Blue line the red is the end of the spool.
Do not go to the red line line might go behind the spool into the center hub.

Don't you want like a nice even coat? Since it doesn't have a guide like a spinner reel you guide it with your hands right? Is there something I don't know lol?

I'm slowly preparing myself to live with that when I do cast but I can't seem to let it go when I'm spooling... I hate being a perfectionist sometimes

LOL! :lol:

Just put it on quick and use your hand to move it side to side in the spool. It doesn't have to be perfect.
