.
