I just finished spooling a reel doing everything this dude just showed me and it turned out great. Don't know what everyone else here's problem is. Thanks a lot!
"And make sure the line is coming off in the direction we talked about earlier." Uhh, he never mentioned the direction the line is supposed to come off. :/
James Ritchie Youre gonna get line twist and the line will try to jump off the spool if you dont put it on in the right direction. Thr line has memory and you want it to twist around the spool of your reel the same as the spool the line is on
You want the line to come off the spool and go onto the reel the same direction for one reason- to prevent the line from twisting when you are doing your retrieve. If you spool the reel one direction, and the bail tries to respool the line back onto the reel in the other direction, the line will twist as it goes back onto the reel. This will cause a lot of problems are far as casting distance and it will also cause the line to twist up near the bail as it it being reeled in, which can cause a big birds nest or it can wrap around the outside of the reel or bail if tension is not maintained.
Quick tip folks, if you remove your reel after spooling it and securing the line to the holder, you can submerge your line for about 10 minutes in warm/hot water. When you remove it, the line will then cool back down to the new shape and retain that memory without jumping off the spool constantly.
his seems to have retained well ! ,,,yes i know this good trick ,problem is sometimes there are things on that reel spool you do not want immersed in water like the drag felt washers or possibly the clicker and sometimes other decals or stickers etc ,i think they have this special spray that does the same trick
@@justinhunting803 i am used to mono all my life and not familiar too much on the downsides of expensive braid and needing to use a leader ,but thx for tip
@@justinhunting803 braid is ass, knots all day every day. And too much stretch in the line if youre fishing weeds cant tell if youve hooked in or hit a patch of weed. Will never use braid again unless open saltwater.
I always loop the end around 3 times before I finish the knot to prevent the line from "slipping" on the spool, (especially a problem if you are using braided line) and make sure you orient/tie the second knot so that the line doubles back on itself as you start to load it onto the spool. It should cinch itself snug onto the spool. If you have the line coming out through that second knot without doubling back, your line won't grab the spool but will slip around the spool.
Shakespear, is that the best video you could do? Audio from only the left channel? The presenter makes references to things that are nowhere in this video.... If this is the quality of their instructional videos, I am worried with the quality they put into their reels...
Very informative, thanks for the video. I got confused about which direction you talked about earlier, but I got it figured out and now I'm looking forward to fishing.
You didn't show the detail of how line should be coming off the new spool and THAT should be the most critical aspect of doing this job correctly. Along with other commenters, I think this training video should be re-done.
After spooling on new line. I always put on a swivel and lure and cast out several times. The swivel will spin and take out any line twists you may have after spooling on the new line. Has always worked for me.
I've done this, as well as just plain fishing with swivels and seem to always still have twists in my line. only ever started having this problem when trying some flouroclear this year. Though it's been a while since I last spooled a reel so I may have done something slightly wrong.
Watched a couple videos to see if some guidance was missing here, and it was. However, this was very helpful as I spooled my first reel yesterday. This video definitely needs to clarify the directions of the lines and the detailed description of the snapped tag. Otherwise, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I watched this for the first time and got it right away. You made it super simple to follow. When I started reeling my line in it didn't start wrapping the line around the reel. I stuck a tiny piece of tape across the line to the reel and it started reeling in no problem. Also I noticed when I started reeling in my line it was harder to reel. So I flipped the spool of line over and started reeling and it was smooth as butter. I dunno if this helps any other first timers but I thought I would comment.
Man thank you so much for this video! I had to set up my rod in 10 minutes and I never did it before. I found this video I had everything done in 5 minutes you explained what had to be said and was clear about how it should be done. Thank you
After you finish spooling the line on your reel, tie the line around the line holder on the reel, then loosen the drag until the main reel comes off. Take that piece with the line spooled on, and put it in hot water for 10 min, or until the hot water turns room temp. That removes all memory from how you bought it and forms memory to your reel.
After you tie your knots around the spool, you say, "and now clip your tag in." What are you talking about? If I don't know how to properly put line on my first rod, do you think I know what clipping my my tag is supposed to mean?
Take a guess. Do you think you would cut off the excess line or cut it between the reel and the spool of line. If that's difficult for you might need to find another hobby
What did I miss? At 2:10 Casey speaks about the line coming off in the direction that "we talked about earlier". Earlier when, and what direction? Clockwise? Counter-clockwise?
Excellent video both in terms of information and delivery. Much of the basics are often neglected and your contribution goes a long way in reminding us how to properly proceed. Could you please add rod, reel, line and lure specifications. Thank you!
I agree with jwubker regarding the line direction of the line when spooling. This is a critical issue. In addition, it was my understanding that using braid was a better option for a spinning reel over fluorocarbon and monofilament. I use 40 lb. braid that has the line diameter as that of 8 lb. mono and it works great in the lily pads down here in Central Florida. Other than that, it was a good video and appreciate the effort.
let me add an old trick I learned to doing this spinning or bait casting reel. Pull out enough line to cover the distance of your kitchen or dining room table. Set a big book (Websters Collegiate Dictionary works good or a think set of Yellow Pages from a big city). Run the line through the book with the spool on the other side of the book. Spool on the line. The book provides the drag to keep tension on the line which spooling it on. I put it about 1/3 to 1/2 way through the book. Need more drag? Put the string deeper in the book. Less drag? move it toward the front of the book a little. Hardest part for me on this video is my old 77 year old hands woulda been a lot happier with that yellow twine instead of the 8# test line I was loading in tying those knots.
for the uninformed: during this video, you did not explain which direction the line was supposed to be coming off of the spool after tying the line to the reel.. ("you want to make sure the line is coming off of the spool in the direction we talked about earlier")
I use a Shimano FX 4000FB, with 25 lb. test Powerpro braided line. I tie it to the little triangle tab at the base and just spool it up using a little tension on the line and I've never had a problem with the line getting tangled on the spool. I've caught some nice trout and lots of catfish with no problems.
I have been fishing and using spinning reels for 30 years and have never thought of this...That's a really good idea i can see that working just fine because i don't tie my line to the spool anyway...I will try this the next time i spool one up.
Ronald Cox I've only been fishing for about 4 years, but my reel setup has worked well for me. The best thing I've noticed about using braided line is the fact that I can fill up the spool till it's almost full and never worry about casting too far and the tab possibly breaking off. I guess that's the beauty of braided line. From my experience they're all basically the same thickness, no matter what the test rating is. I'm still pretty much an amateur when it comes to fishing, but I try to have fun.
How hard would it have been to verbally describe the orientation of the line as it comes off the spool? I imagine one extra word, clockwise or counterclockwise. Why hasn't this been corrected? Laziness.
I caught that too. He should have said to make sure that the line comes off the spool in a counterclockwise direction since the bail is also turning in a counterclockwise direction.
FYI - If you ran the line through the guides and under the bail then there would be no reason to clip the line by the reel and restring it. Just pointing out what I usually do is run everything properly before tying the line to the reel so once I'm done I cut the line by the spool and put on my rig.
I am speechless. This is utterly on of the most fantastic videos I have ever watched. With the knowledge and wisdom I have obtained, I can die knowing I have lived a fulfilling and productive life.
I have an electric line spooler which enables you to remove the spool and load the line without twists. But it is short lived at best because when you cast, the line coming from the spool gets a twist for every loop. That puts hundreds of twists between your reel and the end of your line. When you lift your lure out of the water to make a cast, several twists will come out...especially after a line break. In short order you end up with the first hundred foot or so getting twisted onto the spool anyway. Let the spinning reel be a spinning reel and load it as you would a baitcaster applying tension by squeezing the filler spool as it rotates and not by holding the line. Loaded this way puts the twists on the spool and not between the reel and end of line. The twists come out when casted and then put back on when reeled in. Tight Lines!
Thanks for this, definately the most straight forward video I've seen on this. New to fishing got some basic gear to get started, off to Portugal on holiday to give it a go, fingers crossed!
At what point did you mention the direction of the line as it goes on to the reel? The direction that we talked about earlier? UGH... When?? Watched twice, it's not there. Thats the only info that I was looking for. And probably most people who are searching for "how to put your line on a roll" just saying'. Watching it for a 3rd time. nope, direction off the line to the reel is absolutely missing.... The most important part.
Michael Forrest The only forgiving thing is the video is slightly over three minutes. ALL FACEBOOK videos shouldn't be longer than this; I'm embarrased mine is six minutes and I'm still editing. Voice over with young voices should watch 'runningthewordstogether". Edit, edit, edit. And this is a major CORPORATION?
nickisbeaste after watching the video a few times I didn't see the direction. I never saw the spool of new line. As the resident expert, please tell me at what minute/second mark to watch. With your expert guidance and eagle eye , I may not have to watch another video. What say you.
Maybe saying he's going to the right instead of "Use your eye" would have been a more useful comment and we wouldn't be wasting our time in the comments section +nickisbeaste. Look down through all the comments and you might see a few more comments asking the same question.
No idea what Im doing wrong but 2 things are happening: first, the line doesnt "catch" on the the spool, it just stays put while im spinning. I used a bit of tape to keep it put on the spool in the hopes it would eventually catch. That kind of worked for a little bit until I noticed the line stopped being drawn in and just kept getting twisted in place. It;s braided line 0.28mm if that makes a difference. Should I use thicker nylon? Thanks.
Thanks! Was the second and final knot attaching to the spool a oouble overhand or a square knot? I noticed your first knot didnt pull the whole way to the second with the nylon string but I'm assuming it will with mono?
Quoting Dustin B : "Make sure the line is coming off in the direction we talked about earlier." Hold your rod up at eye level. Look down download the rod (tip is farthest away from you.). Crank the spinner and pay attention to the direction the bail rotates (clockwise or counterclockwise). Set the spool of new line on the ground so the line comes off rotating in the same direction.
I like to spray the line on the spool with line treatment before I put it on my reel. The little bit of lubricant makes it run more smoothly through your hand and cuts down on friction which can damage line.
Being a noob I have no idea what the clip is /means and actually how you got the fishing line joined in the first place? When does the yellow rope come off???
My pole is rated for a max. 10 pound of line. I bought 12 pound line. Will I be alright? I'm just fishing ponds and rivers. not really going for monster
Great totorial, I prefer braided and I've read you should double uni-knot about 3' of at least 10# mono (same with baitcasting reels) first, then use my braid which I prefer. Any advice re: what I've read, etc?
“Hey guys, what ending sounded better?” “Screw it, use both of them!” “Thread it through the guides. Tie on our favorite lure. And were ready to start fishing. Now that you’re all spooled up, tie on your favorite fishing lure and let’s go fishing.”
The line MUST come off the spool in a straight line onto your reel, else you're going to get twists every time. You can use a line slightly larger than your reel's rating as long as it's spooled onto your reel correctly. Simply take a pen or pencil and stick it through the spool. Tape the pencil between two chairs and reel the string in steadily.
I wish it were as simple as tying on my favorite lure and going fishing. Conditions are rarely favorable to be throwing a spook or a big swimbait. And now that I think about it, probably my top 5 favorite baits wouldn’t be ideal for a spinning setup.
So what if you buy one with string on, how do you get started running string. I ran line through eyes but would not reel in. I must not have it hooked up to spinner right
Once the knot has been tied, any reason to be concerned if it rotates around the spool after pulling tight, if you are pulling on it? I’ve heard some people tie a piece of mono on first.
Doesn't the test a reel will handle change with the type of line used? Braided line is only about half the diameter of the same test in monofilament, so you should be able to double the reel rating based on this alone.
I spooled mine with 25# but when I released it, half of the spooled line would spring out from the reel. Maybe the line is too thick?... What is the best line?
he said make sure the line is going the way we talked about... WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT THAT! :)
As I was reading your comment...he said THE WAY WE TALKED ABOUT 😂😅
The direction we talked about earlier, was what I was looking for.
"Make sure the line is coming off in the direction we talked about earlier."

But you didnt talk earlier about how to get the line off the spool correctly. The MOST important thing.
"And make sure the line is coming off in the direction we talked about earlier."
Uhh, he never mentioned the direction the line is supposed to come off. :/
usually if u have the labeled side up on new line spool it should be the right direction..
What difference doe it make which direction line comes off the spool? That makes no sense.

Great totorial, I prefer braided and I've read you should double uni-knot about 3' of at least 10# mono (same with baitcasting reels) first, then use my braid which I prefer. Any advice re: what I've read, etc?
great video, but the second knot is a square knot
I like how you cast with your back facing the camera so that we don't see the line unravel and lose "our favorite lure"
I finally got it doing this just remember to put your line through the first eyelet. I held the line spool between my shoes while reeling.
“Hey guys, what ending sounded better?”
“Screw it, use both of them!”
“Thread it through the guides. Tie on our favorite lure. And were ready to start fishing. Now that you’re all spooled up, tie on your favorite fishing lure and let’s go fishing.”
if my reel max is 17lb and i'm gonna put braided line on it would it still have to be 17 lb test?
mpmccurry I'm wondering the same thing. my reel is 12lb - 17lb, but I have a 32lb line 😀
The line MUST come off the spool in a straight line onto your reel, else you're going to get twists every time. You can use a line slightly larger than your reel's rating as long as it's spooled onto your reel correctly. Simply take a pen or pencil and stick it through the spool. Tape the pencil between two chairs and reel the string in steadily.
helpful thank you
You tie on your favorite lure directly without a leader?
I wish it were as simple as tying on my favorite lure and going fishing. Conditions are rarely favorable to be throwing a spook or a big swimbait. And now that I think about it, probably my top 5 favorite baits wouldn’t be ideal for a spinning setup.
Just what a newbie was looking for! Thanks!
Very helpful video. Thank you Casey.
Too bad the camera did not video the line coming off the spool... The line needs to come off the spool counter clockwise.
how ironic and covenient that I looked up this video and It just so happens to show you how to tie line on the exact same pole I bought yesterday LOL

Mitch Mills mayby your lines tangled at the last eye hole on the tip of the rod?
I was spooling reels like that over thirty years ago .
my rod recomends 14 to 17 po7nd test line and i just have 10 will that still work well???
JOluis 2018 yes it would work just fine
So I have similar spinning reel with a spool of 100yd 12 pound fishing line should i be ok?
thanks this was very helpful
So what if you buy one with string on, how do you get started running string.
I ran line through eyes but would not reel in. I must not have it hooked up to spinner right
Wouldnt expect such a poor quality video from Shakespeare.
Once the knot has been tied, any reason to be concerned if it rotates around the spool after pulling tight, if you are pulling on it? I’ve heard some people tie a piece of mono on first.
Use a small piece of electrical tape to make sure it doesn't spin around the spool.
my left ear enjoyed this
Doesn't the test a reel will handle change with the type of line used? Braided line is only about half the diameter of the same test in monofilament, so you should be able to double the reel rating based on this alone.
Great video. Thank you
I spooled mine with 25# but when I released it, half of the spooled line would spring out from the reel. Maybe the line is too thick?... What is the best line?
Thanks! This video was very helpful!
My right ear loves this video👍
