spooling new line

[pacmanrocks]

I just tried to spool two poles with new line and had major problems. I'm not sure what's going on. One pool was with 12lb mono Trilene XL Smooth on a setup that accepts 4-16lb test line and I spooled another with 12lb fluro Seaguar Red Abrasix on a setup that accepts 6-14lb test line. Both reels the line extremely fastly popped off while I was trying to tie a lure onto them. I ended up wasting about half of spool of 200 yard line of each just getting it spooled on there. Is anyone else having this problem because last year I didn't have a problem spooling line and now out of the blue the line is popping right off my reels. I'm not spooling them all the way to the top either, plenty of space. Do I need to let this line stay tight on my rod for a few days before the line gets situation on my reel or what? Pisses me off.
