Spooling a Reel?

[skip]

Hi Mike,

Perhaps you can answer this one. Just spooled a Senator 50 with 50lbs Dacron and when doing a basic test with Fin who was pulling on the line to test the drag we noticed the dacron buried itself down into the spool between the rest of the line. This effectively resulted in it getting locked in between the rest of the line on the spool and required quite a tug to get it out.

Also tried some Power Pro still on its supplied spool, gave that a tug and whilst not as bad a similar thing happened.

Is this normal? Or does it mean a) the line wasn't spooled on tight enough or b) it was spooled on correctly, not enough left to right movement?

Little bit worried about this as it hasn't happened before with mono.

UPDATE: Dacron and Spectra have to be spooled very tight. Reel on full drag and lots of tension between the spool and the reel with good left to right movements and the occasional sporadic move. If they're not they bit down into themselves and can cause back lashes as above.
