The Label name relates to my Grandad’s amature radio call sign.

He used to have a little room where he would tune in and communicate with people as far away as Russia. This was at a time before the internet was widely available so all his communication was processed in Morse. When I would stay over I would awaken in the night hearing bleeps, Morse code and synthetic waves emitting from his room full of oscillators, amplifiers and early computers.

So when I started to gain interest in electronic music and starting a label his signal ID instantly sprung to mind as a name.

I always loop the end around 3 times before I finish the knot to prevent the line from "slipping" on the spool, (especially a problem if you are using braided line) and make sure you orient/tie the second knot so that the line doubles back on itself as you start to load it onto the spool. It should cinch itself snug onto the spool. If you have the line coming out through that second knot without doubling back, your line won't grab the spool but will slip around the spool.

I have an electric line spooler which enables you to remove the spool and load the line without twists. But it is short lived at best because when you cast, the line coming from the spool gets a twist for every loop. That puts hundreds of twists between your reel and the end of your line. When you lift your lure out of the water to make a cast, several twists will come out...especially after a line break. In short order you end up with the first hundred foot or so getting twisted onto the spool anyway. Let the spinning reel be a spinning reel and load it as you would a baitcaster applying tension by squeezing the filler spool as it rotates and not by holding the line. Loaded this way puts the twists on the spool and not between the reel and end of line. The twists come out when casted and then put back on when reeled in. Tight Lines!

Thank you so much for this video. I watched this for the first time and got it right away. You made it super simple to follow. When I started reeling my line in it didn't start wrapping the line around the reel. I stuck a tiny piece of tape across the line to the reel and it started reeling in no problem. Also I noticed when I started reeling in my line it was harder to reel. So I flipped the spool of line over and started reeling and it was smooth as butter. I dunno if this helps any other first timers but I thought I would comment.

After you finish spooling the line on your reel, tie the line around the line holder on the reel, then loosen the drag until the main reel comes off. Take that piece with the line spooled on, and put it in hot water for 10 min, or until the hot water turns room temp. That removes all memory from how you bought it and forms memory to your reel.

JesterJayke

4y↑78

Quick tip folks, if you remove your reel after spooling it and securing the line to the holder, you can submerge your line for about 10 minutes in warm/hot water. When you remove it, the line will then cool back down to the new shape and retain that memory without jumping off the spool constantly.

@Ethan H braid doesn't stretch, mono does.

ARCSTREAMS

@100GTAGUY yeah i think that is the one i heard about reel magic, barbasol of fishing lines hahahahaha, so did it help you with the fluro? as for me i never bothered with the expensive braid or fluro all my life i used good mono and i stick with what i know or been taught to use

100GTAGUY

@ARCSTREAMS there's a few name and store brand reel conditioners out there, the most famous one I can think of is Reel Magic it's like the Barbasol of the line care world.

Never even looked at em in the 20+ odd years of my life I've been fishing until just a few days ago when I needed to respool my reel again after trying some flouroclear some months back and just being absolutely disgusted by how much it would twist and snarl. Sitting at the river cussing and hollering "I wouldn't even use this shit to hang myself right now out of spite with how crap it is" is no way to be so I thought I'd try this line conditioner spray out. It's basically just white mineral oil with some additives for the most part and about ten bucks a can depending on brand.

@Ethan H well that was some trash braid cuz braid isn't supposed to stretch look it up and you don't have to get an attitude either 😒 smh

galash5

@Ethan H you’re using shit braid if it stretches. Braid is designed to be thin, strong, and stretch free. Many anglers use it specifically for the sensitivity it offers as it doesn’t stretch.

"Make sure the line is coming off in the direction we talked about earlier."

Hold your rod up at eye level. Look down download the rod (tip is farthest away from you.).
Crank the spinner and pay attention to the direction the bail rotates (clockwise or counterclockwise).

Set the spool of new line on the ground so the line comes off rotating in the same direction.

Your welcome.

Great totorial, I prefer braided and I've read you should double uni-knot about 3' of at least 10# mono (same with baitcasting reels) first, then use my braid which I prefer. Any advice re: what I've read, etc?

After spooling on new line. I always put on a swivel and lure and cast out several times. The swivel will spin and take out any line twists you may have after spooling on the new line. Has always worked for me.

100GTAGUY

I've done this, as well as just plain fishing with swivels and seem to always still have twists in my line. only ever started having this problem when trying some flouroclear this year. Though it's been a while since I last spooled a reel so I may have done something slightly wrong.

Richard Frehs

Just what a newbie was looking for! Thanks!

I like to spray the line on the spool with line treatment before I put it on my reel. The little bit of lubricant makes it run more smoothly through your hand and cuts down on friction which can damage line.

Jason D

10y

FYI - If you ran the line through the guides and under the bail then there would be no reason to clip the line by the reel and restring it. Just pointing out what I usually do is run everything properly before tying the line to the reel so once I'm done I cut the line by the spool and put on my rig.

I use a Shimano FX 4000FB, with 25 lb. test Powerpro braided line. I tie it to the little triangle tab at the base and just spool it up using a little tension on the line and I've never had a problem with the line getting tangled on the spool. I've caught some nice trout and lots of catfish with no problems.

I've only been fishing for about 4 years, but my reel setup has worked well for me. The best thing I've noticed about using braided line is the fact that I can fill up the spool till it's almost full and never worry about casting too far and the tab possibly breaking off. I guess that's the beauty of braided line. From my experience they're all basically the same thickness, no matter what the test rating is. I'm still pretty much an amateur when it comes to fishing, but I try to have fun.

Ronald Cox

10y

I have been fishing and using spinning reels for 30 years and have never thought of this...That's a really good idea i can see that working just fine because i don't tie my line to the spool anyway...I will try this the next time i spool one up.

Stylis

3y↑2

The knot demonstration really shines here, thanks!

Kewonerdk

A good a idea, is to line your bail up with the line on the spool, so if you tie your line to the top of the spool, it has to be in bottom position, so the line is in a 90 decree angel.

David Randall

Very helpful video. Thank you Casey.

Amphay

10y↑4

The line MUST come off the spool in a straight line onto your reel, else you're going to get twists every time. You can use a line slightly larger than your reel's rating as long as it's spooled onto your reel correctly. Simply take a pen or pencil and stick it through the spool. Tape the pencil between two chairs and reel the string in steadily.

The Equine Alchemist

Watched a couple videos to see if some guidance was missing here, and it was. However, this was very helpful as I spooled my first reel yesterday. This video definitely needs to clarify the directions of the lines and the detailed description of the snapped tag. Otherwise, thanks!

Such a simple task, and you blew it. “Put the line on like we mentioned earlier”.

Colobisman

2y↑1

I caught that too. He should have said to make sure that the line comes off the spool in a counterclockwise direction since the bail is also turning in a counterclockwise direction.

James Ritchie

8y↑2

Doesn't the test a reel will handle change with the type of line used? Braided line is only about half the diameter of the same test in monofilament, so you should be able to double the reel rating based on this alone.

Les Philip

11y↑1

I agree with jwubker regarding the line direction of the line when spooling. This is a critical issue. In addition, it was my understanding that using braid was a better option for a spinning reel over fluorocarbon and monofilament. I use 40 lb. braid that has the line diameter as that of 8 lb. mono and it works great in the lily pads down here in Central Florida. Other than that, it was a good video and appreciate the effort.

100GTAGUY

that braided is good don't get me wrong, but man does it like to cinch right into hardwood snags here in these mountain lakes/rivers in the rockies.

Leon Hall

The line rating on the spool has nothing to do with casting distance. It has to do with how much line you can get on that spool and what amount of drag the reel can comfortably handle

MrBeane13

11y

That's pretty heavy line for a spinning reel. I would suggest, if you're using mono, to switch to braided line because it is thinner, stronger and severely cuts down on line twist with a spinning reel. I use 40# Daiwa Samurai braid with 8# diameter and 20# Power Pro with 6# diameter and I haven't had any problems with them. Also you probably spooled too much line on your reel or spooled it in the wrong direction.

I finally got it doing this just remember to put your line through the first eyelet. I held the line spool between my shoes while reeling.

Quoting Dustin B :
"Make sure the line is coming off in the direction we talked about earlier."

Hold your rod up at eye level. Look down download the rod (tip is farthest away from you.).
Crank the spinner and pay attention to the direction the bail rotates (clockwise or counterclockwise).

Set the spool of new line on the ground so the line comes off rotating in the same direction.

I wish it were as simple as tying on my favorite lure and going fishing. Conditions are rarely favorable to be throwing a spook or a big swimbait. And now that I think about it, probably my top 5 favorite baits wouldn’t be ideal for a spinning setup.

Lemurai

I honestly hate those, not sure how many I’ve stomped on and thrown in the lake or nearby trash can from getting frustratingly tangled off of the easiest cast. These things try my patience in a way I never thought possible as I’ve never erupted in a fit of rage at anything or anyone else. Weird how these lines trigger me, but I’ll never use them again under any circumstances.

Richard

10y

i personally think there are far more efficient and stronger ways of securing the main line to the spool and there were several other topics i feel should have been addressed like spooling different types of line like but that's just what i would have done. also those line ratings are great for fresh water but when we fish salt water using spectra lines we often double the strength its more about line diameter.

The real comedian "Candylady"

10y

Yes, plus like starting from the center, and open up the bail!

Alex Heisig

I like how you cast with your back facing the camera so that we don't see the line unravel and lose "our favorite lure"

Troy Brashear

Thanks! This video was very helpful!

MadMaxJuggernaut

I wish someone would make a video of how to setup the spool up close and explain what to do if thing X or Y happens. I've watched over 10 videos, spent hours and it keeps getting stuck behind the spool.

BlackandTanMutt

If you spool it too tight you get line twist, if you don't spool it tight enough you get cobwebs. I have this problem every time I spool a new reel. Just going to take it to a sporting goods store, they do it for a couple bucks, and I wont have to re-spool until next season.

Once the knot has been tied, any reason to be concerned if it rotates around the spool after pulling tight, if you are pulling on it? I’ve heard some people tie a piece of mono on first.

Use a small piece of electrical tape to make sure it doesn't spin around the spool.

It is infect an opposite reef knot ,which either he shouldn't do in order to get arbor knot

That is what I thought. The knot is so easily recognisable. Like the bowline, it has one of the nicest knot patterns as it is cinching. Good call mate.

He doesn’t say it in the video but how you will wanna do it is if your bail spins counterclockwise make the line come off the spool counterclockwise or the other way around clockwise if that makes any sense

@James Ritchie you want it to come off counterclockwise so the line is less likely to twist
