don't spool it too loose as loops will form in the spool and you will get wind knots, and first fish you hook, line will be going on the spool with more tension and the braid will cut back into the loose line and cause knots

There has been recent discussion on another forum regarding rust developing on the spools. Some have suggested coating it with a car wax prior to spooling with line.
There was also a comment regarding whether or not the spool tape has an anticorrosive (purely speculation). I've stuck a few small strips of 'Owner rust stop' tape to a few spools just to see what happens.

after each fishing trip, and some Inox after a few should prevent any rust. If never seen it, and I am not as diligent as the above suggest.

Often night fish and to shagged to do it after.
