how do you spool a spinning reel?

Answer 1

I've done this hundreds of times but trying to explain it is difficult, its easy though. Tie the line around the spool making sure its on the inside of the bail so when you reel it'll take line. Most of my reels have a little clip thingy you can put the end of the line in to help hold it. As you reel make sure theirs tension on the line so it'll go on tight, otherwise it won't cast well. Don'tput to much or to little on, I keep it about an 1/8" from the top of the spool.

Answer 2

First strip the old line from your reel. Then take the time and pull the reel apart and actually clean and lube it. If you haven't used it is several years I'm sure it could use it. Then put the reel back together and attach it to the pole. Feed the new line through at least one eye on the pole, and tie it to the reel. From there just start reeling, making sure that the line is not bunching in one place. Also do no completely fill the reel. There is no need to load it more than 3/4 full. Then you're done.

Answer 3

you should spool the line on the same as it comes off the reel so that the line is going on the same as it coming off spool. I have always spooled the spool then let it soak in hot water for a hour. when I say hot I mean faucet hot not boiling. this will relax the line and reduce some of the line memory and make it come off more relaxed instead of kinky. good luck

Answer 4

i agree with obryan214,go about a 1cm from lip of spool. i find soaking in water/washing up liquid 20 min before putting on spool best,degreases line.
