Just to add to this, have the mono wrap on the spool in the same
direction as it is coming off the other spool..

That's just what I do. Buy a spool of cheap, bulk 2# mono, and use a
drill to transfer to a spool. Trilene usually has bulk spools of 2# test,
which is easy to tie with and tough.
Just use an old drill bit a little smaller than the spool hole (or a
wood dowel), then a few layers of tape until it fits tight. Start the mono
with a few turns, set the feed bulk spool on a nail with something to stop it
free-spinning, line it up and pull the drill trigger. Loads up a spool in no
time. I like the old deep wooden spools, as they hold a ton more. I'll get 3
to 4 months useage off one spool, depending on what I'm tying. Since you're
not wrapping the spool, it doesn't twist at all.

Uni-Mono Thin. Broke it a few time when I overspun. But no
problem. I do not plan to respool 6 lb test however,
BTW - how do you spool it without twisting? I am sure you have some
line horror stories about respooling to the bobbin the first few
times... I furl my own leaders with a power drill. Now trying to do
that on a little spool? yikes.
