Great tip been doing it like that for 20 plus years, I do place the spool of line in water while I load the spool, and keep tension with my fingers you get a little wet but you end up with a well loaded reel. Enjoy your videos
Thanks for watching. I’ll have to try that next time.
First time I’ve ever seen the warm water trick... I will be trying that for sure. Very helpful. Thank you
Awesome
First time I`ve heard about that & I`m sure it will work. At 79 yrs old it is hard to find something new THANKS
Never too old to learn! Thanks for watching!
Got my first spinning reel, bought some line and had no idea as to what or how to put the line on. Thank you for your very informative video, I will be putting the line in a minute or two. Thank you!
Awesome!
Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you.
You are welcome
I run my line through the middle of a good size book to keep the tension on it. Works like a charm
I’ll have to try that.
Thanks for the tip.
Right in the middle of the phone book ( if u can find a phone book )
The part where you said “no matter what type of line it is, as long as you have the label pointed to the sky, it will come off the proper way” is entirely false. Depending on the manufacturer line is spooled in different directions. Although most are spooled the same, some are not, I’ve seen it. The key is that you want the line to come off counter clockwise.
I agree totally . The label has nothing to do with anything. If the reel winds on clockwise, the other spool needs to be coming off anti clockwise.
@@stevestumbaugh8982 this clockwise tip is great but, clockwise on the reel looking from where? I just now see that it's looking from handle through reel to spool.
Gotta go wind up a new reel.
Ohhhh so that’s why I’m making a tangled up mess each try and have to cut it off wasting line. I was following label up and that’s wrong for me. Wish I’d ran across this comment earlier as would saved me mass frustration. Damn near took it to a shop!
Exactly Redline. Not all manufacturers are alike. Case in point I just spooled on some 6 lb trilene, the line is supposed to come off the Spool in the counterclockwise rotation, the label is facing towards my bed. The correct way of saying it is the line is supposed to come off counter-clockwise, nothing to do with the label. Mike Iaconelli and others will tell ya the same 😅
@@hardrockminer-50 Looking from the rod tip at the spool end of the reel. If the bail turns clockwise the line spool should lay on whichever end that has the line coming off counterclockwise.
the warm water is an amazing trick i used to have so much trouble with new line before , thank you
👍👍👍
Dude the line memory on my spinning reels has been driving me insane for YEARS, and until RUclips and social media came to pass I never had anyone around me to teach me how to load the reels correctly! Will be redoing all my reels today with your method plus leaving my spool in the warm water while reeling it on like a previous person suggested. Thanks a million for curing my years of anger and frustration!!!
Great. Just be aware that if you are reeling it up make sure if the line is twisting flip your spool over. I have learned since I made this video that the label up is not always true.
THANK YOU!!!! After taking many years off from fishing, mostly because everything I had was stolen so many years ago it disgusted me, I got back into with spinning reels last year. Towards the end of the year I was having some horrible line issues to which I would strip some line off and start over. I was raised on bait casters and wished I hadn’t picked up a spinning reel, but I did enjoy it a little more until the headaches started to remind me.
Hope this helps
I get a piece of wood with a nail in it, put the spool on the nail laying on the floor. Thread the line through all the eyes. When I'm reeling I lay a book on the line and reel it in naturally and never had a problem.
That's not a bad idea. I usually just have my gf or cousin or someone stick a pencil through and put tension on the line spool in-between there fingers. then reel it in normal. Then depending if they need to or not have them add or release tension on how tight theyre squeezing the line spool
I appreciate the detailed explanation. I have fished 30+ years with baitcast, Zebco's and fly reels. I recently bought a spinning reel and spooled it just as one would a baitcaster. Got to the lake and within 10 minutes I was cussing it due to twisted line. Now I'm going outside to get it from the building and re-spool it. Thanks.
Hope it helps buddy.
Great video. My son and I are getting on the banks and this helped me immensely
Awesome
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, 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 like you said shape it to that diameter,, let me know what you think about using the snap swivel like that
I think the snap swivel will work, but it better be a high quality swivel. Some swivels don’t swivel well when there is pressure on them.
@@MidwestBassHunter correct get one expensive high quality ball bearing snap swivel and even spray some wd40 or oil it up to help even more , this is also why i say to put tension and release a few times to help it remove any twists ,doing this intermittently while reeling the line
Man I never knew about any of these tips. I haven't used spinning reels that much and the main reasons are because of the problems you've shown how to avoid here. Gonna have to give these a try. Thanks for sharing this information bro.
No problem
The problems dont exist. Just have the spool revolving on something. Seriously. These American spooling videos have become a bit of a meme in the tackle store I work in.
Because of the size difference in the spools, reel vs new line spool, you will get line twist if you keep spool label up. Just watch the loop coils as you're loading the reel. When you see the coils getting smaller just flip the spool. I do it with my feet. Just keep alternating the spool, label up and label down. Have done it this way for years and don't have a problem with line twist. I hope this helps someone. Great tip on the warm water. I never knew. Tight lines brothers.
Good video, I agree from experience if the line does not come off the spool with the same rotation as the reel it will tend to birdcage and you have a mess, especially if there is any slack on the cast. If you spool in the wrong direction then you can usually put a heavy weight on the line and cast as far as you can, then it tends to reel back on correctly.
I have had to walk all of the line off the reel and reel it back on, thanks for watching!
Good stuff
Warm water memory bonus!
All I could think of when watching this video was when we bought the new reel for one of the kids and had the shop put it on. Then having to walk ALL the line out so we could reel it up correctly. Fun times.
I remember that, I was pissed!
Thanks for the hot water tip it worked great. It stopped my new line from unspooling evey time I opened the bail. Very frustrating. Thanks again!!!
It really helps
I have, on multiple occasions, seen supply spools (what you buy at the store when you get fishing line) loaded backwards. Most of them seemed to be large spools, like what is used by tackle shops. So, always check the direction the line is coming off the spool. Usually, you'll want the label facing up. But, not always. I think a lot of spools used by tackle shops are loaded differently, but I don't know why.
As long as the line is coming off the spool counter clockwise you’re good to go.
Dont depend on the spool label to be on the same side of the spool for all lines. Pay attention so the line comes off of the spool the same direction that it will be loaded onto your reel. The Hot Water trick will help set your line to the smaller spool of your reel.
Yes, once in a while they mess up on this! Also, if I see a twist set in, I will flip the spool for a few turns to reverse it. The line spool is a bigger diameter than your reel so a little twist can set in. The hot water trick is a good one that I will try - will reduce birds nests from line coming off the reel by itself.
if you have a boat, you can put it on any way it comes off the spool. All you have to do is let the line off the reel out behind the boat with nothen tied to it as you idle. Let pretty much all the line out and drag it behind the boat for a couple minutes and then reel it back on. The line will be completely straight no twist what so ever. Its good to do this every so often and you will never have trouble with twist.
That’s a great tip!
I just bought a new Mitchell 300 that I haven't spooled up yet. Thanks for the good information.
Bryan Dunlap you bet thanks for watching
Hey....I just bought the same reel as part of a combo. Ridiculously inexpensive. We'll see how these reels hold up. Good luck!!
Clyde Crashcup it’s a good unit.
Actually I used an old reel and spoiled it up with a towel. Then I hooked up the end to the actual reel which is the final destination to this line, set up brake on the old reel, this way when I roll it up, it will be the perfect tightness along the whole line.
Cool
Awesome idea about line memory brother.. I always get that line flap where the line comes off in huge circles and always causes twist ect... Love your VIDEOS
👍
@@MidwestBassHunter ✌️
First time spooling my reel today, with your video it was easy! Thanks
thanks Mike, all my years fishing and I rarely closed the bail by hand...makes sense!
👍
I wouldnt go by labels, just make sure it comes of ccw. I like to throw my spool in a container of hot water and spool it that way. Dont need anyone to hold it or worry about line twist.
The water trick works great!
Yeah, it helps a lot!
I've slipped on the max capacity banana peel before. That extra space is a good idea.
Yes it is.
If you line gets twist after fishing awhile cut bait off and as you idle boat let line out behind you. In half mile it will take all twist out of line. Works every time.
Good tip
Hey man, thanks for helping get me started up with my rods this season. I love the way you explain things. So simple and straight up. You made me laugh a lot with the funny was you say things! Anyway, have a great fishing season and good luck out there!
Thanks so much for the kind words
Very nicely explained by you thank you dude. Myself from INDIA. Informative video Good.
Glad I could help! 👍
Hello! your tutorial helped me solve the problem, very easy and practice , thank you so much , greetings from Chile .
Pd. the color reel is very elegant .
Glad I could help! What do you fish for in Chile?
@@MidwestBassHunter Hi, good morning ! trout and chinook salmon .
Thanks, great video, to the point with great explanation of why you're doing it, appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful!
heck yeah, ready to go now
👍👍👍
Label up doesn’t always work. Some companies coil counter clockwise and some coil clockwise. And there are occasions that you could get a spool from the same brand weight and all and the sticker is on the wrong side.
You are correct. Not always sticker up! pay attention which way the line comes off spool.
Really works thanks ur the best.
👍👍👍
Curious if it wouldn't be better to do the stretch task prior to the warm water normalization. Wouldn't the stretch task negatively affect the 'curl' diameter you just created?
I appreciate what I just learned from your video and will be using your recommendations, this afternoon in fact. Thanks for taking the time to record and post.
That might be a great idea!
Even tension is best done with another reel . Set it up so that your line goes from the spool , takes three turns around the slave reel then onto the reel you want to load . Line every thing up and set the drag on the slave reel so when the line is loading onto the reel you want to fill it's a perfect even tension . Set the tension correctly and it stretches the line while you're at it ..no water , no stretching required later , job done in one hit .
Interesting 🤔
Very good idea
I am newer Fisher and I thought about going to the bait shop but I was embarrassed they might laugh at me if I asked to to show me how to put a line on spinning reel.
First of all who cares if they laugh at you, but yeah lots of places will put line on for you.
Awesome 1st video I've seen where someone did it RIGHT YAY
Thanks for watching
Lucky me I got to finally learn right way to correctly line my spinning reel !! It actually works !! No BS
So I just wasted my time watching this because I thought I was spoiling my line wrong I've been doing it this way for years but that being said thanks for sharing
Anytime
Nice rod, Fenwick Eagle, have a few of them and love them for there versatility,light weight and feel......looks great too!
Agreed, good rod and not too spendy.
@@MidwestBassHunter What kind of Reel Is That ?
I want one !
:)
Great lesson. Understandable common sense.
Thanks
Please watch this video .
Both strengths and trilene have lines that come off clockwise and counterclockwise.
And when putting line on a bait caster with a pencil. The line should come off the top.
It was not mentioned in the video.
"The obvious is not always apparent to everyone".
When looking at the top of the spool. The bail goes around clockwise on 99.999% of modern reals. Set spool on table top so line comes off ccw
👍
I’ve even soaked the spool of line before putting it on the reel, just to make it go on the reel a bit easier. Great video though dude, I’ll have to try spoiling my next spinning straight from the spool.
Thanks for watching Travis.
The way I do it it don`t matter how the line comes off the filler spool
I soak the filler spool first a few times in warm water before it is put on the reel spool all so use a warm wet cloth as back up to get the line on tight , that way it gets the reel spool memory as it is going on
👍
My dad taught me that trick never had a problem with line twist
Nice!
Great video👍 just brought myself a new beach caster, reel and mono , this really helped me. Thanks 😁
Awesome thanks for watching!
Good timing on this video. I bought a brand new spool for this year and it has the worst memory I've ever had. To make matters worse, I'm going down to a 1000 size reel this year so the spool size is even smaller. I just respooled it and I'm trying the warm water trick. We'll see how it goes...
Good luck
Yep do it yourself ... this year was the first time I paid Bass Pro shop to do 2 new reels. I can hardly believe it, it literally springs off the reel! *I will never let anybody do it again ... and there going to get a peace of my mind!!!* Pretty much ruin my first day out today. I'll try the warm water dunk and remove some of the line they put way too much line on the reel. If that doesn't I guess I'll to get new line.
Always best to do it yourself
man yeah, gonna have to try this..
It works
No, thank you for your knowledge and time
Any time
Thank you!! very easy instructions, AND IT WORKED!!
Great
That water trick is game changer
Yes it is
Last tip is a good one
Thanks for this video, now i know why my line get tangled, specially on my spinning reel.
Glad I can help
@@MidwestBassHunter I just got now my baitcaster online, thanks again for the tutorial, it is very clear explanation. Now i will try it this week. :D
Awesome
Hair dryer. Usually solves my issue. I use nothing but mono.
Very useful and helpful thanks for sharing
Sometimes the best solution is the simple one. I did one last week with the pencil and it was a nightmare!!!!
I am going to reload all my rods today.
Nice
Watching from New Delhi India
Parveen Lyall thanks! That’s a long ways away. What do you fish for over there?
Great tips! The warm water helps alot for sure!
Thanks Double Down!
the line always come off counter that what the reel does . I have a President reel and it turns clockwise if you extent it to the spool it should come off the line spool Counter Clockwise. eliminating line,memory . if done right you won`t need to put your spool in a glass of water
I just run it through the first eyelet of my pole so I don’t have to hold it as I’m reeling it on
I run it thru all my eyes!
How do you get the spool to magically not jump around like a cracked out Chihuahua.
I think you should still hold it to keep some tension on it
@@skrimdog6151 bruh lmao
Good video but lable up doesn't always work I've had the line come off the backside of the spool always check and make sure which way the line comes off
Should the line come off clockwise or counter clockwise?
@@mikeallen1978 counter clockwise
It depends how your reel turns. If it turns clockwise than the line must come counterclockwise from the spool and vice versa
Thanks for the info. Cinti Kid
👍
Stren and Trilene are the two best monofiliment still
I have to agree with you, lot's of folks say Sten and Berkley lines are junk, BS, they are good lines and priced reasonably.
Would personaly rather fish Shakespeare $.99 filler spool line that Wal-Mart and K-Mart sold years ago, than Stren. Fished Stren for a few years, lost too many fish from broken knots so I switched to Trilene XL. Went to Tulsa Rod and Boat show many years ago and there were booths for both Stren and Trilene. Asked Trilene Rep if I could have 12" of 14# test. Walked it over to Stren booth and the guy was doing a demo, he had tied on 20# Stren with a Palomar knot to his testing machine. It broke (at the knot) at 21.2# (1.2# over, not bad). I tied an improved clinch in the Teilene 14# and asked him to string it on the machine. It broke (in the line) at 17.6# (3.6# over). Told him that should prove two things, Trilene line holds up better, and so does an inproved clinch. Many other angles have a different opinion, and I respect that. I can only speak to my personal experiences over 50+ years of angling.
Yup. The warm water truck was worth the watch. Thanks bud!
It works good!
New idea to me I will try this thanks
👍
I switched to braid to completely avoid this issue.
Yeah no twist with braid
Simple like I needed. Thank you
Glad I could help
Great video. Very descriptive and nice close ups. Going to try this out today on my new reel.
Good luck, if you have the spool label up make sure the line is coming off the spool counter clockwise, if its not just flip it over. Thanks for watching!
Viewer: watches a video on how to spool a spinning reel
This youtuber: if you cant see the knot i tie search it on youtube
Good point I should’ve shown the knot. It’s hard to properly video record a knot.
I highly recommend KVD line conditioner also works like a charm.
I've never tried it but heard good things about it, I'll check it out.
Lot of charm out here today.
Thanks u made it clear and simple
👍
Thanks very helpful and informative.
You bet!
Didn’t some places use line filler first so that you’d put about 140yrds of Strenn vs 200 yards. I almost always fish from shore so 200 yards is a lot of line. I’m talking back in the 70-80s which is the last time I had my local tackle shop put line on for me. The filler was put on first then the line.
I'm not sure about that as I was born in the 80's but backing line is definitely used with braid and sometimes flourocarbon line to save money. With monofilament it's pretty cheap so no need to use backing in my opinion.
Thanks man helped out a lot
Label up like my dad taught me 🤙
It really helped me
Awesome!
'..and have my wife .. to hold on to the spool..', well, good luck with that!
My wife always helps, with a little begging it’s no problem…
I used a figure 8 knot at end of line to let slip knot stop. Hope it holds on braided line.
I have never used that knot so I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️
@@MidwestBassHunter so far so good.
not all spools of line come off counter clockwise with label up ,some of your old mitchel reels turn opposite from newer spinning reels.when factory puts label on they dont put in on the same way every time hope this will help some begginers
👍
Great tips!
👍
They're not great tips .Theres no problem just having the line revolving on something. Seriously.
Great video
Thanks
Thank You. Good Job
Your Welcome
I love that reel
It's a great reel and not spendy either.
Having the label up is not correct in all circumstances. The line needs to come off counter clockwise.
Yeah, I listened to this vidoe about spool up and incorrectly spooled my reel with spider wire ez fluro.
It really doesn't matter which direction the label is going, so long as the line gets on the reel....
The line should be coming off the spool in the same direction your reel spins! I’ve had line that cane off counter clock wise, so I had to lay the spool down upside down bc my reel spins clock wise
Heat gun will put that label on the other side reel quick.
@@mikewest712 😂😂😂🤟
Thanks for using a good camera, dark background,
👍
Awesome stuff! I’ll remember to do the water trick!
It's crazy that it works but it does!
Makes total sense! Appreciate it!
Very well explained. Thanks
You bet
Good video with one or two exceptions. So, a possibly stupid question from a 50+ year Bass/Crappie angler who uses spinning and baitcasting gear on an almost equal basis. If you used the warm water to "Reset" the line memory from the larger diameter of the filler spool to the smaller diameter of the reel spool, why the last tip of stretching the line? And is that stretching of the line merely the last 12", or a longer or shorter distance? What purpose does stretching that segment of the line serve, unless you feel that it helps when tying on a lure or terminal tackle. Either way, it should be stated, because if it assists in tying on, shouldn't you mentiion that this is recommended before all reties as well? and wouldn't you cut that section off to remove the kink made by the line holder on the spool? I always do, anyway. One other point, the label pointing up has not always proven to work for this veteran fisherman, for some reason I have found that the label down works as well because it is not the label that matters, but the rotation that the line is flowing off of the filler spool and onto the reel spool. No matter which way the label faces, the line MUST uncoil counter-clockwise (right to left in front of the reel) if the line goes on the reel counter-clockwise (right to left viewed from behind the reel), and clockwise off the filler spool if clockwise on to the reel spool. Case in point, my Mitchell 300 winds line on with a clockwise rotation (viewed from behind), and my Okuma AV40 winds line on with a counter- clockwise rotation. If the "spool label UP" were set in stone, then many angler's reels would be spooled backward, or would be if they proceeded to spool on the loops and twists onto the reel while simultaneously cussing the proceedure. I seem to recall a couple of Tsunami spinning reels I had in the past which loaded clockwise also, maybe not, been a lot of years ago. But I still have my 300 here now, and if I loaded it as you stated, I'd prolly be cussing you as well as the reel. But fortunately I go by the rule I learned many years ago, "Off the filler spool in the same direction as on to the reel spool", and even that doesn't relieve 100% of line twist, but it's a heck of a lot better. Spinning reels "create" twist naturally. This is inherent because the line (under load from retreiving lures and landing fish) cannot turn 100% freely, even when a swivel is used, and most anglers tie directly to the the tackle or at best to a snap or split ring (I use a Duo-Loc snap most of the time myself). Even the minimal "load" or "drag" created by a lure will cause a small amount of line twist because the line is not spooled in parallel, but rather at 90° which causes an opposing rotation by the bail, and thusly some amount of "twist" is the result. There is currently no way around that fact. But if you can figure that one out, you're sure to be a rich person.
The warm water and the “stretching of the line are both helpful in reducing line memory. The stretching is just for that. As far as the label up or down, you are correct. I had always done it label up and it always was the correct direction, I have found some that are not spooled that way though since.
Bottom line, the line needs to be coming off the spool in the same direction that the bail on your reel is turning. This is counter - clockwise
👍
I usually stretch out line in my back field then wind onto my reel
Yep, that’s the way to do it
I'll have to try that warm water trick, I tried spooling on like how you did last time I put line but it didn't work so well.
Hmmm... I wonder if you did something differently. I use this method all the time and have really good results. The warms water definitely helps a lot though.
Hint, put a half hitch on reel before you put line on. Really helps me. Knot then half hitch.
Great tip
Never used mono lines before. Boy, I was not prepared for this. lol
Did you get it? Mono can be tricky.
@@MidwestBassHunter Yes I ended up buying a spooler machine and it helped tremendously.
@@ElixirEdits good deal!
Soaking in water makes your gasket weak and affect the drag later on. Try to open your spool and you'll see what i mean.
Yeah, you can take that out.
