I just purchased a new Ugly Stick GX2 9ft Medium action Salmon style rod and paired it with a Quantum Optix 60 Spinning Reel. So, in this video, I thought I would demonstrate how I spool braided fishing line on to a spinning reel. Because braided line doesn't stretch like monofilament line does, it tends to slip on the spool because it is hard to tie it tight enough to make it stick. To combat this, most people use monofilament or fluorocarbon as a backer, but I like to use electrical tape instead.

![How To Spool Line On The Ultimate Inshore Combo [Backing & Braid]](/img/n.gif)
Best vid out there! Mahalo from Hawaii
The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.
My braided line started slipping after about 3 years on the spool, thought the drag was burnt out, would just pull freely with bail locked and drag maxed out. Replaced my drag washers with carbon washers and still would pull freely. Saw a similar video and had a aha moment and noticed both the spool and the reel were not spinning together, which meant the braided line was slipping around the spool. Did the electrical tape trick and re-spooled with new braided line and it worked like magic.
Great vid just put braid on my spool for the first time using your technique and worked perfectly. Cheers
Came for the instructions. Stayed for the knowledge. Subscribed for the name. 🤣🤣
Good stuff man👍
Thanks for sharing my friend, aren’t you afraid that the glue of the inside of masking tape after some period will mess the braided line, specially during hot days? It happened to me many times when I wrapped different things with masking tape, after couple summers to stack everything over it with glue impossible to remove. Never tried it on a spool with braided line though.
Greetings from Northern Ireland......subscribed 👍
Great video. I had that same reel and it broke in half on the stem first time I used it! I found out it was made of plastic when it broke! I couldn't believe it!
I am sure many others have mentioned that the bar you keep mentioning is actually the bail on the reel.
Cool, "Easy-Peazy"... I received a new rod n reel for Christmas, just checking to make sure I did it correctly, Thanx! 😎🎣😊👍
Nice vid! I know you were only using that filler spool of braid, but the spool looked a bit underfilled to me. I can never tell for sure though. What do you think? Thanks for your efforts!
Thanks for watching! And yes, you are right, 150 yds was a bit underfilled. I am guessing I could have spooled another 100 yds on this reel. Rule of thumb is to spool it to about 1/8" to no more than 1/16" from the edge of the spool.
Jerking My Rod Thanks so much!
Anytime Buddy!
Which way is the line supposed to come of the spool onto your reel?
Are you paying any mind to the direction of the reel paired w the direction of line off spool? Or does it matter with braid, will line memory need to be be achieved to prevent large to small spool birds nests?
A lot of q's but many people say direction matters
No memory on braid brotha so It doesnt matter which way you spool it, mono and fluoro are a doff story lol
Is braided line better than monofilament line? And if that is true then explain to me cause I wanted to buy stren high impact but I was told to get braided line so help me out
monofiliment has stretch and sinks. braided line has very little to no stretch and floats. it depends on what youre doing. if your doing top water, braid is your best friend because it foats etc etc
Should the line come off the spool cw or ccw? Thanks
People really seem to like those Quantum optix 60's , I use the Basspro Catmaxx cmx80 but I those Quantum's seem to get the job done
Great rod, I have same one. Love the action on it.
My new favorite rod!
You need more line to bring it closer to the lip. When you cast the lip will slow down the speed of the line therefore limiting your distance
Will cast 20% further if you fill the spool.
Good idea using the tape as a filler has to be cheaper than line I’ve read some good enough reviews on the same reel u r using I live in Nebraska so no saltwater fishing just hopefully for big cats but always a good buzz for sure I’ve got a couple of rods that need reels if it’s good enough for you it’s gotta b good enough for me but I’ll one up u and put one or two extra passes of tape on my spool if I buy 150’ or maybe I’ll buy a big spool of braid decisions decisions
Lol! Luv the double entendre name.
How much electric tape do you need to put on so it sticks
What is the best reel for 7 foot long poles ugly stick
Very helpful, THANKS!
Like to loop method! Going to give it a try. Thanks.
Is braided line better to fish with and will you be able to fight the fish better
You can get way more line on your reel with the same pound test. Braid is a much thinner diameter. Plus you can't create weak spots by bending it like with mono
Also less stretch and less stretch = more sensitivity
@@soldierofmisfortune6284 so braided line is better so can I use 30 pound test braided line on my optix 60 spinning reel
@@soldierofmisfortune6284 more sensitivity means I will be able to feel the fish more
@@chiefbubba2581 I'm new to braid as well but apparently yes, you will be able to feel them more. And you will need a leader, you can use mono or fluoro.
Would 1” painters tape work?
no
Diior wrong. Caught a 26lb red snapper and no issues. Haven’t had any spool slip in the month since I posted this.
Q Bearded lmao i didn’t even know this my first time using braid 😂
Q Bearded little creek jus down the road from my house has 25 lb carp gonna go catch em later today
Can you fish at the beach I never know you can do that? Do you catch fish at the beach
Just last friday i caught 2 25lb Stripe Bass on the beach. It's called surf fishing, and its my favorite way to fish for monster fish.
@@christopheribanez7005 surf fishing so you need a certain kind of fishing rod
@@chiefbubba2581 Yea, surf rods. Ideally, u want your surf rods to be at least 9' long.
I personally surf fish with three rods. A 12' and two 10' rods.
@@christopheribanez7005 wow that's great i just bought my father a penn pursuit 3 8000 and that is very smooth and now i want one as well but i want to buy the penn battle 2 8000 combo but i want it to come with the battalion 7 feet pole
@@chiefbubba2581 It really is up to your style of fishing. A 7' rod with a PB2 8000 sounds like a good setup for boat fishing.
I dont fuck around. I run the line down my eyes and tie it onto the spool reel it all onto the spool never failed me in 24 years.
Nice intro lol. Subscribed
Did the man show how the line comes off the reel ,or did I miss that !
You start your video by showing us an incorrectly filled spool. You can get much more line on that spool without any fear of wind knots- fill it just short of the spool rim taper. With that thick braid you have your casting distance will be severely reduced. I worked in a tackle shop for a few years and have spooled thousands of reels, with braid and mono.
what about the whole issue of matching the direction that the line is coming off the spool, with the direction that the line is going on the reel?
As long as the spool is spinning as you reel instead of the line coming off the spool without it spinning, the line should be matching the direction. If that makes sense?
So your only filling your spool 3/4 or the way? Why wouldnt you use backing? You only had 150 yds or mtrs. You do know that the fuller the spool, the farther the cast? Less friction man.
this made it really easy but i think i did a couple of steps wrong but awesome thanks
Thanks so much for watching and I am glad that it helped you at least a little bit!
I redid it on my new reel turns out it was my old reel that messed-up it didn't spread the line properly so yea thanks man good vid
It's called a bail bruh lol
Great video though - Thanks
You're doing it wrong the line should come off counter clockwise which normally means label down 🤙🏽
Reel could still take another 50 yards ez
I'm not taping my reel
Thanks!
It’s called a Bale
Didnt make sense
it's called a bail ! not a bar
And got paid by the hour to do it
It's called a bail!!!
6:30 i dont know what the point from fking up the rod but ok :) u must not hold line especialy braided line on rod like this man .. cheers in moust cases u fuck up the coating of the rod ;) + also make braided line wet before its important :)
You lost me at kastking.
Never believe anything a guy who uses a Shakespeare Ugly Stick rod tells you. The rod of noobs and weekend warriors.
They work just fine. Don't be an elitist snob.
I had high end BS rods break on me the Ugly stick I've had since I was a noob has never let me down.
Been fishing over 30 years and will buy nothing but Ugly Stik. One piece stainless guides and the rod is indestructible. I got your noob swingin' Mark.
You sound like you're new to fishing and just basing your opinions on price ranges rather than personal experience.
Cuz any real angler knows Ugly Stiks are beasts.
He's got the covid!!!
