I typically don’t tie a knot on mine. I run the line in one of the holes on the spool and slowly turn the handle so that the spool makes about 5 full revolutions. After that I pull the line right and reel it. I used to tie knots for them but I felt like that kept screwing up the way the line sat on the spool so I stopped doing that. Fishing is a personal enjoyment so do all of it whatever makes you the happiest. 👊👍
I found that feeding the line through like how you did ends up cutting the line very easily. Maybe it’s just my reel but I had to tie around because those holes are not rounded off for me
@@Ccvmkkk it’s very descriptive I’m trying to show an example to one of my friends because they can’t learn from me and he’s already got his first few casts goign
@@teeanahera8949true the holes could be sharp but they are not in any way shape or form for water drainage! the spool only has hole's in it to make it lighter
I tied this knot and it slipped. I think with an arbor not you're supposed to go over hand knot around the main line, and then another overhand knot with the tag end around the main line again.
Very informative 👌 little tip put your fresh line in a bucket of water this stops its from spoiling to much
Thank you. I’ll try that with the line.
To late 😂
Use hot water. It will expand and relax the line.

I'd definitely tie a knot to keep the line from slipping on the spool
So you're lure and line go flying
You’re gonna lose 300 yards of line and it’ll end up in a motor.
Your supposed to go all the way around the spool. The best knot I have found it a uni knot with 4 loops so the knot is not to big
You don’t have to
Thank you so much for this video ❤

Finally a video that actually makes sense
Nope.

No it doesn’t, the holes in the spool are for water drainage and may be sharp, you run the risk of cutting your line at the knot.

How about a smooth reel 🤔?
I have a question ❓ is it necessary to add backing to a bait caster reel
Yes
Only if you are using braid
No
Only for braid but you can also tie braid to the reel in the holes or put electrical tape on the knot so it won’t slip
Such a W video
Can I put 20 pound line
Depends on the size your reel is capable of
Or get a Team Lew's Pro-Ti Baitcast Reel

yes there is supposed to be 3 total overhand knots, not 2 like shown in this video, but if you have thick line 2 can work
I have the same reel
ya because i know what an “armor knot” is
the knot is the main character
How to know if my spool is full
Hey busted while you said hi
Oh no you aren’t supposed to use a towel…. the fish can smell it and not want to bite
Yeah. Not all reels have those holes on the spool. Not helpful at all.
👍🏿
I'm confused
All i see is your hand
Knots irrelevant. All spools are different
Your answer is far worse than the video.
What doesn't make sense
Not good at explaining what !
Not a good video do not watch.
How so
Very bad. Don’t make sense. Not good at explaining.
