When push comes to shove, I’ve been known to settle these quandaries the old fashioned way—the flip of a… With both types of reels, you’ll generally fill the spools up within an eighth of an inch of the lip. You can always remove some line, but it’s less-than-ideal to under-spool. Good line is determined by the right type and size, but also its vintage.
When preparing for your next colossal fishing trip, first consider rewinding your poles because last year’s fishing line may have run its course. However, if you finish acquiring a new fishing rod and reel, all you have to do is study how to set a fishing pole or string a fishing pole. But you can walk your line out and flip it with a spinning reel as well. Re-spooling fishing reels is one of those things some people actually like to do… and I ain’t some people.
How to Spool a Spinning Reel to Eliminate Line Twist!
Grab your line, regardless of whether it is mono or braid and, slowly take it out of the spool. To prevent any line tangles or twists, remove up to 15 feet of line from the spool. If you’re putting a monofilament backing onto the reel, you’ll first use the mono then later attach the braid.
The process of how to string a fishing pole also changes based on the type of fish you are looking to catch. If you are after a smaller fish, you need to use a heavier line so the fish will not be able to break it. When deciding how to string a fishing pole, the most important thing is matching the right tackle with the right fish. While most premium lines are fine by themselves out of the package , some additives may help performance.
Today, I want to provide a quick, concise guide to help you string multiple reels, and also go over common issues fishers encounter when stringing. Always remember to have the bail open when spooling up your reel. Apply enough tension so that the line is spooled securely and evenly. A good rule of thumb is to leave 1/8″ from the line to the rim of the spool. Over spooling, especially with the line spooled in the opposite direction is asking for a messy tangle during the first use.
Step 9: Keep Cranking Until You Fill the Spool
With this ready, at this moment, it’s time to go for the fish. First, open the spinning reel bail by lifting the wire arm boy off the reel. Use an arbor knot to tie the novel line into the arbor, then turn the wire arm down to close the bail. But you have to make sure there’s enough braid on the reel to cover the knot well where it’s joined to the mono. Otherwise, when you go to cast you’ll feel the knot and it will negatively impact the efficiency of your cast.
Bait-casting Reels
The Piscifun EZ Fishing Line Spooler System would be my first choice simply because it can be used to spool both spinning reels and baitcasting reels. It is small and compact making it easily portable in a boat or even a kayak. It also attaches directly to your rod so you will not have to remove your reel from the rod in order to spool the fishing line. Generally I spool up in the boat or garage, but I also keep a short spinning rod and a short baitcasting rod in my home office for this purpose. Thread the line through the lowest, largest guide and then onto the reel.
