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
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!
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.
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.
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 .
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
@@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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Actually I would find a football field or something and walk it all off in a straight line, tie a swivel to the end and a leader to the swivel, have someone hold the lead and reel them in while running the line through your fingers, that should get most of the twist out.
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.
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.
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.
What size president reel is that. That looks like the size I want for a new ultralight (light duty) and have heard great things about that model. Also cool hot water trick I'll have to try that next time I use non braided line.
Hi. I just got a new Shimano FX1000 ultralight. I got 10lb and 12lb fishing line for my Ugly Stick GX2. Does it really make a difference if I use thicker fishing line on an ultralight? I'm still going to buy some 6lb line for it but I was wondering.. If you were stranded on an island and all you had were ultralight fishing poles and 12lb line, I feel like it would still work. I'm going to buy the 6lb line tomorrow.
It will definitely make a difference. That setup will not cast and function as well with that heavier line. That being said if I was stranded on an island I would use whatever I could get ahold of.
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!
I have a spinning reel and baitcaster, I like that tip, going to use it. I have a question, if I use braided line on spinning reel, do I need to put spool in water like you did the mono?
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 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
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.
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
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 .
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
hmm my post has a gear and a plastic washer on top of it but no metal washer and ball bearing like yours,is this normal for some designs? says i got 8 ball bearings,i see yours is 10
@@MidwestBassHunter yeah but its still technically a gear with teeth and the ratchet with the spring(on the inner part of the spool) clicks on it,,like you said the drag system
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.
Thanks for the video. Wouldn't you know it.......first time I tried this, the spool of line (PLine CX) came off clockwise, not counterclockwise. Since I'm using the same Pfleuger reel as in the video, I assume all I have to do is place the spool with label DOWN, not up. Correct?
@@GLOCKCOPG23 Label facing up is not always correct ... but coming off counter clockwise is always correct. Not all manufacturers have the line coming off counter clockwise when the label is facing up.
@@adammckenzie605 No fail method. Spool the line any way. Take rod and reel out on your boat. Let the line out while running at good speed. No weight or lure, just bare line. Now reel it in. It will lie flat on spool. This works if line kinks up after you fish with a spinner that twists up the line .
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.
First time I’ve ever seen the warm water trick... I will be trying that for sure. Very helpful. Thank you

Is that a pflueger reel? How much line can it hold. I think I have 12 lb and 14lb mono. Mostly going after bass and pike
It is a Pfluger reel, if you are putting that big of line on it, use a 3000 or 4000 size reel. You’ll get 100-150 yards of line or more on it.

@@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
Who plays the music at the beginning ?
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.
Just watched your video again. Quick question, how long would you suggest the spool be left in the water?.
I do about five minutes
@@MidwestBassHunter Cheers.
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.
Thanks very helpful and informative.
You bet!
One question why do you use the towel is it too keep it from curling and how many mins do you put the line in the warm water?
I use the towel so I can keep good pressure on the line without burning my fingers. 2-3 minutes on the water trick.
Midwest Bass Hunter thank you this is prob the best channel I watched on RUclips
Awesome stuff! I’ll remember to do the water trick!
It's crazy that it works but it does!

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

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
Yup. The warm water truck was worth the watch. Thanks bud!
It works good!
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

hmm my post has a gear and a plastic washer on top of it but no metal washer and ball bearing like yours,is this normal for some designs? says i got 8 ball bearings,i see yours is 10
Yeah that’s normal and that’s not a gear it part of the clicker that you hear when a fish pulls drag.
@@MidwestBassHunter yeah but its still technically a gear with teeth and the ratchet with the spring(on the inner part of the spool) clicks on it,,like you said the drag system
Very good tips.Nice video with good explanation.Keep the good work
👍
Great video
Thanks
Hey man! I got a zebco spinreel brand new. I took some wire to bait and I threw it into the water had a bait but it doesn’t reel back the wire.
Tighten the drag
Can you do that to baitcast too warm water?
No
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.
Thanks for the video!
👍
Great video👍 just brought myself a new beach caster, reel and mono , this really helped me. Thanks 😁
Awesome thanks for watching!
It really helped me
Awesome!
Thanks for the video. Wouldn't you know it.......first time I tried this, the spool of line (PLine CX) came off clockwise, not counterclockwise. Since I'm using the same Pfleuger reel as in the video, I assume all I have to do is place the spool with label DOWN, not up. Correct?
Correct
Midwest Bass Hunter No, label facing up with line coming off the filler spool in counter clockwise direction.
@@GLOCKCOPG23 Label facing up is not always correct ... but coming off counter clockwise is always correct. Not all manufacturers have the line coming off counter clockwise when the label is facing up.
@@adammckenzie605 No fail method. Spool the line any way. Take rod and reel out on your boat. Let the line out while running at good speed. No weight or lure, just bare line. Now reel it in. It will lie flat on spool. This works if line kinks up after you fish with a spinner that twists up the line
.
Does soaking the spool in warm water works on braid?
Braid doesn’t have memory so no need
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
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.
