When spooling this reel I know that backing comes before whatever ice line I choose. My question is when spooling it how do I handle the line roller? (See pics)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW the reel is a Crystal River Royal Coachman CR-2102.

Cheers.
To answer your question you reel has rollers on both sides, so it doesn't matter which way you spool your line.
