YES!!!! And don't scrimp on the details. We new guys that don't know all the jargon and can't look at a hook and know what size it is or see a lure and know what weight or size it is would be very much thankful!!!!!! It's tough when you've been doing it so long to remember not being second nature. But no detail is too small. I watch your videos with a Word Doc open and go back and watch and pause and watch and pause, trying to get every bit of info written down.!!! Much appreciated!!!!!
A month ago I searched youtube on how to spool braid on a spinning reel. I watched several videos with different methods ranging from putting backing on the reel before spooling the braid to putting electrical tape on the reel before the line. Then I watched, Jordan, and how he does it. Simple, direct, easy, no frills, no bullshit. Have done this method on all of my spinning reels and it works. Thanks, Jordan, for keeping it simple and for educating me on how to do it.
Best beginner video ever. Two hands, no help, no tools. After an hour of struggle, watched this video, spun up in less than 10 minutes and heading out now to the river. Thanks!
Bro this is literally what I needed other you tubers buy like a whole lot of thing they don’t need and this guy just did it with knees legs and hand I respect that. ✊
Have not fished in almost 60 years. Oh and I should tell you. I am a grandma..well gramps and I decided we where going fishing. We are retired living in Florida. So you fish right? So got new poles today and have plans to go to the pier in am. When I notice we have everything but the line on the pole...oh no. Gramps says I can do that 5 mins... Well 30 mins later tells me...take them back. There are broke..well the smarty pants that I am ..i say let me see the pole..now I am reading and getting confused. Reel, bail , brake, this bail has to be up no down. ???? First I asked like a good wife for explainions of these words. Lol .. Reading was going to be best way to learn.. And watching.. You did a fabulous job I laugh and giggled , learned played with the reel up and down the bail, line, Had not mastered in any way but feel much better about fishing in the morning. So kudos to you and this video. It is great for us beginners. By the way I stopped fishing when I found out fish had teeth back in the early 60s . caught a bluecolored fish this was up north finger lakes in NY. Was told it was a blue pike. Some are yellow..and I caught him with a rubber worm. Must have done something right I had hooked him good. But did not have pliers to grab the hook so I was going to just wiggle the hook to see if I could get the hook off. As I was just about to stick my fingers near his mouth I heard someone yelling STOP..STOP. I looked around saw no one looking at me so started again..and again NO NO STOP BUT much louder now..about 5 seconds later the man came up to me and said " I am so glad you have all your fingers.." Looking at this man said what?? Fish don't have fingers! Ohhh the man said.Then he stick his fingers in the fishes eyes and I was told..to get a piles mouth open you do this...yucky..but ok..amazed at all the teeth in that mouth.the man grabbed his pliers and got the hook out.After laughing cause he found my rubber worm amazed I caught anything.but he weight the pike it was 31 inches long and I forget the weight . But there was enough fish. For 5 people to all have 2or 3 large pieces each. But never fished after that day. Until now I am going to try to relax and fish for a few hours or more.. Thanks again for your videos I will be watching more tomorrow. Got to learn ! Lol
Never talked about which side the spool should be laid on - and how to verify that you don't need to flip it. I wet a paper towel and hold the light tight while reeling it on
I just watched another video that suggests the 2-5 knot to put on the reel. I'm glad to see you use a regular old fashioned overhand knot. Much simpler and less time consuming.
Again with the great info... common sense but for those who don't know how very great explanation Jordan... keep up the great videos and hope to see you one of these days on the river... and tight lines
Love the basics. What diversifies your product is the education. It’s like how Johnny Bench used to teach us how to field a ball in the Saturday episode immediately after This Week In Baseball. Addicted fishing is like Johnny Bench and the Baseball Bunch and how he, Tommy LaSorda, and the Chicken would teach you how to do the basics like run out of a pickle or play pepper. You can watch great baseball and bass pro fishing all day or you can watch ADX and also learn how to try and fish well, too. Only, instead of running to the Woolworths to buy Topps baseball cards, I end up buying ADX worms and jigs that I won’t need in my part of town til March. But, I love looking at them.
This is the easiest video I've seen yet on how to put line on a spinning reel. I was anxious after watching the other videos...too much information! Thanks for making this easy enough for a 68 year old woman to understand.
Nice With the knot on the spool...I actually take the braid and put it on an old reel/rod then transfer the line from that one to my actually rod/reel....reason for that is I can set the drag on old rod and reel so the line is spooled onto the new one nice and tight...braid tends to sink into the spool if it isn't spooled fairly tight
THANK YOU! GREAT VIDEO. I watched easily 5 or 6 other videos and none of them were as clear and concise as this video. The only thing I would add is making sure the direction that the line is unspooling is the same as the reel is spinning so you don't get twists. This video was the one that actually got me all set up and ready for fishing this weekend. Thank you!
Great vid, straight forward and simple to understand. I’m just getting back into fishing (fished a lot with my dad) haven’t fished much in at least 20 years. Watching all sorts of good RU-vid vids to learn and refreshen my memory. Thanks!
I've been fishing 🐟🎣 since I'm a teenager, now 60 and never had to load a spinning reel. Thnx for your expert advice. Oh. I love your tip about folding the end down in case you drop the line, it won't run back down to the reel. Thats REEL good advice@ happy fishing! We are in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio
First video that came up was like 25 minutes long of a british guy and he did like 4 stupidly complicated slip knots and all kinds of other BS, glad I closed that shit and came here, thank you!
Excellent tutorial. I learned how to spool up a reel out of necessity when a Steelie ran my spool completely out and snapped me off on the Manistee River here in MI.
Great video. First time doing a spinning reel and this should help. So many different options for knots like the simple approach, going to give it a try!
Like this approach, though I have also seen other fishing channels that say to wind on flourocarbon or mono first so the braid has something to grab. They've said that just winding on straight braid, you take a chance of the braid not grabbing the spool. What are your thoughts on this?
god damn thank you finally a real video step by step and explantion on how to put on the real, close up to so you see how the line is wrapped around the machnics. I was tired of other videos were they don't zoom in and do a bs video.
Nicely done overall but I do have two comments. First. For braid it is best to mostly fill the reel with cheap mono and have the last 100 yards or so be braid. Saves a ton of money and sometimes braid can slip on the spool. If doing straight braid putting some tape (like duct tape) on the spool first gives the braid something to bite into. Second (as mentioned by others), when putting line on a spinning reel (worse for mono) you need to figure out which side of the spool to have up. Easiest way is to turn the spool one way, reel in 20' or so and pull off a couple of feet off the reel to check for twist. If you don't have any twist you are good to go. If the line is twisty coming off then flip the spool do another 20' and check. One way should be good.
When i use braid, I always tie on a mono backing (just enough to cover the spool with 1 layer) ive found it never slips vs when i dont tie one sometimes it slips. Preferance🤷♀️
If the line were to slip, do you have to buy new line? Or can you salvage it? I’m new to fishing and if I need to buy mono or electric tape I will 😂 but I would love to just spool it up and fish
@@tm.7920 if i want to take the line off of a reel for what ever reason and i want to save the line, i will tie the line to another reel and reel it onto that reel. Hope this makes sense
Great video I think you need to really emphasize how tight it needs to be to the reel because I divine just slightly loose I guess. I thought my drag was broken on 3 of my reels but turns out I need to tie em tighter
Another great video I have just one question did you tie the braid to the lure or did you back up the braid with some monofilament line ? Thanks for the great information
He definitely tied a leader of flourocarbon on. See how he bit the tag end off when he tied the lure on. Especially with trout, you need that clear leader
YES - see that sometimes on youtube videos - I don't know if they make true left handed spinning reels - you can switch the handle but the bail would not be right
Question guys! I see a lot of people using roughly 60/40 braid to fluorocarbon.. I understand using a leader but what’s the point of just having all that braid under if you’ll never see it?
So is it better to tie off right to the spinner? I've always tied spinners to a barrel swivel and spoons to just a snap? Mainly so I could just cycle through different lures to see what the fish are biting or to switch to bait if need be, Always just figured with the lure moving at a fairly decent pace the fish will just react fast and not really get a good look at it? Or is more to do with the action you get on the spinner?
So, I just went trout fishing over father's day weekend with my 85 year old uncle. I followed your setup from the Trout 101 video for 3 different poles. The uncle has been fishing for like 60 years, and would not stop commenting on how my braided line setup was wrong. He kept complaining that the line was too heavy and that I wouldn't be able to cast as far as with lightweight mono line. I enjoyed fishing, but did notice that my line wasn't travelling as far on the cast. Any thoughts?
I notice in all of your videos where you spool up line you always put the braid directly on the spool. What are your thoughts on using a mono backing? A lot of information out there says braid will slip or dig into itself when put directly on the spool.
I don’t get what I’m doing wrong when I start reeling, the spool looks like a really compact spring and eventually the spool just stops going on the reel. This is the second time trying it and nothing works
