yup lucky's are always best on ice
as for spooling up new line, string the line through the hole in the paper box the line comes in and get a friend to hold. if your doing it solo, punch hole thru the middle of the spool and paper box with a pencil and then anchor it by placing the ends of the pencil between two boxes, tackle boxes, etc.........
you will get the least amount of knots when the new spool of line is spinning when you reel it onto your spin/baitcasting reel and that paper box usually provides the right amount of resistance.
trust me, if you reel up your new line loosely without any resistance, then the beginning of your first fishing trip with that reel will be no fun at all.
