So here is my question

I have a new reel(Tarantula STSP2000)  and I tried to put line on it 4 times and it fills the bottom before the top and its loose I don't know what imp doing wrong.

I'm  holding the line as imp spooling it and every time it comes out loose and full at the bottom but not the top.

Can anyone help me?

Does the spool travel? Are you sure its not defective?

When i spool a reel i put the spool of line on the floor put a telephone book in the front of it open the book about 1/4 lay the line between the pages (use your judgement , if it's to tight when you reel don't go so deep in the book) i don't know why but it gets the memory out of the line.

The line manufacturers we deal with (Stren, Gamma, Sufix) don't recommend the phonebook strategy.

Welcome aboard!

I'm not familiar with the reel so I have no suggestions.

Do you know why they say this? I have been doing this, but if there is something detrimental I would like to know if I should stop. Thanks.

I think that means the spool is sitting too high. On the shaft there should be a few washers. Removing one or two will lower the spool and may possibly get you more even spooling. But maybe someone who knows more about it than me can clarify.

As to loose line, you can fill the spool under some tension by running the line between some fingertips as you retrieve. Or you can hit some water, let out the line and retrieve a lure such as a crankbait that offers some resistance to get the desired tension.

as a matter of fact i learned about the phonebook trick from a stren package about 10 years ago.
