NO MORE TANGLED LINE!!! | How-To Put Line on a Spinning Reel 

Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you.

Great tip been doing it like that for 20 plus years, I do place the spool of line in water while I load the spool, and keep tension with my fingers you get a little wet but you end up with a well loaded reel. Enjoy your videos

First time I’ve ever seen the warm water trick... I will be trying that for sure. Very helpful. Thank you

First time I`ve heard about that & I`m sure it will work. At 79 yrs old it is hard to find something new THANKS

THANK YOU!!!! After taking many years off from fishing, mostly because everything I had was stolen so many years ago it disgusted me, I got back into with spinning reels last year. Towards the end of the year I was having some horrible line issues to which I would strip some line off and start over. I was raised on bait casters and wished I hadn’t picked up a spinning reel, but I did enjoy it a little more until the headaches started to remind me.

the warm water is an amazing trick i used to have so much trouble with new line before , thank you

First time spooling my reel today, with your video it was easy! Thanks

Great video. My son and I are getting on the banks and this helped me immensely

Got my first spinning reel, bought some line and had no idea as to what or how to put the line on. Thank you for your very informative video, I will be putting the line in a minute or two. Thank you!

Good stuff Warm water memory bonus!

The part where you said “no matter what type of line it is, as long as you have the label pointed to the sky, it will come off the proper way” is entirely false. Depending on the manufacturer line is spooled in different directions. Although most are spooled the same, some are not, I’ve seen it. The key is that you want the line to come off counter clockwise.

Thanks for the hot water tip it worked great. It stopped my new line from unspooling evey time I opened the bail. Very frustrating. Thanks again!!!

Hey man, thanks for helping get me started up with my rods this season. I love the way you explain things. So simple and straight up. You made me laugh a lot with the funny was you say things! Anyway, have a great fishing season and good luck out there!

Great video👍 just brought myself a new beach caster, reel and mono , this really helped me. Thanks 😁

Great video. Very descriptive and nice close ups. Going to try this out today on my new reel.

The water trick works great!

thanks Mike, all my years fishing and I rarely closed the bail by hand...makes sense!

Good video, I agree from experience if the line does not come off the spool with the same rotation as the reel it will tend to birdcage and you have a mess, especially if there is any slack on the cast. If you spool in the wrong direction then you can usually put a heavy weight on the line and cast as far as you can, then it tends to reel back on correctly.

Man I never knew about any of these tips. I haven't used spinning reels that much and the main reasons are because of the problems you've shown how to avoid here. Gonna have to give these a try. Thanks for sharing this information bro.

Good information - thanks!

I run my line through the middle of a good size book to keep the tension on it. Works like a charm

I just bought a new Mitchell 300 that I haven't spooled up yet. Thanks for the good information.

Thanks man for the tips!👍

Thanks, great video, to the point with great explanation of why you're doing it, appreciate it.

Very useful and helpful thanks for sharing

Really works thanks ur the best.

Thanks very helpful and informative.

I get a piece of wood with a nail in it, put the spool on the nail laying on the floor. Thread the line through all the eyes. When I'm reeling I lay a book on the line and reel it in naturally and never had a problem.

Simple like I needed. Thank you

Very well explained. Thanks

Thanks man helped out a lot

Thanks for the video!

Thank you!! very easy instructions, AND IT WORKED!!

New idea to me I will try this thanks

Well lucky me i just naturally did that from the get go. I thought most people did this haha. Good to noe i was doing rite as i never really had an issue with line twist, now i noe why. Thanks good vid

Very informative. Thnx

It really helped me

Awesome instruction. Thank you.

Awesome 1st video I've seen where someone did it RIGHT YAY

Thanks for sharing👍

heck yeah, ready to go now

Nice rod, Fenwick Eagle, have a few of them and love them for there versatility,light weight and feel......looks great too!

Because of the size difference in the spools, reel vs new line spool, you will get line twist if you keep spool label up. Just watch the loop coils as you're loading the reel. When you see the coils getting smaller just flip the spool. I do it with my feet. Just keep alternating the spool, label up and label down. Have done it this way for years and don't have a problem with line twist. I hope this helps someone. Great tip on the warm water. I never knew. Tight lines brothers.

Thanks u made it clear and simple

Great tips! The warm water helps alot for sure!

Awesome stuff! I’ll remember to do the water trick!

Awesome video!

Dude the line memory on my spinning reels has been driving me insane for YEARS, and until RU-vid and social media came to pass I never had anyone around me to teach me how to load the reels correctly! Will be redoing all my reels today with your method plus leaving my spool in the warm water while reeling it on like a previous person suggested. Thanks a million for curing my years of anger and frustration!!!

Great tips!

I wouldnt go by labels, just make sure it comes of ccw. I like to throw my spool in a container of hot water and spool it that way. Dont need anyone to hold it or worry about line twist.

Very informative: thank you

Hello! your tutorial helped me solve the problem, very easy and practice , thank you so much , greetings from Chile . Pd. the color reel is very elegant .

Very nicely explained by you thank you dude. Myself from INDIA. Informative video Good.

All I could think of when watching this video was when we bought the new reel for one of the kids and had the shop put it on. Then having to walk ALL the line out so we could reel it up correctly. Fun times.

Thank You. Good Job

Great video

I have, on multiple occasions, seen supply spools (what you buy at the store when you get fishing line) loaded backwards. Most of them seemed to be large spools, like what is used by tackle shops. So, always check the direction the line is coming off the spool. Usually, you'll want the label facing up. But, not always. I think a lot of spools used by tackle shops are loaded differently, but I don't know why.

Awesome idea about line memory brother.. I always get that line flap where the line comes off in huge circles and always causes twist ect... Love your VIDEOS

Great lesson. Understandable common sense.

Last tip is a good one

Very good tips.Nice video with good explanation.Keep the good work

Thanks for this video, now i know why my line get tangled, specially on my spinning reel.

I love that reel

Great info. Big👍

awesome very helpful thank you.

I appreciate the detailed explanation. I have fished 30+ years with baitcast, Zebco's and fly reels. I recently bought a spinning reel and spooled it just as one would a baitcaster. Got to the lake and within 10 minutes I was cussing it due to twisted line. Now I'm going outside to get it from the building and re-spool it. Thanks.

Dont depend on the spool label to be on the same side of the spool for all lines. Pay attention so the line comes off of the spool the same direction that it will be loaded onto your reel. The Hot Water trick will help set your line to the smaller spool of your reel.

man yeah, gonna have to try this..

thanks buddy!

Great vid

Beautiful video well done..I subscribed to your channel

I've slipped on the max capacity banana peel before. That extra space is a good idea.

Sweet!

Will try

I'll have to try that warm water trick, I tried spooling on like how you did last time I put line but it didn't work so well.

i have seen so many vids on how they think a proper spooling should be done and no way to tell what is the correct method, but a thought came to mind that i can spool line on my reel any way and then when im done simply get a large bearing snap swivel and attach my line to it and use the snap to attach it to a fence and then start walking back and unspooling it all the way ,then slowly put a bit of tension on the whole length of line and let go a few time then start spooling it all back on, i believe this helps stretch the memory out and the bearing swivel removes any twist on the entire line so that the whole length of it is straight without twist before you start reeling it in, and after that you can always dunk the spool in hot water and leave it till it cools down or leave it in there for a few days which helps to remove memory and like you said shape it to that diameter,, let me know what you think about using the snap swivel like that

Great vid! Also like how you have the same reel that I just bought! :-)

That water trick is game changer

Subbed as soon as I saw iowa

Nice Watching from New Delhi India

Cool thank you

Actually I used an old reel and spoiled it up with a towel. Then I hooked up the end to the actual reel which is the final destination to this line, set up brake on the old reel, this way when I roll it up, it will be the perfect tightness along the whole line.

If you line gets twist after fishing awhile cut bait off and as you idle boat let line out behind you. In half mile it will take all twist out of line. Works every time.

I highly recommend KVD line conditioner also works like a charm.

So I just wasted my time watching this because I thought I was spoiling my line wrong I've been doing it this way for years but that being said thanks for sharing

I’ve even soaked the spool of line before putting it on the reel, just to make it go on the reel a bit easier. Great video though dude, I’ll have to try spoiling my next spinning straight from the spool.

Yep that's how I started spoiling my line since I was a kid using a towel

if you have a boat, you can put it on any way it comes off the spool. All you have to do is let the line off the reel out behind the boat with nothen tied to it as you idle. Let pretty much all the line out and drag it behind the boat for a couple minutes and then reel it back on. The line will be completely straight no twist what so ever. Its good to do this every so often and you will never have trouble with twist.

Thanks for the info. Cinti Kid

No, thank you for your knowledge and time

Curious if it wouldn't be better to do the stretch task prior to the warm water normalization. Wouldn't the stretch task negatively affect the 'curl' diameter you just created? I appreciate what I just learned from your video and will be using your recommendations, this afternoon in fact. Thanks for taking the time to record and post.

My dad taught me that trick never had a problem with line twist

Good timing on this video. I bought a brand new spool for this year and it has the worst memory I've ever had. To make matters worse, I'm going down to a 1000 size reel this year so the spool size is even smaller. I just respooled it and I'm trying the warm water trick. We'll see how it goes...

Sometimes the best solution is the simple one. I did one last week with the pencil and it was a nightmare!!!! I am going to reload all my rods today.

Thanks

Label up like my dad taught me 🤙

Viewer: watches a video on how to spool a spinning reel This youtuber: if you cant see the knot i tie search it on youtube

Hair dryer. Usually solves my issue. I use nothing but mono.

Those pfluger reels are good dang reels

Sick intro music :)
