Problems for a 1st time Fluorocarbon user.

Hey everybody, fishing has been a very part-time hobby for me my whole life until this year it's become a full-time hobby, so I'm learning and relearning how to fish.

Today I just bought a new spinning rod/reel and decided to give fluorocarbon a try (12lb Berkley Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon Professional Grade). I took it down to the local lake to give it a try and I had a really hard time managing this stuff, if I left any slack in the line it would just coil off the spool and it was driving me nuts. I did my best to spool the flouro based on the video that Kevin posted in the video's section but the line was just coiling off the factory spool then too.

Is this just because the line is new? Or will I always be dealing with this? Is this stuff easier to use on a baitcaster?

Thanks for the help!
