Is there a specific knot for this purpose? I keep making the proverbial balls of it. :oops:

the arbor knot is the one recommended on most sites, im sure you know it

knot tag end and then knot round the reel

some spools can be very slippery if so a bit of insulating tape can help

i just tie a small loop on the end of the mainline, then pass the mainline through it to form another adjustable size loop, let the bale arm off and place this adjustable loop around the spool, bale arm back in place and tighten, this will tighten the adjustable loop around the spool and sometimes a piece of pvc tape is used to hold it in place.
