Typically, spincast reels mount on the top of the rod handle.
Which way does a reel go on a rod?
The correct way is making sure the spinning reel is facing downward and you are reeling forward. With a conventional reel, the reel should be facing up. The crank should be going forward. Never crank the reel backwards.
Do spinning reels go backwards?
Fishing reels are made to cast out line and retrieve via the spool and handle. Many modern fishing reels use anti-reverse clutches or mechanisms that allow the reel to spin both ways. There are times when these devices get jostled, causing it to turn in one way only, such as backward.

Anti-Reverse on a spinning reel is a feature that prevents the reel from turning backwards and engages the drag.

Are spinning reels right and left-handed?
It doesn’t matter if you are right-handed and prefer to hold your fishing rod and spinning reel in your right-hand while reeling with your left-hand, or if you are left-handed and would rather hold the reel in your left-hand while reeling with your right-hand.
Should reel be on left or right side?
Just like spinning, if you are right-handed (casting and holding the rod in the right hand) use a reel that has the crank handle on the left side (labeled as “left-handed”). Left-handed anglers should choose a baitcasting reel with the crank handle on the right side (labeled as “right-handed”).

Do you need to soak fishing line before spooling?
Always prior to spooling up with mono, leave your line submerged in a bucket of warm water. This will allow the water to soak into the line helping not only when you come to wind the line on but also allowing the line to bed down property on your spool.
