Spooling your spinning reel

[jrwingate6]

I don't know if this technique has been talked about before but here goes.

All you need is a bucket (preferably squared, or with flat sides). Fill it with about 3-4 inches of water.
Place the line spool in the bucket on its side rather than its top or bottom and run the line to your reel spool like you normally would.
While spooling your reel, hold the rod about 2 feet to the right of the bucket and the line spool will spin against the side of the bucket while the water not only creates perfect tension but also wetting your line which decreases line memory.
This technique pulls the line off of the spool the same way it was put on.
