I give out all my secretes :oops:
When you first go to fill up your spool, tie a swivel on the end of your line.
Don't tie a not to the spool.
This way if your getting spooled you can just tie a knot to the swivel on another reel.
I stay away from loops.
They can get caught on the guides or get stuck on your hands.
If you dont want to use a swivel just tie a bimini twist and leave a nice sized loop to tie into.
I hope this helps 8-)

I have loops on the bottom of my 80, hope I never see them, but I tied 3 spider hitches about 15 yards apart on the bottom.
