Debo! Great stuff man! Love the hot water trick. I always throw braid to floro leader on my spinning reel. We were talking about the B-Lat video on straight floro. It was on the Scott Martin Channel. I’ll drop the link. I would love a video on your favorite flipping set up. Thanks! ruclips.net/video/9EdiABzKeME/видео.html
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Oliver Landry thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I'm glad u addressed the fact wether the spool matches the direction of your reel spin you're gonna get line twist. I've watched multiple videos where some say they need to match some say they need to be opposite and I was still getting line twist and really losing it. I haven't really eliminated but your video made me realize I'm not losing my freaking mind. Thank u
I’m new to fishing and I’m learning from RUclips. I spent 2 hours trying to spool my spinning reel based on what others were saying the line should do. I always had it twisting like you showed and I couldn’t understand why, given I was following the directions. Just wanted to say thank you for the video, it’s the best on RUclips, I’ve watched all of them.
My papa always let's all the line out behind the boat with a swivel on the end to get all the twist out and reeled it back in. Good info and video. Thanks.
My Father. After putting line on a bait caster reel or a Spin caster using mono. Would put a old leather belt around a tree limb or corner post in the back yard and attach the line to a hole in the belt and walk the line out. Then put extra drag on. Stretch the line tight and reel the 40 to 50 yards back in a couple of times on each rod and reel he put new line on. Just half the line on the reel. It work wonders. He would also spray the line with line magic. Just that stretching of the line made casting alot easier when going fishing. No tangles no twist. Keep up the great video's and important info. Shawn
Thank you. I found the exact same results after 30 plus years, and it was comforting to know that all the different methods don't limit twist, they help in an attempt to minimize it. If you have a boat, let all the line off of the spool behind the boat, then reel it in. Twist gone. No boat, send your son down the street on his bike with the line till the spool is empty, let it rest for 5 minute, then put pressure on the line with a wet sponge to add tension, while adding lubrication and not burning your finger tips.
Good tips, Debo, especially on the proper closing of the bail. I used to screw up my line all the time as a kid by closing it by cranking the handle. Now I can spend more time feeshing, and less time untangling bird’s nests.
Great tips bro I'm a new saltwater fisherman and almost every time I go out I get so frustrated with tangles to the point of not even wanting to fish this is helped greatly, I appreciate it. Thx for posting! Ken
I have used spinning reels whole life until last yr. I thought I had it figured out in spoiling. But you gave some tips i have never thought of. I setup the spool to unwind over the top with the line thru all the guides and have rod tip about 10' from spool. Great video thanks for the tips.
I spool my spinning reels like my bait casters. However, instead of the line coming from the top I bring it from the bottom. Mark Zona "In the zone tip" from a few years ago. You are absolutely correct about line conditioner and hot water. 👍👍👍
I grew up next to a bait shop in rural Pennsylvania. The owner always would load up new line on his reels as you suggested, then have someone (sometimes me) run it out 50-100 yards with nothing attached to the line. He would then reel it in at a moderate speed while pinching the line between his fingers. He would do this 2-3 times, until the line was neutral. Seemed to work great. Thanks for the video!
You cracked me up about the scented soap! Thanks for doing this video. I haven't fished for over 20 years, but want to again soon. My ex-husband was the one with the knowledge on how to do these things. Now I can learn for myself.
This guy knows how to teach and is thorough. Thank you!!! I listened to some other videos before yours and spooled the line around my reel wrong….what a mess. I’m gonna try again using your instructions. Thank you!!
That water trick is pure GENIUS! Also I used braid on 3 of my 4 combos and I got lazy after a while with leader and have been tying straight braid. So far I have not found issues with fish being skittish due to seeing the line, but I also fish in chocolate milk water down here in the bayous of Louisiana and that might play a part in it. Good stuff man.
great video. as an arborist, i tie a running bowline daily and that became my knot to tie when respooling my rods. a non cinching knot that gets tighter the more weight on it and its not bulky(also can untie no matter how tight it gets but that doesnt matter with the fishing line lol). but i never let my spools get that low to where the knot might hinder me anyway. just a matter of it being a confidence knot i guess. and i love the alberto knot, super easy and if you loop your fluoro leader, and wrap with your braid, you can visually see how good of a knot it will be
I just starting fishing and have been watching lots of your videos to learn. I was running into so many problems with the line nesting and unspooling. I managed to get it figured out but this helped me to understand why and how to correct it. Thanks Debo!
Good evening DEBO'S Fishing, I truely ENJOYED your video on How to Spool a Spinning Reel! I to have had my fair share of issues in respooling my spinning reels throughout the 25 + years of fishing. I found your technique Very HELPFUL and Informative! 🙂Keep up the EXCELLENT WORK my FRIEND! Keep a Tight Line my Friend and Never Stop Fishing! LOL! Sincerely, Mr. Carl J. Gwizdala. aka "Desperado!' LOL!
After spooling your line, take the rod to the lake. Place the reel into the “release” position and put the end of the line into the lake. Move boat forward, letting the water tension completely drag the line off the reel. Do not have a lure or anything on the line. As you troll down the lake, tension from the water, onto the line, will get the twists out of the line. Reel the line back in, with some tension. All done.
After ya do the hot water deal, take your rod outside, and take your tag end and tie it to a tree or anything that’s stable and put your drag on about 20%, and pull the line out (with bail closed) and pull on the line (with your hand stabilizing the reel) every 20 ft or so and pull it taught five or six time, and depart this for about 50yds, and BAM no curls, absolutely NO memory! Works like a charm, no line conditioner needed. You have just removed all the memory in that line, lays flat as a board! By the way love your content Debo, you have turned me into a tackle junky! Lol Tight lines to ya! 🎣
Best spooling how-too vid I've seen. I watched a lot of them while doing my spooling vid and 99.9% tell you to spool your line without twists. Amazing how even the seasoned pros don't understand how line acts when going on or coming off a stationary spool. +1 subscriber. Look forward to watching your other vids.
Thanks again DEBO. It's that dead-o-winter time here in Ohio too. Edges of lakes have unsafe ice. Rivers and creeks are running high and muddy. It's time to either drive south for some Florida feeshing, or get organized for early springtime. (Maybe I'll do both?) I'm gonna have a few feeshing buddies come over to the garage, have a few beers, put new line on our reels and start making some plans for 2020 river trips. I find that (when possible) having another human hold some tension on the spool while putting new line on is a big help. What I learned today: 1- Switch some of my reels to braided line. I've resisted making that change so far because I'm not crazy about tying leaders on, but it's time to give it a try. 2- Other guys' wives buy weird, smelly soaps too. (Currently, my wife has some pear scented goo in the pump bottle in our bathroom) 3- Hot H2O on new monofilament might help erase the old memory. It's certainly worth a try. Thanks for all of your excellent video! Spring *is* coming, brother.....
Top notch video homie. Spent a week up in Minnesota pissing around with a full spool of fluoro on a finesse rig. Never thought of trying hot water to retrain the line. 👍
Mono is my choice. If it was good enough for grandpappy it’s good enough for me. I use some line conditioner spray, KVD’s, Reelsnot or Lew’s makes most lines nice and manageable
I like it when you do bank fishing because I am a bank fishing me I don't have a boat to fish from subscribe to your channel and get your your updates keep up the good work
you are good dude i bought one of these reals on sale last time i did there was no internet i was so frustrated you are deeply apreciated made this so easy thank you
The hot water trick is something I don’t remember seeing before. The line twist issue with spinning reels is gone on forever. I learned trout fishing using two-pound line on ultralight spinning tackle some line brands work better than others do. If you prefer using monofilament to save money and keep things simple, you can find supple line that works well. Braid is a sure way to cure the problem however; using leaders makes braid more trouble than it is worth sometimes, if you are retying after every fish. Spinning reels often work better with one diameter line than another because of the speed of their oscillating spool. If you are fishing and notice, the line on the spool looks like a doughnut or is not level on the spool that is a sign the reel is not compatible with the line diameter. If it is the case, your line likely will not last as long and you will get more wind knots and shorter casting distance. Few anglers notice this issue because they are not aware of it is happening. Something that really saves line is a line counter.
Yeah, I saw it on an old Bill Dance episode somewhere. Yes, leaders can be a pain but I'm a firm believer in them. Couple that with braid and you get the best of both worlds!
@@DEBOSFishing I use them too, just not with 2-pound line. You need to try using two-pound line next time you go trout fishing on a small stream. It is not easy tying perfect knots in such small line. Using it will double the trout you catch.
Very interesting. After not having fished for 30 years I tried fishing on a canoe trip in 2021 and everything that you described in your video happened to me. Coiled line, line tangled, line wrapped around the reel. It was very frustrating. I ended up just canoeing and forgeting about the fishing. I hope to have better understanding of fishing line manipulation this year. Thanks for the great information.
I have been using the KVD Line and Lure for a couple of years and it works really well. I usually put it on the night before i go fishing. Then I put some more on there after I get back. I also started using a mono backing with braid and a leader on my spinning reels a few years ago.👊👍
I went to braid on my spinning reel this past season (but kinda late). I think I went a little TOO LOW on the lb test though. I might replace my 10lb with 15/20lb and a 10lb/12lb mono or fluoro leader. I am not a big finesse fisherman, but I want to learn a lot more and get good at it this year for times when they just don't want to bite anything else. Good vid dude!
DEBO, you are good for so many angler to teach if what is the exact spinning the line to the fishing reel. Newbie's here. Thank you very much. Watching from naic cavite. Philippines. #Ting tv ph
very helpful im brand new to fishing and just got into ultra light fishing with ned rigs and i get so much bird nests always wondered why i saw fisherman in videos pull line after closing the bail and i was never leaving my rod up after twitching it i would drop to reel in so very helpful
Great video. I actually use a blow dryer instead of hot water. I thought about using my heat gun on low but its still too hot on its lowest setting. A blow dryer on low is perfect.
Hands down, most informative video ever. I don't know if you did any editing but damn dude, you talked the entire time. No dead space...just serious information and great tips for us rookies. Thank you...
I use one of those spooling stations that spin as you spool the reel, it does help with the initial spooling, but I think the nature of spinning reels will induce some line twist as they are used. Once you cast out, and start reeling in, the line that's out doesn't twist nearly as much in the same direction as line going back on the spool, but the incident is so small, that hundreds of cast can be made before line twist becomes an issue. I'm sure the use of barrel swivels helps a small amount, when they aren't clogged with algae, haha. I prefer braid, and I like straight braid because most of the waters I fish usually have some tint to them, but when the water is abnormally clear, or when I fish for stocked trout, I then use a mono or copolymer leader on my spinning reels.
Agreed. The mechanics of a spinning reel are bound to introduce line twist at some point. That's why I like the braid. I seem to have very little issues with twist on most lures. Thanks for watching, Russell!
you are really good explaining dynamics of shooting fixing line to spincast reel. I learned some excellent steps in proper techniques. i know more how to avoid line twist/memory. The leader step for braided line is unique. i have to try that, my biggest difficulty with braid was cutting line to change lures.
It’s so weird watching these vids Iv used about a 5’ ugly stick Iv had it for about 10 years an i use fireline about 8-10 pound test but hardly any tangles most likely never but maybe that’s just cause I have experience for so many years fishing but I’m loving new knots you have showed an all the tips and vids love seeing how ppl fish an so things different
I usually try to have someone hold tension on the spool of line as I’m spooning my reel and keep tension on the line as it goes into the reel. It works pretty well, but you can’t always do that. The hot water trick is pretty handy too. Or just spool 10-15 cranks of mono and go to braid haha.
Tha ks for the video. It was very useful for a novice like me. Really enjoyed all the variations you presented and how clearly you articulated everything
This worked great!!! I used ur technique for my 4# spider wire and worked awesome !! Used the same line one the same reel and did not rinse I was totally backlashed and had to cut everything off and re-spool like u showed it’s been awesome.
The best way I've found to avoid getting a a bird's nest and having line pop off is take the biggest sinker you have, or even go buy one that's quite large and go to a river, lake, field, dirt road doesn't matter. Cast it as far as you possibly can a couple times. The line then sits on the reel properly and you'll never have a issue again with line messing up
Thanks for the video. Always gives pleasure to help beginners. I just did a reel myself tonight. I started out coming off Clockwise and when I can feel a bit of line twist, I flip the spool over. Same result as yours. One thing that I do is this. When in the boat, and not catching fish, which is usual for myself, I'll put on a 1 ounce or heavier weight. Cast it out and leave the bail arm open, drive the boat slowly until I'm spooled out. Then slowly reel back in. Does this help, yes it does to a decent extent. But this doesn't help if you're not in a boat. A few Moons back, I bought a cheap spooler from EBay. Suction cup base which goes onto the kitchen counter top. Put the spool on and reel in Clockwise. It does work decent for some reason. One rule that I follow, with a spinning reel, I don't use more than 10 lb test with Mono. Fluoro, you can get by with 12 lb test. Hybrid, it depends on the brand. Yozuri is decent. One Hybrid line, Fluoro coated that I use now that I found it is, P Line. I'll swear by it any day. On more than one occasion, my supervisor at Scambella's gave me a talking to for selling out all of our P Line to customers and then requesting another large order, when apparently, I was supposed to be selling people the High End Line. Hahahaha, silly me.
Great video Debo your exactly right. About the spooling line twist tend to come. Would love to see another trout video . thats all im fishing for right now. Take care
Cool vid. I've always soaked the spool in a pot of hot water, then air dried before putting back on the reel. Still haven't tried braid on a spinning reel. Maybe one day
This was extremely helpful!!! You can't believe how pissed off I was when I tried to put a new line in my reel for the first and only time I've done it. Thank you! #NewFisherman #Noob
FYI heat destroys and weakens mono and hot water will do the same to damage your line. Just use room temperature if you must. Best to start by removing spool completely from reel and attach to a power hand drill and spool like a baitcaster as you demonstrated in the beginning. Be careful not to lose spool spacing washers, if any, when taking your spool off.
Nice...nice...nice. I will try the heat thing and I just got one of those winder thingys and we will see how it goes as I have a renewed interest to fish so new line on all. Tight Lines everyone and Happy New Year.
Started not to watch this because I figured I wouldn't learn much but 1. The soap was hilarious! 2. I did NOT know about the hot water to retrain the line. I'll probably never use it because I'm a braid to leader guy but good to know! Always get something from these even if it's just a laugh.👊
i didn't have to use the spray and the hot water but i used your custom made spooling station and it worked really well also i hand no kinks and when i lifted the switch nothing sprung out great tutorial man i'm probably going to sub now and i know this video is 2 years ago and you probably won't see this but if you do thanks so much
I just got into fishing a year ago(started with a spin wheel) and this video was great. Especially the spooling and the difference between types of line. Gonna have to try braided with a liter
I was a reel in closer of the bail until I started noticing you (and Nate Marling) close the bail manually. Worked on turning it into a habit as it seemed a smoother and easier technique, but now understanding the benefits why is so much more useful. Thanks for yet another useful tip!
Would love see a good spinning reel cleaning / maintenance / teardown video. Your baitcasting cleaning video was fantastic. Keep up the great work and awesome content.
Another trick I’ve used for years when spooling all my spinning reels is to drop my spool of line into a bucket of really warm/hot water and let it set for 24 hours or so before I spool my reel. Believe it or not, monofilament and fluorocarbon lines do absorb some water. So by soaking the whole spool in hot water before spooling eliminates the line memory and most, if not all of the twists and tangles!
The hot water trick is great! It worked even better than a warm water soak that I’d seen lots of other people recommend. Thanks for the super useful tips!
I found the best and easiest way to do it on two section rod, a small painting roller with the sponge roller. Trim the sponge to firmly hold the line reel. Put the roller handle on the end of the lower section with a cloth and gently tie to handle parallel to the rod with a paracord, velcro or cable tie. Leave the reel on the carpet and start spinning it. Sounds difficult, but it's only few minutes for a reel like the one in the video. I got two the exact same reels
Love your tip on lining with the box I use a similar spooling system but mine hole in the side of the box with line fed through to prevent any jumping off . But Omni flex 🤔let's just teach everyone to lose fish viscous stren and even trilene don't cost much more. But keep giving them tips I love your show
Lol soap pet peeve 😆😂🤣 I don’t buy those soaps for my hubby even though sometimes I do like the smell, so if and when I do I always make sure there’s unscented just regular soap for him. Thank you for this video to show us how. So need this as a beginner learning everything!!!
I agree. No matter which way the spool is, u get line twist. I even tried floating it behind the kayak after spoiling it. That did NOT WORK 😆😆. I am going to try the warm water next time and see how that goes. Mono line twisting and not laying flat is why I got started using braid. Have a hard time going back.
Also, great explanation and point to handle the bail after a cast. I never even realized I do that out of habit. But huge for beginners to know. I had never heard of this warm water track. Thanks man good one also put the.
I had line jump off and actually get INSIDE my reel (the same Shimano reel you have). Broke my rod tip accidentally taking things down to fix the reel. Had to take it apart at the lake. Retired it for the evening and just used my baitcaster. I hope I got the reel put back together right! :-/ Yep, I think braid is the way to go!
Debo! Great stuff man! Love the hot water trick. I always throw braid to floro leader on my spinning reel. We were talking about the B-Lat video on straight floro. It was on the Scott Martin Channel. I’ll drop the link. I would love a video on your favorite flipping set up. Thanks!

The hot water trick is something I don’t remember seeing before. The line twist issue with spinning reels is gone on forever. I learned trout fishing using two-pound line on ultralight spinning tackle some line brands work better than others do. If you prefer using monofilament to save money and keep things simple, you can find supple line that works well. Braid is a sure way to cure the problem however; using leaders makes braid more trouble than it is worth sometimes, if you are retying after every fish. Spinning reels often work better with one diameter line than another because of the speed of their oscillating spool. If you are fishing and notice, the line on the spool looks like a doughnut or is not level on the spool that is a sign the reel is not compatible with the line diameter. If it is the case, your line likely will not last as long and you will get more wind knots and shorter casting distance. Few anglers notice this issue because they are not aware of it is happening. Something that really saves line is a line counter.
Yeah, I saw it on an old Bill Dance episode somewhere. Yes, leaders can be a pain but I'm a firm believer in them. Couple that with braid and you get the best of both worlds!
@@DEBOSFishing I use them too, just not with 2-pound line. You need to try using two-pound line next time you go trout fishing on a small stream. It is not easy tying perfect knots in such small line. Using it will double the trout you catch.
Not a big fisherman, but I learn alot from this. Thank you.
Awesome, I appreciate you watching 👊
Very interesting. After not having fished for 30 years I tried fishing on a canoe trip in 2021 and everything that you described in your video happened to me. Coiled line, line tangled, line wrapped around the reel. It was very frustrating. I ended up just canoeing and forgeting about the fishing. I hope to have better understanding of fishing line manipulation this year. Thanks for the great information.
I've been very happy since switching to braid to leader. Good tips here brother.
Yessir! Braid is just so much easier IMO!
I always thread thru all the guides on my pole. I am trying braid line on my new spinning combo. Hope it pleases me. Good luck fisherman!
I have been using the KVD Line and Lure for a couple of years and it works really well. I usually put it on the night before i go fishing. Then I put some more on there after I get back. I also started using a mono backing with braid and a leader on my spinning reels a few years ago.👊👍
Yeah, I'm really bad about reapplying throughout the year! It definitely seems to help though!
I went to braid on my spinning reel this past season (but kinda late). I think I went a little TOO LOW on the lb test though. I might replace my 10lb with 15/20lb and a 10lb/12lb mono or fluoro leader. I am not a big finesse fisherman, but I want to learn a lot more and get good at it this year for times when they just don't want to bite anything else. Good vid dude!
Depends on the line. I use 10-15lb braid for small finesse stuff (ned, drop, shaky).
DEBO'S Fishing what is best for cat fishing big fish
DEBO, you are good for so many angler to teach if what is the exact spinning the line to the fishing reel. Newbie's here. Thank you very much. Watching from naic cavite. Philippines. #Ting tv ph
very helpful im brand new to fishing and just got into ultra light fishing with ned rigs and i get so much bird nests always wondered why i saw fisherman in videos pull line after closing the bail and i was never leaving my rod up after twitching it i would drop to reel in so very helpful
Thank you man! The only guys I've seen admit that it's always going to twist - which is my experience. Switching to braid now.
Great video. I actually use a blow dryer instead of hot water. I thought about using my heat gun on low but its still too hot on its lowest setting. A blow dryer on low is perfect.
Winter Candy Apple sounds like an amazing dancer, anyway thank you for the outstanding tutorial. It was packed with tons of learning nuggets.
Soap comment so funny!! Showed my wife. Same argument at my house. New to channel. Will keep watching. You have great stuff.
Hands down, most informative video ever. I don't know if you did any editing but damn dude, you talked the entire time. No dead space...just serious information and great tips for us rookies. Thank you...
I literally just bought the same reel today and thank you I really needed this
Debo I feel you, the soap in our bathroom is called “winter citrus wreath” lol . Definitely some great tips for spinning reels. Great video
I don't want winter citrus, or Christmas cookie, or wildflower passion...I just want plain old dial soap dangit!😂 Appreciate you watching man 👊
I use one of those spooling stations that spin as you spool the reel, it does help with the initial spooling, but I think the nature of spinning reels will induce some line twist as they are used. Once you cast out, and start reeling in, the line that's out doesn't twist nearly as much in the same direction as line going back on the spool, but the incident is so small, that hundreds of cast can be made before line twist becomes an issue. I'm sure the use of barrel swivels helps a small amount, when they aren't clogged with algae, haha. I prefer braid, and I like straight braid because most of the waters I fish usually have some tint to them, but when the water is abnormally clear, or when I fish for stocked trout, I then use a mono or copolymer leader on my spinning reels.
Agreed. The mechanics of a spinning reel are bound to introduce line twist at some point. That's why I like the braid. I seem to have very little issues with twist on most lures. Thanks for watching, Russell!
I made the same set up with a pencil clamped to table for a spool !! Love the hot water trick also
you are really good explaining dynamics of shooting fixing line to spincast reel.
I learned some excellent steps in proper techniques. i know more how to avoid line twist/memory.
The leader step for braided line is unique. i have to try that, my biggest difficulty with braid was cutting line to change lures.
applying line to spincast reel
$18 bucks for that reel ??????? Dayuuuum !!!! I didn't know about that line keeper. As usual I learned something here.
Yeah, I got a steal on it! Yes, the line keeper on them comes in handy!
I’m getting my Abu Garcia Revo SX spinning reel and I’ll definitely be trying this! 👍🏼👊🏼🎣
Nice! I've heard good stuff about that one!
DEBO I LOVE FOR THAT ONE MAN THANKS THAT SPOOLING STATION IS FIRE 😭 NICE
It’s so weird watching these vids Iv used about a 5’ ugly stick Iv had it for about 10 years an i use fireline about 8-10 pound test but hardly any tangles most likely never but maybe that’s just cause I have experience for so many years fishing but I’m loving new knots you have showed an all the tips and vids love seeing how ppl fish an so things different
Sweet video!! I usually put the spool of line in warm water prior to adding it to the reel. 🎣👏👍🍻🤩
Thanks for watching man 👊
Thank you so much I was going nuts. Now I know I had too much line on the reel! Mega knots!
This has to best the best vid on the topic I've seen.thanks from Sydney Australia
nice explanation .. I like a bucket of soapy water and leave the spool loose.. it can move if line twist is developing...
Nice! I haven't tried that!
I usually try to have someone hold tension on the spool of line as I’m spooning my reel and keep tension on the line as it goes into the reel. It works pretty well, but you can’t always do that. The hot water trick is pretty handy too. Or just spool 10-15 cranks of mono and go to braid haha.
Yep, the water trick helps a lot. Thanks for watching 👊
Tha ks for the video. It was very useful for a novice like me. Really enjoyed all the variations you presented and how clearly you articulated everything
This worked great!!! I used ur technique for my 4# spider wire and worked awesome !! Used the same line one the same reel and did not rinse I was totally backlashed and had to cut everything off and re-spool like u showed it’s been awesome.
The best way I've found to avoid getting a a bird's nest and having line pop off is take the biggest sinker you have, or even go buy one that's quite large and go to a river, lake, field, dirt road doesn't matter. Cast it as far as you possibly can a couple times. The line then sits on the reel properly and you'll never have a issue again with line messing up
Thanks for the video. Always gives pleasure to help beginners. I just did a reel myself tonight. I started out coming off Clockwise and when I can feel a bit of line twist, I flip the spool over. Same result as yours. One thing that I do is this. When in the boat, and not catching fish, which is usual for myself, I'll put on a 1 ounce or heavier weight. Cast it out and leave the bail arm open, drive the boat slowly until I'm spooled out. Then slowly reel back in. Does this help, yes it does to a decent extent. But this doesn't help if you're not in a boat. A few Moons back, I bought a cheap spooler from EBay. Suction cup base which goes onto the kitchen counter top. Put the spool on and reel in Clockwise. It does work decent for some reason. One rule that I follow, with a spinning reel, I don't use more than 10 lb test with Mono. Fluoro, you can get by with 12 lb test. Hybrid, it depends on the brand. Yozuri is decent. One Hybrid line, Fluoro coated that I use now that I found it is, P Line. I'll swear by it any day. On more than one occasion, my supervisor at Scambella's gave me a talking to for selling out all of our P Line to customers and then requesting another large order, when apparently, I was supposed to be selling people the High End Line. Hahahaha, silly me.
Good tips! I use my wife's hair dryer instead of hot water, seems to work pretty good..
Nice! As long as you're re-training the line!
Damn that's actually a good tip. Going to try this.
Great video Debo your exactly right. About the spooling line twist tend to come. Would love to see another trout video . thats all im fishing for right now. Take care
Nice! Trout are a ton of fun. I need to get out again soon!
Cool vid. I've always soaked the spool in a pot of hot water, then air dried before putting back on the reel. Still haven't tried braid on a spinning reel. Maybe one day
Yep, retraining that memory helps a lot! Thanks for watching 👊
This was extremely helpful!!! You can't believe how pissed off I was when I tried to put a new line in my reel for the first and only time I've done it. Thank you!

Thank you for another informative video. I would not have thought of the hot water trick!
Thank the Mr. Dance man! Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
FYI heat destroys and weakens mono and hot water will do the same to damage your line. Just use room temperature if you must. Best to start by removing spool completely from reel and attach to a power hand drill and spool like a baitcaster as you demonstrated in the beginning. Be careful not to lose spool spacing washers, if any, when taking your spool off.
Nice...nice...nice. I will try the heat thing and I just got one of those winder thingys and we will see how it goes as I have a renewed interest to fish so new line on all. Tight Lines everyone and Happy New Year.
Started not to watch this because I figured I wouldn't learn much but 1. The soap was hilarious! 2. I did NOT know about the hot water to retrain the line. I'll probably never use it because I'm a braid to leader guy but good to know! Always get something from these even if it's just a laugh.👊
Appreciate you sticking through it. Gotta have fun...life is too short👊
Thanks for this video huge help i may be wrong but to me that reel magic makes a difference
I feel like it does too. I'm just bad at reapplying throughout the year 😂
Great video! For me, I put braid straight on the reel and use a mono leader. To keep the braid from spinning on the reel, I just use electrical tape.
Boom! Another different way to do it that works. Thanks for watching 👊
i didn't have to use the spray and the hot water but i used your custom made spooling station and it worked really well also i hand no kinks and when i lifted the switch nothing sprung out great tutorial man i'm probably going to sub now and i know this video is 2 years ago and you probably won't see this but if you do thanks so much
I just got into fishing a year ago(started with a spin wheel) and this video was great. Especially the spooling and the difference between types of line. Gonna have to try braided with a liter
Thanks for the advice. I only use braid. After I add new line I let out all of my line behind my boat and whine up. Seems to help with line twisting.
Hi your video started out for beginners but as it went on it geared towards experienced persons. But hot water tip and first steps was nice.
I was a reel in closer of the bail until I started noticing you (and Nate Marling) close the bail manually. Worked on turning it into a habit as it seemed a smoother and easier technique, but now understanding the benefits why is so much more useful. Thanks for yet another useful tip!
Would love see a good spinning reel cleaning / maintenance / teardown video. Your baitcasting cleaning video was fantastic. Keep up the great work and awesome content.
I could try to do that. Those take a while to film and such. If it helps, that's what it's about!
@@DEBOSFishing Thanks Debo, I like the way you teach. Informative but you keep it light and fun. Very down to earth. Keep up the great work
Thanks deebster...first few times i went fishing..what a disaster...you described everything perfectly
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Always always trying to learn something new - Stretching and heating the mono. Love it.
Another trick I’ve used for years when spooling all my spinning reels is to drop my spool of line into a bucket of really warm/hot water and let it set for 24 hours or so before I spool my reel. Believe it or not, monofilament and fluorocarbon lines do absorb some water. So by soaking the whole spool in hot water before spooling eliminates the line memory and most, if not all of the twists and tangles!
Great tips man. I use the KVD stuff which helps a lot. I keep reel magic in the boat when it starts looping up again.
Yeah, I gotta get better at applying that stuff throughout the year! Hope you're well brother 👊
The hot water trick is great! It worked even better than a warm water soak that I’d seen lots of other people recommend.
Thanks for the super useful tips!
I have a line spool holder. Never have and line twist with it. 3 bucks from wish and it was worth the wait.
Nice! That's definitely worth it!
Nice timing of this video Debo. I was just about to re-spool my spinning rod and was thinking of going braid to mono.
Awesome! Hope the vid helped then man!
I found the best and easiest way to do it on two section rod, a small painting roller with the sponge roller. Trim the sponge to firmly hold the line reel. Put the roller handle on the end of the lower section with a cloth and gently tie to handle parallel to the rod with a paracord, velcro or cable tie. Leave the reel on the carpet and start spinning it. Sounds difficult, but it's only few minutes for a reel like the one in the video. I got two the exact same reels
Love your tip on lining with the box I use a similar spooling system but mine hole in the side of the box with line fed through to prevent any jumping off . But Omni flex 🤔let's just teach everyone to lose fish viscous stren and even trilene don't cost much more. But keep giving them tips I love your show
Lol soap pet peeve 😆😂🤣 I don’t buy those soaps for my hubby even though sometimes I do like the smell, so if and when I do I always make sure there’s unscented just regular soap for him. Thank you for this video to show us how. So need this as a beginner learning everything!!!
Debo! This video and all others you have not only teaches me new things but saves the day!
You rock dude. Keep em’ coming. Cheers!
I agree. No matter which way the spool is, u get line twist. I even tried floating it behind the kayak after spoiling it. That did NOT WORK 😆😆. I am going to try the warm water next time and see how that goes. Mono line twisting and not laying flat is why I got started using braid. Have a hard time going back.
Yeah, braid just has so many less headaches! Thanks for watching 👊
Thankyou for the great line twist tips!
Fish on baby!
That Trilene is great line, bloody tough too!
Yeah, it has always worked for me!
Great video I always have problems with line twist on my spinny reels, this will help.
I hope this helps out! Thanks for watching 👊
Also, great explanation and point to handle the bail after a cast. I never even realized I do that out of habit. But huge for beginners to know. I had never heard of this warm water track. Thanks man good one also put the.
*trick . That’s why I always buy the spool of line that is already shaped/closest to the size of my fishing reel.
I had line jump off and actually get INSIDE my reel (the same Shimano reel you have). Broke my rod tip accidentally taking things down to fix the reel. Had to take it apart at the lake. Retired it for the evening and just used my baitcaster. I hope I got the reel put back together right! :-/ Yep, I think braid is the way to go!
Dang! Hopefully popping the spool off solves it! Good luck!
