Some people have disabilities and need this kind of pole and even some adults use this that are new to fishing... so don't assume they are just for kids
I’m 23 and just starting to get into fishing. Nobody ever showed me how to do anything and I’m having to figure it out on my own, and your video has been a giant help. Thank you so much
Single mom here... I don't know much about how to fish other than casting and my 12 yr old daughter loves to fish. We've bought poles, learned to bait and with handy girly gadgets (hook removers, rubber gripping mits so I don't have to touch the flopping, slippery fish, nets, etc) we've done alright along the years, but have never really learned these how-to's. Somehow we've ended up w several empty reels when our lines broke or acted funky. I've just gone and bought new ones 😂. Thanks for the great tutorial bc i just respooled her favorite reel w your video, and she's going to think I'm the coolest Mom ever 😎😅.
I'm not sure what your current skill level is, so please don't take offense at my suggestion. But here is a basic fishing rig that will catch just about anything that swims. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jHnJ9RK6FOg.html
I fished over 20 years ago, got away from it. My reels had old brittle line on them and the grandkids want to fish! I switched out 3 zebco reels and a Shakespeare 'Scooby Do ' kids reel with your help today! Thank you.
Really enjoyed this, you step by step process makes it very easy. I did have to watch the party about the slip knot several times, though I did finally figure it out. This was the best instructional video I’ve found yet. We will definitely be checking out more if your videos. Thank you.
I'm 17 years old and this took me some time but I managed to do it in the end. I've watched so many videos but none were as helpful as yours. Thankyou very much.
I watched 5 videos before yours & this was the first one i could see how to do the knot. Thank you!! My boss gave me his inexpensive Zebco that's been in his garage for who-knows-how-long late last year. i only just realized what line memory is & that's one of the reasons I've been having such a hard time casting. Now I've got fresh 8# mono on the reel & i did it myself :-D Thank you for your video help!
I’ve tried this a couple of times and not had much luck. Now that I’ve seen it done I’m going to try again. I have several of dad’s old 33’s . I’d love to give one each to my grandkids. Thanks Josh.
Thank you for this video! My dad always handled this part of fishing prep. Sadly he passed away a few months ago before he could show me how to respool a rod myself
This helped a ton! Thank you for putting so many things that the viewers would have trouble with, like seeing the line and so you made it pink, thanks for the help!
I was trying to restring my rod, but my dad said He wouldn’t help me because in”his days,” they learned on their own. So I did what any kid does and went to RU-vid. You helped me out a ton, thanks man!
Aw, in my case, Dad just said it was faster and easier for him to do it that to teach me. He showed me a couple things but I am learning better ways. Kudos for researching it yourself.
The use of the red twine raised this video above the others I watched. Very helpful, but I could not help but chuckle at the cliche of the 3 bass boats sitting outside a mobile home. Yeah, I lived in Arkansas too.
Funny, cowboy, but that's a mobile office building, not our house. My wife purchased that a couple of years ago when she was doing professional photography to store her gear and do her editing.
Lol, I use my kayak unless I am with my kids. Was using one of those 'fishing tubes' with the seat for a whhile. But our local lake has a couple 'dead spots' that hang onto you. I had to get a guy in his boat toss me a line to pull me loose. No matter how hard I kicked, I could not get loose. Another time when I got stuck, i hooked onto a bass and in the ensuing battle , the fish pulled me free of the dead zones grasp. I switched to a kayak after that. Plus, having a stringer with 2 big catfish keep swimming up under your legs is NOT FUN!
Thank you sooo sooo much. My kiddos wanted to get into fishing so mommy is all for it. This is definitely a fun learning process for me and them. I appreciate you so much!
Thank you so much I was anxious because I didn’t know how to do this but u helped me so much now I can go fishing with my friends this weekend thank you
Just in time. I just picked up a new 'mini spincast' rod. I took it to the lake, tied on a swivel and a bobber and cast it in. Well, I was thrilled with the cast,,,,,,,until i went to reel in and found out that when it was spooled, it was NOT secured to the reel. Goodby to a swivel, all the line that was on it, and the bobber. I should have used an old bobber. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing away from shore and soon the bobber and line were gone for good. Hopefully a boater will see it and pull it out. I hate finding discarded line and rigs and often take my kayak along the shores and collect all the I can reach. I have been doing this since I saw a bluejay struggle for over 2 hours while people attempted to reach it. It was tangled in line from a rig caught in a tree. Nobody was able to reach it and unfortunately, the bird did die. So, this video came just at the right time. 1 question tho. How long does line stay usable on a spool? I am talking about line that has NOT been used. Its stored inside the house, so temperatures are not extremes and no sun hits the storage box.
You're absolutely right. Drag has never been a high point of spincasting reels. I've always found them to be "sticky" where they'll let out a little bit of line and then hang up for a moment before letting out some more. It's required me to set the drag lower than I would like to avoid breaking my line when a fish suddenly runs.
I only ever used open reel but I still don’t get how with a spincaster how ur supposed to keep the line hooked to cast it so it doesn’t just spin out without pressing the buttom
I found that by leaving the spool of new line in the box allowing to spin inside the box while putting (reeling) new line on the reel keeps you from getting a major headache. :)
I found this same rod and reel in the garbage and I’m trying to figure out how to get the old line off, it’s knotted up and the reel doesn’t come apart.. I guess just keep cutting and pulling
Some better than others. Heavier braid seems to work quite well. I put 30lb on one and it does OK with heavier lures, but if I try to throw something like a round head jig with curly tail grub, it struggles to get any distance.
When braid first started getting popular in the very early 90s, my Grandpa put 40lb braid on a 33 I was using. For a 12 year old, I felt like a pro angler. 😂
@@TheWeekendAngler awesome info thanks again! I’m going to give it a shot. Trying to set up some rigs for my 6 and 8 year old. We may try to experiment with one to see how effective it is.
I'm sure it would work. I use the arbor knot for all my reels just because it will slip on itself until it hits that overhand knot. I'd never thought about using a uni. You've got me wanting to try it now.
Doesn't work, tried that method several times and each time the line coming off the new spool twists up and tangles even if I make sure it is coming off in the same direction. What am I doing wrong?
Try this, it sometimes works: instead of coming off the narrow side of the spool like the line is wound on, point the broad (round) side of the spool towards the reel and let the line come off the end of the spool similar to how a spinning reel casts.
What should I do if the reel when it brings line back in, continues to birdnest every time? This is getting insanely frustrating for me. I have replaced line twice now and it doesn't make a difference. This line is barely a month old and just like the previous line, it continues to bird nest when reeling line in on the inside of the reel and then makes it impossible to cast out after that. I don't have the money and won't for a long while to go and get new reels. I have 2 that are refusing to cast more than about 20 ft. out and one that keeps bird nesting when reeling in.
If a spin cast reel is tangling when reeling it in, it's time to do a thorough inspection for broken parts. Most likely, the pin that extends out of the bail and wraps the line around the spool.
@@mariestoves7653 I'd be happy to. Sometimes it gets difficult to come up with ideas for how to videos. Is there a specific type of real that you would like to see a video on?
You tie a single overhand knot towards the end of the line. Then you tie a single overhand knot around the line, keeping the first overhand knot on the outside of the second. As you pull the slip knot tight around the spool, it is only able to slip until it hits the first knot. I know that explanation is about as clear as mud, so I'll do a video on how to tie it and post it Saturday for you.
I’ve tried this many times from many videos and cannot cast my line after I do. It looks exactly like the video yet when I hit the button to cast, nothing happens :(
I'm new to finishing and believe I bought the wrong type of line for my rod can anybody tell me is there a specific type of rod to add on my spincaster ?
Any good medium or medium heavy action rod around 6' or so will work well for most fish species. As for line, most spincasting reels like 10lb monofilament or 12lb. The heavier the line, the less you'll be able to fit on your reel.
The view was bad. I think it showed the spool turning to allow the line come off which was good but not shown. If the line comes off while the spool is flat on table and not turn the line will be twisted
I put my spool on a wooden dowel and put the dowel betwern some books. Lets the spool release line and I control the tension with my free hand. I leave the reel on the pole and hold it between my knees. One hand to reel and the other hold the pole in front of the reel while controlling line tension.
