rewell6,
At one time line was twisted with a right hand lay as they called twist. Coiling clockwise just tightened the twist and coiling the other way took some twist out and after a few turns the line would start to kink. Today a braided line can be coiled either way but tradition says clockwise and there is always the possibility of running into line that is twisted or has a twisted core so coiling clockwise is a good habit to get into because it’s safe for all lines.
All the best,
Robert Gainer
