How to spool a spinning reel avoiding line twist? Spooling the line on a reel without twisting may seem like an easy task, but not everyone knows how to spool fishing line on the reel correctly and to avoid twisted line in fishing later. In fishing, you may not even understand why your line is twisted and loops are formed, to avoid line twist on spinning reel you need to use correct way to spool the reel.
First, I will tell you and show you how to tie fishing line to the spool (fishing reel). I will show you how to make self-tightening knot. For attaching fishing line to the spool I will use Arbour knot.
I hope this video will be useful for both beginners and experienced fishermen, helping to avoid unpleasant situations during fishing due to a twisted fishing line. This will help to avoid line twist on spinning reel.
By watching this video you will learn:
• How to correctly tie the line to the fishing reel (tying the line on the reel)
• What knots to use when tying the line to the reel spool (braided line, fluorocarbon, mono line)
• How to spool the line on the reel so that it is tightly and evenly wound and does not form knots.
• How to prevent line twist, how to spool braided line on reel, how to spool baitcasting reel

  • how was this easier to understand than native english speakers great video no yapping
  • @sovaine
    Excellent video, I've been lining my spools wrong for years looking at this, I'm 63 so you can teach an old dog new tricks 👍
  • I have an electric line spooler where I can mount the spinning reel spool in it and have zero twists on the spool. You don't want it that way because when you make a cast the line will twist 1 time for each loop that comes off the spool leaving you with a couple hundred twists between the spool and your lure. Then when you reel it back onto the spool those twists come back out...mostly. Every time you lift your lure out of the water to cast you loose a couple of those twists and if you get a line break you lose them all. In short order, the first hundred foot that comes off your spool ends up twisted on the spool anyway. I prefer to have my twists on the spool and not between the spool and my next PB. Tight lines!
  • Thanks bro. Your are correct, you be surprised to here how people. Using your skill know, no matters how sharp skill your on everything, but you always learn news things, even if your walking with cane you still learn , Bro don't worry about those (Dumb comments ) team work are always the winners bro

    Reel spooling is the most misunderstood aspect of angling. And this video proves it. 😢
  • @joewoodchuck3824
    Another point is that monofilament has memory. That's an issue in both winding and casting. Fireline doesn't have much memory so winding and casting isn't nearly as dependent on winding procedure. It's also more sensitive to fish activity. Fireline costs more but it's worth it. JMHO, FWIW, YMMV, etc.
  • @Elrond_Hubbard1
    If you already have your reel wound and having issues, just have somebody walk off all the line down to the spool and with one hand keep the line tight while reeling it all back on. It'll get rid of all the twists.
  • @mikeward7290
    Pro tip. Remove spool and place in hot water until cooled. It puts new memory in the line.
  • Wind it straight off the spool, this is correct. If you do it off the side of the spool you are adding a twist per loop as you cast
  • The winding procedure is correct. However there is no reason to tie any kind of spool knot to attach the line. Just touch the end of the line to the center of the arbor, then place a drop or two of superglue on it(I use Zap-A-Gap). Wait 30 seconds, then reel your line on. Works on any spinner from UL to big surf and offshore reels and on aluminium and POM spools.

    The best way to spool yr fishing reel is put the spool of string in a plastic 5 gal bucket, it works great.
  • @CplLe52irRC
    I remember pissing my late father-in-law off when I'd spool it "wrong" but I'd let all the line out without anything at the end of the line while trolling and then reel it back in. He said I was wasting time but got really pissed when I asked him how much he was paying me per hour?

    Nice spooling video. My recommendation, just do fishing videos with natural nature background, bird sounds, water sounds, no voice over.
