It can be harder to get soft and supple braid to go through a hole than just going around the spool sometimes. Depends on the spool and the holes and the size of the braid.
I use a clinch knot to tie my line to my spool. The same knot I use to tie my lures on. If all your line is out you don’t have to worry about it popping off.
You need some kind of backing on that line like mono or Fluoro. Your spool is going to free spin not allowing the drag to engage. I had this issue starting out with braid. I tie a uniknot and a leader line I like to use a blood or fg knot.
@@officialfishboss The electrical tape would have to be on the spool before you tie. Otherwise that line can easily slip. I had this happen in the beginning when I first started using braid. I could never figure it out until my father in law took my reel apart.
Thank you! I never understood that. I fee like people just don't get their knot tight to the reel so they make more issues for themselves. Never needed backing
@@ballsack8937 the reason is because if braid has any looseness in it at all, your line will bite into itself and dug into the spool. Braid has to be perfectly tight on a baitcaster, with mono it doesn't matter. Braid honestly sucks on low profile baitcasters anyway
Use a cheap mono backing or it’s gonna slip. You only need to spoil enough to cover the spool and then you can use a double uni knot to connect your braid and then it’s good to go!
@aidenp7232 This isn't correct. If you put braided line right onto your spinning reel, you could risk get spooled and wasting money, but a base of standard monofilament line can stop that. Here’s why you should put mono backing on your spinning reel when using braided line: Reason #1: Braided line has the tendency to free-spin on a spool. Braid is so slick and thin that if you get a big fish on, your entire spool of braid might start spinning freely. You’ll know this is happening to you if you notice line peeling off your reel, but even when you tighten down your drag all the way it still doesn’t stop the fish. Monofilament, on the other hand, grips into the arbor (the center of the spool) and will not freely spin. Monofilament acts as a cheap filler. Braid is expensive, and most reels need a few hundred yards of line to properly fill them. Most braided lines come in 150-yd spools, which won’t fill a 3000 series reel, so 100-150 yards of mono backing will help fill it. If you don’t fill your reel with line, you’ll lose a lot of casting distance because the gap between the top of the spool and the line will cause friction as it’s leaving the reel. Now, have YOU ever used braided line before? 😂
@@wesleypipesgaming19 Okok but… he’s using a baitcaster, not a spinning reel 😂😂😂, the tape that he put on the spool is plenty for the braid to catch ahold of
@@coltonhale7070 you’re right if you put enough tape it will work but the reason mono or something like that is better is because it allows you to spool your line evenly. It’s impossible to get a flat base with tape man.
OK spinning reel sure electrical tape is getting braided to stick isn’t pain in the butt but a bait caster just feed it through two of the holes and tie knot and then put the knot upside down and then when you reel it it’s doesn’t need to stick to anything because it’s already connected to the spool
You do not need tape or mono or none of that , you tie it through the spool and then reel it up, if it slips it’s because you didn’t spool it with enough tension. Tape and mono trick is just a joke.
This is not the proper way. The proper way is to attach about 15yds of equal strength mono then tie the braid to that. This way it is physically impossible for the line to spin on the spool.
It’s a rod but either the spooler on it just for spooling up your reels it took a second to see what it was because I was about to say the same thing you did
I have that exact rod with the ugly stick baitcaster reel I promise you that rod is one of the best damn rods I’ve ever owned I could hang off of it and it wouldn’t break
😭😭I've been using this trash method for so long bc I didn't know any real knots but a real knot would work so much better here. It's not all that likely but if you don't max out your spool then it's very possible you could have a big fish pull your line all the way to the end and that trash knot will snap so easily. Loosing your ENTIRE line. And they always spin on the spool for me regardless. Wrap the entire spool in a good layer of electrical tape all the way around it and tie something like a San diago jam and have that knot tight and strong. If you ever end up at the knot you'll never have issues reeling in and the knot will be as strong as the knot on your hook. Better peace of mind. And the electrical tape keeps bigger fish from spinning the braid around the reel spool while you're trying to reeling in.
Sorry but this is a crummy way to put braid on any real first overtime, the braid will loosen and start to slip on the spool regardless of how much tape you put on it, and putting tape on a low mass spool is a bad idea because it adds weight to the spool and kind of defeats the purpose always put a little backing of mono or Floro to keep the braid from spinning on your spool. If you have holes in your school that allow you to pass the breakthrough from one hole to another to tie on your overhand knot that's totally acceptable.
Been fishing since I was a child. Never tied a knot. You will never get to the end of the spool on a fish. If you do, you suck. Just put the line through the hole of the spool and reel in. Done
I've been doing it for a while now and never had my line slip. Just make sure the tape is on all the way and aint gunna fall off then put your braid on super tight and it never slips
You could use tape I don't like to since electric al tape leaves residue and I don't wanna deal with that if I'm switch from braid to fluorocarbon or mono but with braid I typically just run it through the holes in the spool and either use a slip or Palomar knot to secure, works just as good and you don't have to worry about sticky crap on ur spool if ur switching line types
For my spinning reel I just tied an overhand knot and put the sticker from the packaging on it works great
Like just one over hand knot or two
@@Kolby-jack doesn't matter tbh if you get that far to the end of the spool your screwed anyway
@alex-yu2jc*sticker
@@ScottDoyle1990you should try working on that pube beard and getting out of your mom's house instead of correcting people's grammar
Also make sure the line is coming off the top of the spool and into your reel to prevent line twist/backlashes!
Braid has no line memory
@@vista8863 still can't hurt, and is good habit so you don't do the wrong process when puting on other line
You forgot to mention that you need your drag set all the way up before filling the spool.. also just tie an uni instead. Holds up better
i pass the line end through one of the holes in the spool then back out another then tie off and never have problems with slipping
Same
Some of these holes are not deburred and sharp so beware
Thanks for the tip👍 and Nice ugly stick! I still have mine from 2005, I tell you that rod has caught at least 10,000 walleye.
Bro you’re telling me I’ve been struggling to get the line around this whole time for no reason
Yes lol
It can be harder to get soft and supple braid to go through a hole than just going around the spool sometimes. Depends on the spool and the holes and the size of the braid.
Thank you for this. For years I’ve been pondering the correct way to fasten my line to my bait caster but was to stubborn to actually look it up
“The correct way” doesn’t include electrical tape. Lmao 😂
I use a clinch knot to tie my line to my spool. The same knot I use to tie my lures on. If all your line is out you don’t have to worry about it popping off.
So you don’t need to add backing you can just use tape?
Thank you this helped me figure mine out
best fishing line right there
backing with mono helps keep the braid from digging in and saves line as well
To much work
@@brodda7183 so you're just gonna fill a whole spool with braid? Have fun with that lol
@@jessecooper9795 is do that
@@jessecooper9795 I don’t cast far enough to get to that part
@@brodda7183 you're missing the point. It's only one extra knot to put backing on. Especially if you're not casting far, why use all braid?
Can you share the details like what rod you are using, which company, reel company and all. As i would like to buy one.
Thank you
Don’t but braid straight on to a metal spool, it can cause the whole spool of line to twist
Put it thru one hole and out another, no backing or tape needed
You need some kind of backing on that line like mono or Fluoro. Your spool is going to free spin not allowing the drag to engage. I had this issue starting out with braid. I tie a uniknot and a leader line I like to use a blood or fg knot.

Both are fine

No backing line? You’re brave
Why would he need backing for.??
That’s a waste of perfectly good monofilament. It’s stupid as fuck.
i never use backing for freshwater lol
The tape works fine, never had my braid slip and I fish 2-4 days a week
Nice thank you

What.. no mono backing first?
Is that need for baitcast too?
since braid is slippery i like to overhand knot on the tag end 3 times so it cant slip
Works just as good without any knots. After ten times around, the line isn’t going anywhere.
Also if you're using your bait caster in saltwater, wrap tape around the holes . It will save your bearings
Good way to gum up your spool
OK spinning reel sure electrical tape is getting braided to stick isn’t pain in the butt but a bait caster just feed it through two of the holes and tie knot and then put the knot upside down and then when you reel it it’s doesn’t need to stick to anything because it’s already connected to the spool
Too much tape, also not necessary. It makes the spool unbalanced
This is almost exactly how I setup my spinning reels
San Diego knot works the best for me
It’s a arbor knot for anyone asking
It took me 30 mins to put on a 670 yard line on my bait caster🤯
I think it's called arbor knot
Well it's vry good idea and sir let me know frm where I can get the same line which u r showing in the vdo
Sufix 832 80lb
My boyyy that pole don’t go with that reel 😂😂😂😂😂
Why not?
And ive never tapef my reel ever. Wow. Fkn internet
The holes are sharp, you might cut the line threading it through.
I'd fill it halfway with mono first...
You do not need tape or mono or none of that , you tie it through the spool and then reel it up, if it slips it’s because you didn’t spool it with enough tension. Tape and mono trick is just a joke.
Yes yes yes thank you someone said it! If it spins it's because you didn't use enough tension. Period. Thanks for speaking my mind
My dad has that same pole
If you be putting electrical tape on a whiffle spool you may not need a whiffle spool
I can honestly say I’ve never seen an Aldeberen on an Ugly Stik 😂
Left hand reel, very rational.
sounds similar to an arbor knot
Or, just tape the line to the spool. If they strip you to the spool, they ain't stopping!🤔😳
Bros done messed up twice
Aren’t u supposed to put mono onto the bottom first
What if my baitcaster doesn't have any holes in the spool?
Use a spool knot, it’ll work way better.
I literally just spool up an old ugly stick baitcaster too!
I have that pole
I run it through the hole and tie a uni knot
Use a backing of mono or fluorocarbon. U dont tie braid to the spool.
Yes you do🤦♂️ all professional fisherman do it
This is not the proper way. The proper way is to attach about 15yds of equal strength mono then tie the braid to that. This way it is physically impossible for the line to spin on the spool.
Or could do a simple slip knot
That aldabaren is too nice to be paired up with that ugly stick. I'm hoping it's just for instructional purpose.
It’s a rod but either the spooler on it just for spooling up your reels it took a second to see what it was because I was about to say the same thing you did

You don't need tape if you know how to tie or not

That’s what she said
Thanks for the info definitely will use it
I lnownits probably just to spool but a metanium on a pretty stick is vrazy haha
This is the richman way, electrical tape? Full spool of braid? Scissors? Man I use the cheapest backing and teeth!

Just put the line through the hole of the spool and reel in. Done
This is a much easier and in my experience better way to put braid on a reel than using a mono or floro backer
They don't all have holes. Not at all helpful.
Or tie a uni knot🤦
Tie the anaconda knot man you get no slip
Don’t do this
Please nobody do this this is the worst setup ever
Can tell you're a true fisherman with saying please ✊🏼
I've been doing it for a while now and never had my line slip. Just make sure the tape is on all the way and aint gunna fall off then put your braid on super tight and it never slips

You don't know how to reel a spin bate reel
This makes no fucking sense
Thats jst not necessary but if thats what you like.
anybody watching, do NOT put the tape, overthinking at it’s finest
