Open! there isnt any cap

Answer 1

It sounds like one of two things, either the line isn't tightly secured to the spool and it's all just spinning around the spool or the drag is set so lightly that the spool is just spinning around.

Either set your drag correctly or re-spool your line.

(If you got the reel used, this would be a good time to buy some new line and spool it up instead of re-spooling the old line.)

See links below for info on setting up your reel, including such topics as knots, line, and drag.

Answer 2

First make certain you have the reel attached properly to the pole, and the fishing line is threaded through the poles' guides.

If you are good to go at that point, you can either attach a spinner or a fishing weight near the end of the fishing line. That will make the line taught throughout the pole and when you reel the line, it won't bunch up.

Either that or you can guide the fishing line through your fingers by placing your hand above the reel and let the fishing line go through your fingers with tension.

I hope I understood your question, and, let the fishing stories begin!

Answer 3

Connecting two lines together always will slow the line down, no matter what knots you use, because it simply catches on the yes of the rod, my suggestion is buy some new line and re-fill your reel, also other problems with joining line is that it can lead to a weak spot in the line that can cause snap-offs when casting and also come undone should you get snagged or hook a good fish.

Answer 4

before you reel get some slack on the string and reel until the line goes around the spool it will catch after 2 or 3 turns. After it catches then put some tension on the line and reel on the desired amount of string.

Answer 5

The knot to the line is the answer. When you tie the line to the reel you should use a knot that dosen't slip. Some reels have a knob that you tie the line to. The reels that don't, I like to use a hang man's noose knot. That usually holds. If knots isn't your forte then use three or four granny knots; that should do the trick.

Answer 6

The fishing pole has guides for the line that look like circles or loop attached to the pole. They are usually made of some kind of metal. Put the line through them as you would thread a needle. After you have done this attach the cork, sinker, and hook . Bait the hook. You may also use plugs or flies (made of feathers or some similar material) to attract the fish.

Answer 7

Do you have an open faced reel or closed? (Has a cap over the top w/ line coming out of the top)

Answer 8

It sounds like you need to get a new reel, one that's close faced. If you don't want to do that, take your pole to a bait shop, and see if they can restring the reel for you.

Answer 9

tie the end of the line to something back up releasing all the line set the drag real in the line as you walk toward what ever you have it tied to keeping a little bit of pressure on it

Answer 10

the line has come off the reel m,echanism you need to totallu re thread it =]
