How to tie(attach) the fishing line to the reel?

Answer 1

Assuming it's a spinning reel, flip the bail open, feed the line through the eyelets, tie a slip knot in the end of the line, slip it over the spool and draw tight. Close the bail and use one hand to add a little tension to the line and turn the handle to wind it in.

Answer 2

Use a Trileen knot to tie it to the spool of the reel. If you do not know what that is go to a fishing store and look for either the red or blue Trileen Line Box. There is a picture on how to tie a Trileen Knot. I have used this for many years and have never had any problems with either blue gills or salmon. Have fun fishing.

Answer 3

You've gotta tie it as tight as you can, and then wind it by hand for a few turns, then you can use the handle to wind it and it will work fine. If you fill the spool up too much then the reel won't cast as well.

Answer 4

you can use a slip knot, tighten it down good and snug and start wrapping the line around the reel
it won't come untied and can move around the reel if all the line is let out..

Answer 5

Use the same knot that you use to tie hooks to the line!
