I've never solved this mystery, either. I've tried holding the line spool up to the reel to match which way the line goes on. I've tried simply winding line on with the label up - and also with it down. I've tried winding it on, then walking all of it out on the ground and winding it back in.
and I STILL get line twist.
The best answer I've found is to take the newly spooled rod out in my boat, let all the line out with nothing on the end and troll the bare line around for 15 minutes.
It also helps a lot to buy good mono. That bulk spool stuff in the bottom tray at Wallie World is NOT it.
