What's the best way to string a reel?

Question

Is it best to start the string at the top or at the bottom of the reel? Any suggestions on the type of knot I should use to start it would be helpful too...

Answer 1

It really doesn't matter where u start at. The after you make your knot which your knot can be a regular old knot then have like a pen or pencil stick tho the hole on your spool of line a have someone hold that while you reel the line on to your reel and make sure that you keep your line tight so it doesn't bird nest on you.
