Putting Line On A Spinning Reel 

To purchase FISHING LINE - amzn.to/3x6sscU

OH MAN! Thank you for slowly and visually explaining the line direction and spinning reel direction! Perfect for us visual learners who have to picture what a person is saying to connect the dots!! Your one video was way better than the last 4 I tried understanding today on this topic!

Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod ru-vid.comUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.

I've been trying to line my spin reels for weeks I watch 4 tutorials on how to line it and you are the only one that explained line direction thank you for taking the extra time and effort to really does mean alot

You did a excellent job on your videos you keep it simple without condescending tone and that's what makes your videos good. Keep it real, unscripted as much as you can, thanks for sharing. Excellent job stay awake, spread the word, protect the women and children.

You tying the square/slip knot off of the reel and showing how to line up the spool with your reel really helped me as a visual learner that spaces stuff out easily, definitely keeping this bookmarked

Thank you! So many channels overlook these early simple questions and know how. It's been decades since I've fished unfortunately, but I'm getting back into it and needed some help getting started again. Thank you so much for your help, just subbed and hope to see some more content!

Video was great, you explained things well so that even a Newby could understand. I figured out these things over the years, after many failed attempts and many tangles caused by line twist. Your explanation was one of the best I've come across on how it happens. Thx, and have a great fishing season

This was the best explanation I have seen for adding new line. Thank you very much. 👍

I watched a bunch of other videos to try and understand what they meant with coming off the spool and going on the reel the same way, yours was by far the best!

This is the absolute best and SIMPLE tutorial on avoiding line twist. I've been doing "hit and miss" with this line twist hassle for 75 years. At last a solution that doesn't require buying any gadgets or fooling around with other stuff. Just a piece of cake to do it like this.

Great video and very informative. I just started fishing again after 15+ years break. Your video just showed me what I was doing wrong back then and nowadays too :) Thanks.

Great video! I’m sold on the knot you use to tie off to the spool and the method of determining line direction. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Talk about perfect timing ☺️ I was just going to load fishing line on one of my fishing reels but I decided to watch you tube videos before I do it and there shows up this video from you to me 😀 . I greatly appreciate your help 👉🏻👍🏻☺️

Excellent job of explaining just about EVERYTHING. Keep up the great videos. You keep it simple and on point. Thank you. I think you have solved a lot of common problems facing recreational fishermen.

Great video. Sweet,simple and accurate.

Thank you, I seen your post under another video stating you had a demo video. Thank you for showing directions of the line. Very helpful.

For 50 years I have been not paying attention to this simple procedure-Thank You

The more I watch your videos, the more I learn. Very practical tips and I will be using this technique from now on. Thank you for yet another great video. All the best to you and yours. Merry Christmas!

Fantastic. So practical. You did a great job in such a natural way that I am confident to follow your commentary. Thanks.

For A Beginner @ 60 This is a Fundamental that I truly needed, Thank You n God Bless.

Thank you so much for the simplest explanation and proper demonstration. I've shared the link with many of the group members who have just begun their fishing expedition. Great video buddy !!

Really great job, clear and concise with other good tips as well. Thanks!

Love your vids. Clear, concise, and very instructional.

As others have said, watched a bunch of videos trying to understand which way the line should come off the spool - none as clear as yours. THANK YOU!

Thanks Nud ,you explained Dat very simply,my whole life I been doing it wrong and sometimes doing it correctly just by chance , my dad always told me when u put line on your reel u have to do it thru tall grass to stop it from coiling off spool and making a mess ...Your way is so much better.

Haven't been fishing for several years, great and clear information to get back in the game! Awesome job with the video. Good sound, (no music! Yay!) Subbing!

Great video, been doing it this way for years and it makes a world of difference!

The same thing’s I learned about filling reels some 55 yrs ago. Some things weren’t made to change there sadly not passed on. Good job 👍 keep teaching old and young

In this very short 11minutes & change you have answered one of the brains of my fishing with spincast reels😀 I've tried probably a half a dozen different ways to solve this issue. This is the one reason my wife refuses to use one of these reels. Thank You You are A God Send. Oh and yeah your Tube gets a sub from me too.👍

Great explanation; best video I have seen on the topic. Thank you!

Fantastic explanation! Great job.

Great detailed tutorial. I wish I had watched this a few decades ago. I use a device I bought on the cheap online to help me with spooling line that makes things way eaier.

I watched all of the manufacturers videos and your explanation was the first that I understood the line coming off the spoil matching it going on the reel to avoid twists.

Best explanation on this topic that I've found yet. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for taking the extra time to explain this properly, much appreciated!

Wow - such a good explanation and demonstration ! much better than the other videos I've seen on this subject. thanks

Thank you. I was just about going to where I buy my line and have them put my line.on for me . Last time I did it myself I had a terrible time could mot figure out what I did wrong . But now I know about line direction. No one else has mentioned this before. Thank you very much for this video.

Wow great video. Nicely explained. I never realized the little details of doing it right. It makes sense now that i know.

This was exactly what I needed to see as a real beginner. I'd go to cast and BOOM, squirrel's nest. I'd get so angry and storm off the water, throwing my pole in the truck and vowing never to fish again. But the next day I was back at it, same story, different day. Came across this video and had no idea that there was a certain way to put line on the pole, etc. Thanks for this. Gold mine here.

Great video Dave. I have another tip you may enjoy: because the line coming off the spool is going on generally a smaller reel size spool, it helps prevent birds nests and line issues if you take off your reel spool placing it in tap hot water for 5-10 minutes to readapt line memory to the new size . Tight lines

I have been fishing for over 55 years now (with all sorts of techniques) But I have NEVER noticed your information. Thanks for the new information for me at least (Most of it)

Great instructional video. Clear, concise and full of helpful tips. Well done.

Excellent explanation. I've been doing it wrong for years and this technique makes perfect sense!

Thank you for this video. I needed to be reminded how to do this the correct way. You have a new sub.

Putting a bit of tape on the spool with braided line helped me out a good bit. Also I never thought of the direction of the line coming off the spool, I used to just put the spool on an axle and live with what ever. Thanks again.

I've been fishing about 65 years and still screw this up at least once a year. With braid I spool on some mono and then tie the braid to the mono with a double uni knot; sometimes tip the braid with fluorocarbon, again with a double uni. The braid won't slip when spooled on top of a few layers of mono. Good video; clear, good pace.

First video of 6 to properly explain this. Thank you very much!

Great job. Now your going to make my fishing better. who said you can't teach a old dog new tricks, BS you just did. thank you. thumbs up!!!

A great, clear presentation mate. Thanks for the great content.

Oh my god, you explained this beautifully!!!! I just subbed and clicked the thumbs 👍up button! Can't wait to share this with my hubby. We had to find a hobby where we won't kill each other. And fishing was it! lol (I won't touch a gun or go off-roading...and he won't watercolor-paint or crochet! lol Go figure.

Been fishing all my life and never new the proper way to put on my line. Thanks for the video. Oh ya go Packers! Nice hat.

As a retired veteran and haven't fished for 30 years thank you for helping me catch more fish with a slip bobber.

That was the best explanation of spool direction I have come across. Well done. Also, Go Packers!

Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated sir. God bless.

For more than two seasons, the line on my spool with super line on it, was turning on the spool. I screwed with the brake thinking it was causing the problem. JUST discovered the entire spool of wire linewas spinning on the spool itself! Just as it was explained in this fantastic video!!

Excellent demonstration and easy to understand. Subbed because of that. Thanks!

Nice job on the video. I enjoyed the learning and thank you for taking the time to do a very nice presentation.

Very nice demonstration, and delivery. Its a nice day when one learns something.

Bravo ... You ARE a great communicator! ...Thank you!

Very good demo and informational video. I am sort of a "old" rookie. When I was young, my fishing was all cane poles. Thanks again for the fine video.

Great description ! Makes things very clear .

Thank you. This is a very practical approach. BTW I had that very same problem with the stranded line spinning on the spool...tapw works just fine. Coke owes you big time gor this video!

Very helpful thank you and great point about the braided spinning on spool.

Dude. You saved me so much annoyance. Thanks for the tips!

That mono equivalent diameter info was great. Did not know that, thank you.

You my man ,you helped me spool my reel also you let me know you are a good man at the very end of your video

Bout time somebody else figured it out been doing it for 40 years thanks

I'm just joking man. I just got back into fishing this summer. I love it and it's a life saving lifestyle change. I appreciate all u guys out there making these vids for guys like me that are starting all over lol god bless yall!

I've been doing that with mono for years, you can do it from shore as well, pop the bail , take a walk, and reel up. Works just as well, if on shore..

Great info, will definitely shorten the learning curve. Thank you.

Not all heroes wear capes my man. Thank you.

Good video, very well illustrated and easy to understand. Job well done.

Great video, full of good tips an tricks.

OMG...I had no idea what I was doing when I restrung my reels - thanks!

🎣 I wind my mono - nylon line around the spool three times then tie my knot on, no slipping of knot, simple to do,! ... 🎣

Fifty years fishing ...still learning basics. Great tips!

This man!! Excellent video!

I was drinking Pepsi while watching but I still approve your video. Thanks for the easy explanation on correct spooling direction.

Thanks for the informative video..and God bless you and your family!

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, now i agree with every point you made here so good job 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 shape it to that diameter of the reel spool,, let me know what you think about using the snap swivel like that

Thaks for the vid.helps I'm going to keep watching it cause. me & my boy's just starting these hobby I use to door ass kid back in EL SALVADOR its lots of fun but we dot use such fancy fishing rods a strong stick and line thanks for info.

Thank you for this. Great explanation to help me, a beginner/returner, to fishing.

Very good and simple directions , nice!!

Really enjoy your vids. Very instructional!!!!!

I learned a lot especially that electrical tape on the knot under the reel!

Nice Job Dave, Good info!

Great demo. Never thought about that.

Great video! Thank you for this valuable information. I am now subscribed to your channel.

Best instructive video of my life

That's teaching, thank you very much!

I’m always have trouble with my line . I’m going to try this today. Thanks so much I’ll let you know how it worked out. God Bless

Thankyou for the exact information,

This is the best video I've seen on this subject! Thanks for the tutorial.

Great vid love the untwist tip thanks 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the great info my man!!

Thanks. Excellent info and very well explained.

It's all about the actual direction the line comes off the spool by manually checking it like you demonstrated. DON'T go by the label on the spool like some others tell you to do folks. I have two different spools on my bench right now, LABELS UP, coming off in opposite directions. Find out which way it comes off and DRAW THE ARROW. Great video my friend. Take care and good fishing!

Well done! Thanks Dave.

Thank you!im going to North Carolina in about a month and I need some new line to go fishing with!
