It ruins it. Furthermore, I would venture to say many people experience problems with it as a direct result of the above mentioned atrocity.
The best way to pack it on tight is to let it out behind a moving boat and crank it in. If you have to... put a barrel swivel on it for more drag. A weight is not needed if the boat is moving at a reasonable speed.
