Ive always spooled my reels with the spool in a bucket of water with the label facing UP with a glass on top to keep it facing that way but ive recently bought a new spool of the same line and it comes off the spool the opposite direction to my old 1? My questionn is if the line is coming off the spool clock wise should the spool be label side up or label side down?as i cant get my head round looking at the coils etc. Any help greatly appreciated as ive spooled 2 new baitrunners and i had bad line twist yesterday?thanks in advance

Am i right in thinking if the spools on the floor face up that it should be coming off anti clockwise on to my reel? And looking at my reel spool side thats going round clockwise?

I have no clue about labels facing one way or another.
I just drop the spool in a bucket of water then wind fast enough to tip the spool on it's side. That way the line always has enough tension and the line goes on the reel with no twist.
