right way to do it Ted is to put the reel on the rod, tie the line on and 99% of the time it's label up. You want to bring it in over the guides like this to keep the line from developing twist. Easy way to tell if the spool is backwards is to drop the rod tip and if it twists all up then it's backwards. Flip it and wind a little more on and you should be able to see the difference.

If u spin the line on ur reel u will do just that.if u think about it ur spinnig the line up no matter what way the spool sits.Now that u have twisty line get urself a good sampo swivel an a 3 once drail.Go an make some casts to try to undo what u have done.the other thing u can do is let 100 yds of it out off the back of a boat or from a bridge wit some good current.An reel it back with nothing on the end.
Get urself real friendly wit ur local shop have em order u a bulk spool of a ur favorite line.ask em if thay will hook u up an do it on the machine when u need it.I do mine myself.Line off one spool in the same direction as it goes on ur spool is the ONLY way to do it.
