One thing I do if I'm spooling up a reel with braid (regardless of whether spinner, conventional, fly spool, etc) is to WET PACK the line.

Best if you have a friend helping you.

Get a pencil, stick it through the spool.

Place pencil and spool in a warm bucket of water.

With a friend applying moderate braking tension on the submerged spool, start winding the line on to your reel, making sure that tension is maintained.

Wet packing assists in laying of the line tightly.

Also, if you've never had wind knots with power pro, you will if you throw small jigs and swimmers on 30 lb. test.
