Welcome to the site HarveysMinnow!
While I don't have any problems with these "wicked notches," that is a great idea you've got for those who do. BB

follow up
Mac's adaptation with a bolt has merit also. One could even add a couiple of large washers (fender washers I think they are called) and a threaded nut to snug the CD or whatever against the line spool. The trailing end of the bolt could then be clamped to a table, work bench, boat transom, etc. Experimentation will determine what works best for you.

that idea can also be implemented in combination of one of these spool holders:

I find it most disconcerting that a simple design to hold the line in place would cause such a clamity. How many spools of line do you guys use in a year? I guess it never really occured to me that this an issue. I have always just dropped the spool on the antenna of my burbon and reeled the line on the spool. Always label up for some reason unknown to me..
But if you use the dreaded mono or flouro I could see the issue.. I love the cd idea.. but I will never use it most likely (braid). Good post... Capt Mike

I hate the blooming notch. So when I'm spooling spinning reels I take the line off the plastic spool and wind it on to one of my custom teak or Brazilian Cherry spools with beveled edges - no problems.

X2 I am pro-notch. I have much more trouble with line coming off of a spool when I don't want it to than having it catch when I'm spooling it onto a reel.

I agree notches are annoying and just plain useless for the most part. I like the rubber band, suites the same purpose without snagging line or flipping the spool. It is a much bigger deal for braided line because of the frays that cause massive damage to the line.
