SkeeterRonnie: I know what you are saying, and I may not have described what I do in enough detail. Actually, the only friction in the system (if you can describe such a Rube Goldberg cluster-f&*( as a "system), is in the rims of the line spool against the towel--I don't put any friction on the line itself at all, unless you count the friction against the one guide, which is always there anyway when fighting a fish--multiplied by the number of guides. The first time I did it, I didn't use the towel and put so much friction on the spool that it ate two neat little slot holes in the carpet. So I moved a table over it that my wife couldn't lift to check underneath. When we sell the house, I will probably just tell the new owners they can keep the table.
I don't use a glove to run the line through at all, and only touch the line as I feed it onto the spool. I even do that without a glove on, and in fact, when I did it with the thousand yards of JB 130, I predictably managed to wear a hole in left thumb and forefinger. I knew it would happen, but eeeeooooowwww.
