I like to run the line through some rod guides. You can get the line too much on one side of the spool or the other if you just hold it between your fingers and crank cause it will overfill on the side you are holding it. To prevent this I run it down a rod and then change hands holding the line tight going on the spool . i change hands several times as the line builds up.
You want about 6 to 10 wraps of mono under the braid to prevent the whole spool of line from just slipping around the arbor.
