I hate to always say "do this, do this, do this", but the LIKE button helps a TON with putting my channel up there on the platform, so if you wanna see TRF continue to grow, PLEASE LIKE AND COMMENT!
I’m going to subscribe because you actually answered my question honestly and I want to see you grow my brother. Thank you for all you do. Very proud to see such a young man have such passion for something and work so hard to obtain it! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just started fishing the start of June and started using mono then moved to braid to floro and the sensitivity is night and day and has improved my fishing so much
First step, open the bail! As old as I am, I made that rookie mistake a week or so ago. I was spooling up several reels, and one of them, when I went to spool it up I had forgotten to open the bail. Of course I felt like a dummy! Thanks for the video!
You know I'm 63,grew up watching bill dance roland martin jimmy houston and others from that era.all are great.but fishing changed from those days.now I really enjoy watching your videos.and am still learning from you
I got that exact reel yesterday in the mail, haven’t fished with it yet but it’s definitely my favorite spinning reel I’ve ever bought. It’s so smooth and the internal mechanics are amazing. Highly recommend and definitely worth the $129
4:35 thank you!!! I just started using my baitcaster instead of my spinning rod because whenever i’d have my bail flipped, my mono line would shoot off the spool and get wrapped around the bearings and reel handle… gonna switch it to braid, i didnt even spool it either… i got the tackle shop to when i bought the rod
Yeah man, I have fished for 40 years, but was never a fan of braid except for my massive Musky rods. But I decided to try 15# braid on my spinning rod that I throw Okashira screw heads on alot, and Man I wish I had done that years ago! Better casting, no memory, better sensitivity, better strength
Dude that footage underwater was Awesome!!! Definitely more of that. I’m a bank angler and pretty new to fishing and that video taught me a lot and gave me a better understanding of what’s going on down there. I would never think he’d keep coming back that many times. Dropping right on the bed too, cool stuff. Best underwater video I’ve seen so far. This they should teach in school. Thanks
Here in fl I use 10 lb braid for weightless senkos and such, usually use a flouro leader for neds but with the lews carbon fire spinning rods I don’t put too much heat on them I get that rod loaded up to keep a good connect to the fish and pressure and get em netted
Excellent and informative video. The mono line jumping off and causing wind knots is exactly what happened to me with my newly spooled reel while fishing in very windy conditions on the Columbia 2 weeks ago. I will be respooling with braid. Question: what pound test is the backing you use? Is it relative to the pound test of the braid?
I have an electric line spooler that allows me to remove the spool from the reel and mount it onto it and put line on without any twists. This is short-lived. When you have a line-break the twists come out, and gets twisted back onto the reel. And in between each cast when you take the line out of the water you loose a couple twists. After a few dozen casts the first 100 foot or so off the reel gets twisted back onto the spool. No twist on spool means twists between spool and lure. Twist on spool means no twist between spool and lure. Just something to consider.
I just picked up the Lew’s Custom Lite Spinning Reel (CL300) and the spool has a “built in” rubber band wrapped around the center of the spool. My guess would be that I can spool my 20lb Seaguar Smackdown braid directly onto the spool with no need for a backing line. Correct?
Agree and that’s a good point I didn’t even cross my mind. I back all my bait casters with mono and then finish up with either braid or fluorocarbon already, so I have no idea why I didn’t use the same reasoning when I’m about to spool my Custom Lite. I probably got a little over anxious because it’s a new toy for me and I wanna play with it ASAP! 😁 Appreciate your quick reply and your advise. 👍👍 (Edit) Is that the Lew’s Team Pro Speed Stick? The link for the rod in your Description shows a KVD Series Spinning Rod.
The one thing I think you should do some sort of instructional is about making sure the line goes on right as far as direction. Even if you're just using it for backing. You hit on it for all of three seconds and a lot of new people don't understand that.
Great advice Ty. Bee thinking about changing my spinning reel all to braid, now I will. Question, what bait casting reel would you recommend, at very reasonable price, for bass?
You "could" use 15lb for ultra finesse texas and carolina rigs if you know what your doing and have done it for awhile you can indeed do it well at that too.
Great video and super helpful. I have one question though, if I keep switching lures and cutting off the braided line then should I just just use the mono or add more braided line? Again really appreciate the video 🙂
You shouldn’t be cutting off that much line. Just tie on a 10 foot leader or so, and only cut off the bare minimum you need to tie the next knot. Eventually, you will have to tie a new leader, but not until retying 6 or 7 times
What lake were you fishing on in the last part of the video? I heard you mention New York. I live in upstate NY and would love to check this place out, beautiful smallies!
First time beginner fishing after you put the line throw the eye of the rod on the spool do you glue or tape the line to the spool you did not say what to do
Are there spinning reels strong enough to jig with a medium to medium heavy pole? I bought a Pfleuger presidential size 30 as recommended but seems a little small and possibly not strong enough!? Thanks for all the great videos! God bless!
I’ve used “plastic” line since I was a little kid on a spinning reel and never once have I ever had a backlash or birds nest on a spinning reel. I’ve always just wound it with the spool floating in the water. Maybe seagar isn’t that good of line? Walmart line FTW?
Braid last longer than fluro even years and years before needing replacing. Fluro is a better bite overall unless you have enough leader half spool. If your a cheap vaster spool it up halfway with braid. If you prefer more strikes go 100% fluro. You can run the braid combo like we do in the salt just use a long enough leader as the fish can see that braid from a long distance away and will deter bites. Braid doesn’t stretch much either so don’t go tossing a jerk bait on braid/fluro combo as you’ll just rip the hooks out the fishes mouth.
I’ll be covering this in detail in a video very soon, but the main reason is to save money on expansive line so you don’t fill your whole spool up and waste half of it
just to let you know, I watched your video on jig fishing and you said that if you enter TRF on your Outkast order you would get a 20% discount. Well I order a couple of Feider jigs and entered your TRF but it was not accepted, Thought you should know.
Yes that code used to work but not anymore. I wish I had a discount code for you now, but I do not. The best way you can support the channel though, is by ordering through the links in my video descriptions👍🏼
Search “TylersReelFishing leader” here on RU-vid 👍🏼 Whenever you have a fishing question or technique you want to learn, search “TylersReelFishing ____” and in that blank, put the topic you are curious about. Odds are, ive already made a video about it👍🏼
I feel like an idiot. I tied my knot and closed the bail and when I try to feed the line, the reel spins but the line isn't moving... what am I doing wrong?
What size braid should I use if all I have is spinning rods and like to switch from frogs to wacky rig pet say. Never used it before but would liked to have 2 different go to set ups both spinning rods 1. Gear 5:8:1 2. Gear for 5:1:1 obviously slower. Any suggestions would help Thanks.
All the gear I use is always linked in the video description! Also, I would highly recommend you learn to use a baitcaster and add that to your bass fishing repertoire. You should not be throwing a frog on a spinning rod, especially the same rod that you throw a wacky rig on. I have a video on that, and the why behind it, coming out soon
How do I tell what spool size I have? You were talking about size 300/3500 size reels. But idk what I have. I have the Lews LZR pro and it says 145yds for 10lbs line. So I’m using braided 10lbs line, and on the packaging it says it has 145yds so would that be enough or still need backing
It's usually listed on the spool itself. Maybe the paint has worn down. You will almost always need backing though if you're using the same light braid main line that I am
You can just use straight braid on anything. The reason why we have a leader in most bass fishing situations, is due to clear water and fish that are wary of line. Smaller, fluoro line, helps eliminate that problem
@@TylersReelFishing I have been running just flouracarbin on my spinning rod but get alotta line twist and I've tried every way of putting it on I'll keep working on it
Recently got into fishing so I don’t know much but would it be okay if I just go straight braid with a flouro leader? And do I just have to make sure I’m 1/8 or 1/16 from the top of the spool?
Yes you can definitely do that. But you can’t throw everything on that. So most larger lures that are more suited for a baitcaster, of course would not be good for thin braid to a flouro leader. You can do thicker braid to a thicker flouro leader on a baitcaster, but I just have trust issues with large sized knots going through my guides. Always feel free to comment your questions, and videos you’d like me to make!
Watching a guy who says use straight flouro...says if you spool ot right wet coming off the spool right you won't get burs and twists. I say what!? The line only comes off one way! The same problems occurs. Ive wastes so much line !
(NOTE: all numbers are for simplicity) OK, so I put 300 yards of line on my reel, at 100psi and then I go out and make an Olympic distance cast of (lets say) 150 yards, now when I reel that line back in the tension on the water and the lure cannot reproduce that 100psi...the best it can only do is 50psi. so I now have a reel with 150 yards of 100psi and 150 yards of line at 50psi...you see where all these years of being told having a tight spool falls apart after the first cast?
If you are to inflate the numbers like you did, yes the argument falls apart. But that’s not reality lol. By “tight” I just mean “tension”. You reel most lures back in with some tension on every cast too. I’m trying to make things simple for people to understand, and you are trying to complicate things to “prove a point”
I'm going to talk about talking about talking about what I'm talking about doing...then I'm going to talk some more while I show you how to do what I'm talking about incorrectly, The way your letting that mono come off the factory spool is putting all those twists in the line, adding to the problem of the line jumping off the reel. No wonder it doesn't work for you. Do you realize how many years people fished with mono on spinning reels before braid was around? I like braid as well, but put on correctly and maintained, there is no reason you can't fish with mono or flouro on a spinning reel when the situation calls for it. And that crow had heard enough too!
6:42 you say you can’t make a long cast with a spinning reel? I’d like to have a cast battle with you at the beach. Google pendulum cast and then tell me a spinner can’t cast as long as a bait caster that is where you are wrong. Spinning reel can outcast a bait cast 3 to 1. You can cast a spinning reel 2 football fields with the right technique and weight. You would run out of line on a bait cast unless your using a conventional and even then a spinner has you beat I would bet all my surf gear on it.
@TylersReelFishing thanks for your reply... you are right you can spend money buying other companies' Corp boat catches.. or you can be a part of the event and catch your fish wild... both good choices and nice we can choose... I personally love catching and eating catfish... but only hook and release out-of-regulation fish... or past limits...or... just fun fishing...
You have to be making this up. Mono on a spinning reel is "super jumpy on a windy cast" and causes backlashes? This makes no sense whatsoever and is completely false. I (and Millions of others) have fished with mono (and co-polymer) lines countless Millions of times in windy conditions with all different weights of lures without this happening. The only way line backlashes on any reel, spinning or baitcast, is user error so you're either making this up or don't know how to use a spinning reel properly.
Your funeral! I showed the line jumping in action, not sure how you can deny it. Give braid as your main line a try. Just once. I don’t think you’ll ever go back
@@TylersReelFishing No clue what you mean by "your funeral". What you showed is you opening the bail, doing nothing, allowing the line to come off a bit, and you pulled more off, all with the bail open. You're not fishing with it, you're just sitting there. Nobody would ever do this, it's completely unrealistic. You are not managing the line properly, you're not in control of it. When you do make a cast, your other hand can instantly palm the spool (managing/controlling the line) and you have the option to manually close the bail with your hand or by reeling in. It's not rocket science. As I said, Millions of adults have fished spinning reels with ZERO problems for what, 100 years? Just because you make YT videos doesn't make you right about everything dude.
Son, I'm sure you're Dad may school you on many things about fishing, and you, like him have your own fishing channel, but today, I'm going to school you on what your topic is. I gave this to another "guy", and now I shall cut and paste it to you. I am a man that has a Bach. in Physics, and a minor in chemistry., so with no further comments to you, I offer you this: I'm sorry to tell you this, but mono, flouro and even braided fishing line is a plastic. Only the really strong stuff is made out of non-plastic stuff, and even some of that is as well. Wind it on your reel any way you wish but make sure it is snug, not too tight, but quite snug. After it's spooled, remove the spool from the reel and dunk the spool in 120ºF water for several minutes and the polymers in that plastic will align it's self to the reel it has been wound upon. Take it out and let it cool naturally so that the polymer's molecular structure aligns with the way it has been wound. Once cooled, naturally, there will be no twisting of the fishing line, polymer, around the spool. This is basic chemistry for anyone whom has studied it. There will be no twisting or anything else. Plastics, polymers, tend to take the shape of what they are formed to, like fishing line around a reel. Don't go over 120ºF or you will destroy it's elasticity and strength, but if held under 120ºF, it will form properly. This is no special trick, it is how chemicals react to heat and how molecules align themselves. It's basic chemistry. If your line looses it's effective strength or elasticity, then you've probably over heated it. After that, return the spool to the reel and lubricate the entire reel so that the water doesn't effect the reel performance and protects it's vital parts. Easy peasy!! No, I looked at this for 2 minutes and turned it off and made my comments. Maybe he suggested the same after the 2 minute mark but . . . . no matter. Hot water cures most polymer twisting "memory" problems and fouls when casting, as well as retrieval. Son, you have a lot of life left in you, please do your studies and make more educated comments in the future. What you have said in this video are good starting points, but are far from the truth of plastic fishing lines, whether they are mono, flouro, or braided. All of these are polymers, plastics. Each have different characteristics, but all plastics can be "trained" into performing as an angler wishes if they have the knowledge.
@@TylersReelFishing Well, I know you are an expert. After I abandoned my Zebco 33 at the age of 12, I have always used bait casters. I did purchase a spinning reel for casting light tackle yesterday. I'll see how that goes. Now, I only use braid.
Wow. Completely useless video. Glad you get money from sponsors. Please advertise that you are just giving info and techniques for bass fishing only so people like me don't bother with watching. Braid is for specific fishing only.
@@TylersReelFishing I am a catfisherman. I have shared several of your videos on my channel (which is under another name) and have advised them to follow you. In my experience, and with the way and conditions I fish in, mono is my preferred line (braid is unforgiving in a snag). I went back after your reply and listened, prepared to eat crow and apologize. Here are some facts: 0:03 you make your first reference to catfishing and how spooling a spinning reel does not matter. 1:05 you make the first reference to your channel being about bass fishing specifically (after within the first minute you claim). 6:10 you came back and referenced monofilament, after you had dismissed it, but did not supply enough detail to successfully achieve 'Line Spooling Tips For SUCCESS!!'. If you go back and check, I have liked several of your videos, especially the ones dealing with bait casters. You are great at what you do. I apologize the way I came off, if that is the issue. I should not have said that this was a 'Completely useless video'. It was not. I looked bad when I recommended it and it failed for what it was intended and what the title claimed. My fault for trusting you blindly. I was after finding out how to do things correctly, per your video title, 'Spinning Reel Line Spooling Tips For SUCCESS!!'. This in no way singles out bass fishing or only using braid. I also demonstrated that you called out that what you are fishing for does not matter in the first three seconds of your video. With the fact that you stated pretty much braid only, I was most disappointed in the fact that you did not go into more detail when you revisited mono at the 6 minute mark. How it comes off the supply spool vs. how the bail winds the line? I sent this to my grandson ( as well as others of yours in hopes of getting him to use baitcasters) so he could spool up before we went fishing. He hit me back and was like, what? I then re-watched. You don't specify which way the supply spool should be unspooling when spooling a spinning reel. And left/right reels matters, but the way the label faces doesn't. I hope that you still put out amazing content, but I hope that you preface everything with a more pronounced 'Bass Only' or 'Braid Only' message in your titles. I will continue to watch and recommend your videos to my followers and my Twitch peeps, if you don't mind, but I will preface them all with Bass Only.
