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.

ok, I have a little question with that process, I'm gonna spool some braided line on a penn 330GTi, however, it's also spooled with #40 mono. My question is this, if I use your method of wet packing, will the braided line be embedded in the mono and cause tangles within the spool? Or should I just reel in a good layer of braided line then wet pack it from there?

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast, I most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,
That in His mercy I be judged, as big enough to keep.
