3 MISTAKES made when SPOOLING UP LINE! 

I love the wrap on your truck and boat honoring GOD and showing your patriotism. I really love the bible verses. I am a disabled vet from Iraq and thankfully came home with all limbs and everything works. I had the words Psalms 91 on each side of the hood of out Het truck in 2004, mainly Fallujah and other areas. While that was on my truck we never got shot at or ambushed. Good thing as we had no uparmor on the truck. After command ordered us to remove it....we got ambushed, shot at and IED'd quite a bit. Coincidence? I don't think so. I take other vets out fishing and make lures I give to vets and high schoolers.

Just use that old crusty line and add leader with FG. Good to go. Same line different day. Good Luck my Bro.

Shimano reels and FG knot for sure! Thanks for the tips and congrats!

Good tips. One thing k would say is how much line is on the spool has zero impact on gear ratio. But it does change inches per handle turn. Two different things.

I have seen tons of people make the mistake of putting braid directly on the spool. They think that something is wrong with the drag until I show them what is going on. I have used a pc of black tape around the spool before and that works. Can't wait for the new braid to hit the shelves. It looks perfect for my wacky and neko rig fishing. Alway hard to see the sink rate on them.

Your method of spooling line on a casting reel says to not have the line spool flat on its side,but to have it spinning on its axis. That's because the line is coming off the spool vertically and going on your casting reel vertically. If the spool was flat, the line would be coming off the spool horizontally and going on your reel vertically,causing a twist with every turn of your reel handle. Then you say to spool the braided line onto a spinning reel the same way. Now you have the line coming off the spool vertically and going on your spinning reel horizontally. That's putting a twist in your braided line with every turn of the reel handle. The spool needs to be flat with the line coming off the spool in the same direction as it is being wound on the spinning reel spool. An easy way to see if the line is coming off the spool is to wind the reel a few times and let the line go slack. If the line twists, turn the spool over and the line will then be coming off the spool in the same direction as it's being turned by the bail on the horizontal spinning reel spool. Braided line will withstand twists to some extent, but mono or Fluro will be ruined if you use your method of spooling a spinning reel.

How about a treble hook break down?

Enjoyed this one.. good advice, thanks Matt

What do you do with the little bit of line you have left over on the spool, braid for instance?

I use the Shimano Vanford 2500 and I love Seaguar InvizX and Tatsu for my leader lines and I will definitely get their new braid 👍 I watched you get on that flurry today, and it was 😢that they shut down the last 90 minutes😮 Still had a great tournament and looking forward to the next BPT….🍀🎣🍀

Thanks Matt

Good video but what causes my line sometimes to pile up more on one side than the other ty

I appreciate the hint about a simple knot between the braid and backing. I use a uni knot which can be a pain. I have always been told fir casting reels have the line come over the spool and spinning under the spool. Is that correct ir doesn't it matter. Congratulations on your stage 2 performance. It was fun watching. I hope to meet you at redcrest.

I attach my backing to braid after i have run the backing through the guides. I am doing this wrong then....thanks

good info

Electric tape is the deal. Rubber property provides non-slip surface when li e’s wraps around itself.

🍺Congrats on the last 3 minutes of catches to get into the Championship round. Go win the thing🤑. Wheeler and Lucas are on em.🤠

I knew there was a reason. You got the wrong hand on the handle.😂😂

I believe you said the braid you put in the spinning reel was "16 equivalent ". Was it 16# test?

Bit my line for years until I finally chipped a tooth!
