New reel

[Roryk11]

So I've splashed out on a Penn battle2 8000lc and am going to load it with Berkley 15lb trilene big game but watching a few vids and they say to load it on so it's coming off the spool anti-clockwise is this right not sure as first time filling was done for me last time

Yes anti-clockwise,usually the label side of spool.

Agreed,anti-clockwise, can't always rely on the label.

Put a bar/stick or penn threw the spool and let it roll off it not coil as it will be kinky all the time

OK for a multiplier but not for a spinning reel.

Have the line coming off the spool in the same direction as the rotation of the reel.
