all right so to get this started you
guys what we have here is a 15 pound
braided tough line
this works the same for monofilament or
braid or fluorocarbon
or any size of line whether it's 15
pound or 100 pound braid but what we're
gonna do to start we're gonna take this
out of the package
we're gonna grab our line i'm gonna set
my spool down on the ground here
and what i'm going to do is i'm going to
feed this through this top guide i don't
need to run it through all my guides to
start with
makes it a little bit easier to manage
and it makes me have to do less work to
get started
so i'm going to put this between my
knees make sure this bail is open a big
mistake a lot of people make is i'll
leave that bail closed
they'll put their line on there and they
go to start reeling and there's nothing
there to grab it
with that little rolling pin so i'm
going to open my bail
and to get myself started i'm just going
to lay that end
lay the middle of that line on there i'm
gonna wrap it around three or four times
here
just like so so what i'm gonna do to
secure this on there's just a couple
overhand knots so i'm just gonna grab
that line
take my tag in wrap it through that
hole that i made twice and then pull it
tight
do it again wrap it two or three times
through that
eye that i created pull it tight
make sure to get it nice and tight there
else that line won't grab onto your
spool
when you start to spin it
grab my trusty pair of gerber scissors
here
they're made for cutting braid work
really well now what i'm going to do i'm
going to close
that bail get that right in that little
rolling pin there so now that i have
that secured on my bail
i'm going to grab my line right below
that bottom guide
and i'm going to hold it ever so
slightly with a little bit of pressure
so that i'm not
getting a loose line on my reel here if
you reel it on there loose
and just pull it off of that you're
going to get tangles and you're going to
have a really loose setting
on that line on your spool and what's
going to happen is you're going to go to
cast in big chunks of that line is going
to come off and it's not going to cast
well so i'm going to hold a little bit
of pressure with my fingertips and i'm
just going to slowly reel that line
up and down up and down until this
thing's full
[Music]
you don't have to do this super slow you
guys as long as you're holding that
slight resistance with your with your
fingertips up here
you're gonna be all right if you do this
nice and fast
so one thing that's really crucial when
doing this is you don't want to overfill
your spool
but you also don't want to under fill it
the reason that the spool is sized the
way it is and you put the right amount
of line on
it is it makes it cast better so by
doing so and by having it at that
perfect area
and if you lose a lot of line going and
putting more line on your reel
is going to be crucial because it's
going to help you cast if you have too
little a line on there your line is
going to hang up on your spool
as it starts to cast because it has to
go across that big head of that spool
if you have too much line all that
line's gonna fly off even before you
cast as soon as you open your bail
so having that perfect amount of line on
there is very very crucial in doing this
don't try to salvage your line too much
and end up giving yourself a bad spool
so right about there is just about
perfect
some reels actually have a little line
on here that show you where you want to
be
but the way i kind of gauge it is if
you're just inside that little spool
curve here that little angle on the top
of that spool again designed to let that
line come off there freely
if it's all the way out here to the
outside rim of it all that line is going
to be coming off without any resistance
from that little angle of that spool so
that right there is exactly what it
should look like a perfect spool
not too much not too little just like
baby bears porridge
i'm gonna go ahead and use my trusty
scissors here cut that braid
now i'm gonna open my bail up pull this
the rest of the way through my guides
and get to fishing so a little trick i
like to use when i run this through my
guides
so that if i drop my line it doesn't go
all the way back through my fishing rod
especially if i'm using a longer one
is i like to fold that line over in half
just like so
pinch it tight so you have a little bit
of a loop there so that way if i drop my
line and it falls back through there you
can see it gets caught
and it doesn't slide all the way back
down to my reel and i have to go back
and forth over and over again having my
buddies laugh at me while i'm over here
trying to line up my reel
and get my rod ready
[Music]
there it is you guys trout rod
ready to go fishing all right so now
that we have that all rigged up
ran through all our guides we have this
beautiful little trout stream behind us
so i'm just going to add a little
spinner here
run my line through and just do a normal
fisherman's knot spinners work great for
catching trout or salmon or steelhead or
bass whatever you can find
in your local area wherever you're at in
the world what i'm going to do there i'm
gonna run that through the guide
and so i wrapped it around about six or
seven times created that little eye
right above the eye of my lure
i'm gonna run my line right through that
little eye that i've created just like
so
i'm gonna hold the tag in that i've
created and i'm gonna slowly pull that
tight
just like so trim my tag end
just like that and we're ready to fish
oh that was a giant one
oh
got him
cute little thing
there you have it you guys little baby
fish
so that everybody is how you
successfully put line on your reel for
any style of fishing
on any size of rod or any size of line
