This video goes into detail on all of the important parts of the spinning reel spooling process. There are quite a few things that can impact your casting and retrieval when it comes to your spooled spinning reel.

Most of all, be sure to have constant tension on the line (both braided line and mono) while reeling it onto the spool. Without the tension, you'll be at risk of having line issues while casting... aka - wind knots.

As mentioned towards the end of the video, it is great to let your line out while idling forward in your boat and let about 100 to 200 ft of line drag without any lure or knots tied to it. This will help ensure that any twists in the line get straightened out.

But make to watch out for boats (or wave runners) behind you as your fishing line could easily get caught in their prop/intake.
