Number 1, I hope I never have to give up that much line that the knot wa-a-a-ay down there matters. I’d need a bigger spool. Next I just use a good old arbor knot. Never had a problem.
I'm old. I think I've looped maybe a half dozen times. But for the past 40+ years I just put my line through that small clip lip on the side of the reel shaped like a tiny guitar Pic then load the spool no tying at all.
Overhand knots work perfectly fine too. Never had a problem with it fishing for 35 years. My father showed me the same, he’s been fishing for about 65 years.
I got a roll of red duck tape I’ve been using for this for the last year and it’s never failed me Just know if you can see the tape after you cast you’re in the danger zone 😂😂

I use a variation on the arbor knot. I tie the knot, then make a "double loop" in it around the spool. When putting it on the spool, I do it in such a way that, as I pull the knot to tighten it on the spool. Works for me.

Uni knot is great it can pretty much do anything. Tie line onto spool, connect backing to braid, connect leaders, baits, lures, weights, it just does it all!
Been fishing for yrs. I don't know why I've never thought of tying the spool this way. Sometime it's just someone seeing things diff. to help us all. Thanks Brother.
Yeah ngl i use the first knot from shoe tying and do it twice because if a fish gets me that low most likely it’s gonna spool me regardless of the knot
If the fish is that strong, all that's gonna happen is you most likely break the rod. Like you said, use more line and get more experience with the drag.
Ive never even heard of tying the line to the reel. Just wrap it around a few times and wind it up, It's not going anywhere. If you allow the fish to take the full spool, 😂
This is a great way to tie the knot and to be truthful I have always used the other style knot and just spooled my line on and it would lay around the knot and eventually covering it and you would never see it and no issues either. I will have to try this knot and thanks for sharing this with us!
I use the sticker that on the spool of line when you buy one.... it works great...tuck tape would work too.... that way my casts are seamless.... make sure your always have enough line on your reel though
I mean from the books, magazines and articles online ive read for decades, the arbor knot or a similar variation is widely regarded as the "proper" way for spinning reels. To be honest what you get to work is fine. I personally run a little fabric medical tape with a quick hit 3m spray adhesive on the spool only not on the tape😂. Tape gives the line friction and allows your knot to sinch tighter. Dont forget line lube or to wet your line for a tighter sinch. (Note you tape the spool before adding line, its ok to add some though on the line once you have a few wraps around it) another protip, cast your pole as far as you can, pull out 10 more feet and tape the line on the spool. If you backlash or birdnest, it only affected the line past the tape. Use gorrila tape or a water proof tape for this since the area isnt as protected from water. Edit: Thanks for the 👍
If a fish runs your whole reel out of line, you weren't going to catch that fish anyway and your line will snap at whatever knot you had tied around the reel. Because if your line wasn't going to snap no matter what, then you should have just reeled the damn fish in.@@jasondadudetoo4176
Thank you for posting this and also making it short and quickly to learn I had a little trouble at first but after watching it you’re a clip a few times I was able to do it on my 3rd try🎉
On my spinning reels I do this same uni knot but I put a small piece of electrical tape on top of the knot to smooth out the lump. Spools perfectly every time!
I tie it off the spool just like you tie your shoe except you go threw the loop twice and she holds nicely, the knot is nice and small, im sure youd run into some issues ocean fishin but it works for lakes and rivers nicely😌
I make a Loop at the end,...and pull the Main Line through the Loop,...then place the Line on the Spool in such a fashion that when "Spooling" the line on, it causes the line to "Synch" onto the Spool,...has worked quite well for me for some 50 years of fishing! My method enables the line to lay even 'flatter' than this method!
Lol for the last 30 years I’ve been using the line hook on the side of my spool to hold my starting line and just stick a pencil in the line and reel. I’ve been doing it wrong all these years 😂 oh well if it’s not broke don’t fix it
Glad I seen this cuz I've always just rapped the line around the triangle tab thingy knowing I'm not gonna get a fish big enough to drag my line all the way out.
Arbor knot is much simpler, tried and true, even more important on conventional reels AND last but most - has one purpose - attaching line to the spool/arbor!
Haven’t seen one of videos in years. Randomly remembered your channel and I’m glad to see how you’ve grown, both the channel and as a great guy! Bummer about the crabs, next time though!
I was spooled by a 120lb Yellowfin Tuna and that knot was the difference between catch and release. You folks that never get to the bottom of the spool probably don't roll your condoms down all the way, either.😂
Strength of the knot holding the line to the reel is not an issue. If it has already spooled you, it will break whatever knot is there. Just use an overhand knot, cover it with some kind of tape to flatten it, and be done with it.

I just use the piece of tape that comes on the new line. No need to have a large knot creating a big bump
Am I crazy because I do the same thing. Overhand knot with a couple wraps of electrical tape or cloth hockey stick tape

@@colbybowen9590 DANGER ZONE!!!
Man up and learn to tie knots with your little boy fingers. Lmao tape how pathetic and unreliable.
2 over hand knots one on th tag and then one over the main line to keep the tag end from slipping out. Easiest most effective and efficient way
was literally about to say this 😂 its basically knotless when on the spool and ive never and any slips or nothing
I do the same
That’s all I ever do too! Simple and quick-no need for a great knot since it’s never going to be any pressure on it. This is all about spoiling.

Yes. They call that the arbor knot. It’s just slip knot.

Arbor knot.. called that because you tie it around the spool arbor. That's literally what it's for. Super small. Easy to tie. Holds great.
I'm thinking that since rope and trees existed long before fishing reels that the 'arbor knot' has more to do with ropes and trees than fishing.

Never Tied Off My Line In 40+ Years. Get More Line, Know It's Limits & Just Give It 7 Twists Parallel To The Line. No Lumps To Catch You Up.

What is tuck tape is that when them dudes that think they are women use?
I reckon you've never been spooled by a fish before. That knot is literally your last chance to land one hell of a fish.
Did that only once because I got spoiled by a 15 lb trout
I run about 25% more then the suggested line amount allows, I prefer open face reels. However, I’ve never had a fish take 200yrds of line lol
@@goinhot9133 .....*than
No matter how you tie it, I would use a strip of tape around the fishing line to hold the fishing line onto the spool.
Only necessary with braid. Also, youncan use a clove hitch to do the same.

I like what you've done and appreciate you sharing your method. It looks clean and I for one like everything I do to look clean.
I honestly use the little line holder hook on the reel if y’all have one
I wrap it around that twice and burn the end for me it acts just like a knot on the reel itself
I was wondering if they old enough to know this.. 😂😂😂 young pups..
I was thinking the same thing. Why not use the line tab on side of the spool? Has worked great for me for years.
Had to find this comment
I usually tie a slip knot for all my reels and it always never leaves a lump
I use the uni knot and will try this when i respool my reels this weekend
I wrap it around a few times, then do two overhand knots. That's what my cousin taught me, and it has never failed.

Edit: Thanks for the 👍
I do a single overhand knot it me end of the line. I do a double overhand and make a loop. Pull tight that’s it. No big knot and no bs.
Same here. I thought everyone did it that way
same. these newbs act like they're reinventing the wheel lol
Called an Arbor knot. It’s definitely slimmer than this one,
@@dormie9overhand and arbor are separate knots
Yep been doing this since a kid so almost 30 years never been a problem lol
I just use a piece of electrical tape in case the line runs out I still got my pole lol😂😂😂
My tripple underhand knot has never once given me a problem 😌
This is why I like bait casters tie it how ever you want and tuck it
Very impressive! Although a knot is gonna be bulky regardless of which style you tie it in. Anyways, I will give this a try! 😊
😁
the only thing impressive here is how people with Internet and all decide to invent instead of search :-)
Wouldn't be great to see that knot in use ,as you ALMOST get spooled 😂
Am I the only one who just wraps it around till you can just reel It in😂
Nope. I do that too.
woooow....i use tape no knot...always smooth
All mine have a little triangle anchor thing on the side I wrap it around
That's for the other end of the line, and it's not going to hold the line on the spool if you get a fish big enough to run your line out....
That's not what that little thing is for. If you take the reel off, that's where you stick the tag end of the line to keep it from unspooling

Overhand knot, works like a charm and lays even flatter
For the past 20 years I usually just tied an arbor knot onto the spool.
I fished for 40 years and never seen such a thing. A square knot around the spool. Simple.
This is also simple.
Cool... In 3 years when I respool my pole I will have completely forgotten this.
Man… that’s really awesome. In addition once tied slid that first loop all the way up or down the reel to keep it out of the way even more.

Dont tell any one to push the knob down to the botom of the spool .... Perfect job done dude....
OMG!!!! You genius!!! I think this was the first knot I knew to spool my reels at 5years old.
Secret - there’s better ones. 🤪

Arbor knot is smaller and does a great job.
Strength of the knot holding the line to the reel is not an issue. If it has already spooled you, it will break whatever knot is there. Just use an overhand knot, cover it with some kind of tape to flatten it, and be done with it.
Beautiful! It's a great tip!
Whatever knot you tie, if you ever make it down to that bare spool , you definitely already lost the fish 😂!
Simple cinch knot works great stays flat on 2 spins and simple to do
Just a granny knot will do . If the fish has taken all the line to the bottom of spool its gonna keep goin 😂😂😂
Couple shoelace knots are nice
I use a double backhand, under the rainbow, knuckle dusting, fox head hitch and it works just fine.
I found it’s best with no knot. Way easier to restring it later. Just don’t let it unwind all the way haha
I do a lasso style knot. No bulk and never fails
Double hand knot has never failed me once.
I just tie a basic knot like a shoe lace. Never had issues.
