Plane cxx filler spool problems

A few years ago I started spolling my spinning reels the proper way. Line coming off the filler spool counter clockwise, goes on the reel spool with no line twist.
Well the pline cxx spools have a catch groove for clipping you line into to keep it from unraveling for storage.
Well the notch is on the back side of the spool. They have there line spolled on clockwise, label up and that line keeper is on the back.
So when I flip the spool over to have the line coming off counter clockwise when spolling my spinning reel properly it catches constantly and makes it absolutely miserable to spool my reel. Last few spools I got have been like this.
Any of you guys noticed this?

Yep! took a screw and a washer and screwed that sucker to the table!!!!!!

Put the spool down about 5' past your rod with the cut for the line catch facing you. That'll help. There's another that always catches me and I cant think what it is, suffix maybe? One of them kept catching mine line so I screwed that sucker down to the workbench with a 4" deck screw and a washer.

Yep, that's the way I do it except I soak mine in water for 4 or 5 days. That's also the way Richard Gene does it also. Never had a problem with line twist.

Catching on something like that cause a nick in the line maybe? I’m thinking a small piece of scotch tape over the notch and slow down just a smidge to give the line time to come past it. Best I can figure. Never dealt with it.

Tape the notch.

I used to always spool my reels like the video. I have had I think but a 50/50 chance. Sometimes I got lucky.
Since I started doing it the way I stated I have had no troubles. Be sure to close the bail with your hand not reel handle and try best not to reel against the drag. Those two help after you get it on there right in the first place.

I tried to tape the notch, used duck tape. Maybe I should have used masking or scotch. It still kept catching on the tape I’ll try thinner tape next time.
I use pline on and off in 2-6lb
Thanks guys

All of my lines come out of Japan. They all have the same clip that is on the CXX spools. That clip can be a pain if you are spooling line up with spool laying flat on a surface for sure. I spool up my reels just like in this video.....yes it goes against the grain of what most say to do. But it works and works well. I have zero line twist.....I can’t afford any line twist at all. I have several rods that the tip is only 6/10 of a millimeter in diameter.....more with tips at 7/10 of a millimeter in diameter. Using lines....with many at a diameter of .105mm.....if there is any line twist it will wrap around the tip in a heart beat......and I’m subject to break a very expensive rod.

Interesting that you use Pline CXX on your spinning reels. It was my understanding that CXX was designed for casting reels and not for spinning reels.

Have you have good success with CXX on your spinning reels?

I've used CXX several times. It's just thicker and has more memory. If you are familiar with berkley line; CX is like trilene XL, and CXX is like trilene XT.

Last year I bought some Seagar Red Label and had the same issue. Put a bolt through a board and it works. However, this year I spooled all my reels the way Shaw suggested. I have not been fishing yet. Plan on going this week...we shall see.

THATS IT! seaguar was the other brand I was trying to think of in my above post. That catches the spool worse than pline for me.

Yeah. No problems.
I usually get 4 or 6lb. This one I have now is 2lb test. Great especially fishing trout in streams.

I was thinking,
If you spoiled it like Shaw there..
had the spool vertical the line comes off the top of the spool it would be the same as counter clockwise? Right?
If it came off the bottom it would be clockwise...
So if you spolled it vertically line coming off the top of the spool it would be the same as doing it the way I said laying flat line coming off counter clockwise...
Thoughts ....??

All I can say is I've been spooling my line like that for at least twenty years (long before there was such a thing as Youtube.)

All my reels are Daiwa or Shimano, and they all have some type of "anti-line twist" mechanism built into them. I guess I'm just one of the few "geeky" guys who actually read the instructions that came with the reel. The instructions said that spooling the line like the video shows is the correct way.

I run my baitcasters off of the top and my spinning rods off of the bottom. Haven't had a problem.
