Those reels are soooo 😍🤣 nice little vid, I think lots of people avoid tapered mainlines thinking it’s too complicated but really it’s a simple process when you know how.
If you don't want to do this get the app line calc,this will tell you how much backing you need for your spool. You do however need to know the crank length of your reel...how much you retrieve per handle turn to wind on the right amount.
Is putting the spool into the water a good idea for the drag? This feels like a recipe for line twist as well? Unless it reverses the twist from putting it on the first spool
Nice vid and a great way to work out the backing.. but, I have two questions that hopefully someone can answer as I am a little confused..1. Is the tapered line loaded on the spools specifically to be loaded this way as if it is not, then surely the taper is the wrong way around unless you use another spool? 2. what was the point of attaching the backing line to the spool with a knot, then not attaching the backing to the mainline, or am I missing something? Keep them coming guys, great informative vid as usual :) ok, it is double tapered, did not realise that so that answers my first question :)
Looks great and if Tel is hammering it you know it's good quality. Does anyone know what the abrasion resistance is like on this or any of the longchuck line?
Why not just sell larger spool of line so you can do away the the chore of using backing line , I'm not having a dig just my opinion . It's great having new line on your reels every angler loves nice fresh line but no one like spooling up well I don't anyway 🤣
Old line is just for backing it won't be used, its so that your tapered mainline is filled perfect on the spool, underfilled spools don't cast well, defeating the object of tapered mainline in the first place..
The worse line Ive ever used, sooooo stiff, worse than fluro, cast ok/average in 15lb. Much better lines out there. Im huge korda fan but this was a huge disappointment 😞

Superb demo

Should I backwind with this line or can I play a fish as usual using the clutch? Thanks…
Is this a spot of guesting?... thought tel was a shimano man!... informative either way, always enjoyed his vlogs....learnt loads from him.
Moved over now, hence the basias

Apparently its tapered at both ends of the spool , im sure Terry said that in a different video on UA-cam.
Our LONG CHUCK Tapered Mainline is tapered at both ends so can be put on exactly as demonstrated in this video 👍🏼
Nice video. Thank for the tutorial

Because they are Tapered both ends, so they can be reversed for double usage, and everyones spools are different sizes...
Few times I’ve done this the spool of line just falls over in the water 🤬
Nice. A1!
Thanks i try it
What if I dont have spare spool
Then ur fucked mate 🤣
💯💣💣💣
Why add old line ?
Old line is just for backing it won't be used, its so that your tapered mainline is filled perfect on the spool, underfilled spools don't cast well, defeating the object of tapered mainline in the first place..
Got this on my reels. Not impressed. Lost its colour in two weeks. Looks like its been on there 20 years. Looks nasty
What a ball ache .
Just use a shock leader.
Not all places allow them clever clogs

‘The first few turns do slowly’ come on Korda that’s atrocious grammar
Don't forget the only way is Essex...
