I can say after one year that knot was strong and I go back to this video to redo a new spool thank you!
Awesome! Glad I could help
I just shared the video you did on this subject last year to a person having issues on Facebook. As always, your tips are spot on! Sincere thanks for everything you do for us! 👍
Lemme tell ya, I couldn’t be happier to see that you posted this. I’ve always hated backing reels w mono, and now I’ll never do it again. I appreciate this one brother!
You made it super easy to understand, took me a few tries to find a good one! love the use of the rope as a demo. Best method I have used for tying and spooling braid!
I’ve reviewed quite a few videos on spooling braid onto a bait cast reel, and I am so glad I just found yours👍👍👍👍 I’ve tried the floro backing and the tape, and I will never use either of those again, and I think your tip on removing the spool is the cleanest and most practical method of any other way I have seen. I appreciate your channel, Thanks 🙏🍀🎣🍀
Hey Chad - I've been fishing for over 45 years and never stop learning. Great video. As reference, have several Shimano & Daiwa Baitcasters that I either use Mono backing or use a small piece of electrical tape. I have never had an issue with either of those methods. This year, once I get my reels back from maintenance, I will re-spool them all. I use the method of re-spooling braid from one reel to another every other year. This year is NEW braid year. I will try this arbor knot method to see how it goes. But I have never had electrical tape deteriorate. When I take the line off, the tape is still sticky and in good shape. Again, great tip and I look forward to trying it. 🎣
I'm almost 60 , been fishing since I was a kid and I've always been intimidated filling a baitcaster with braided . I've always paid a fortune per foot for the luxury of the shop putting the line on for me .
That is no longer the case because of this video .
Removing the spool first was such a genius move on your part .
Thank you for this video tutorial .
Those are both great tips. I will definitely use them very soon!
Just came back to this video after cleaning and lubing a reel that I was about to give up on, I thought the drag was shot. I marked the reel with a marker and applied tension to the line and the spool didn't move but the line slid on the spool. Came back to rewatch and no more slip. Thanks Chad.
Great video, thank you! I'm not a fan of mono backing on baitcasters and your technique shows a great way to avoid slippage while still using straight braid on the spool.
Awesome tips Chad. Saving 'frustration' is what it's all about!
Thanks brother, that’s literally my number one goal. Less frustration = better (more) fishing
I just got one about a month ago and I love it
Great tip on securing the arbor knot to the spool!!!
You’re gonna love that curado dc. My favorite reel so far.
I like your video, your method of using all Braid or all Mono made very good sense, its a question that I always had because of the DC functions to different types of line. Also, you method of tying the line is superior. Thanks and God Bless.
Thanks for the tips - deeply appreciated
Glad this popped up on my feed been thinking of switching my braid reels to running backing tape or mono backer but couldn’t see myself doing it cuz I haven’t had an issues with the braid straight to the spool and I run this same method
That's how I do it. Good stuff man.
Hi Chad Im getting it and you explain that really great
Thank you Chad for the tips!
Any time! Thanks for watching
Thanks just got ny first baitcaster today, the curado DC. Looking forward to it.
Great tip thank you
Thanks BSO!!
Would love to fish with my Navy brother, when are you coming to Texas. Thanks for the braid-to-spool tip, I'll be using that going forward. I actually used a piece of tape on my first DC reel and when I went to re-spool it, I thought the spool was delaminating so I ordered another spool. After I received the new spool I took the old one off and realized it was the tape. Now I have one spooled with braid and one with flourocarbon.
I knew about the slip knot, but i will have to try the two half hitches. I usually do electrical tape. Can't wait to try this method.
Good stuff dude
Few turns on the spool with some copolymer connected to braid with an Alberto knot and good to go imo. To each their own. Thanks for sharing!
You will still get potential slippage and you also have to tie more knots and the bulk of the Alberto knot causes the line to stack unevenly on the spool, which in many cases is the cause of backlashes for some people. But you are 100% right, if works for you, it works for you. My job on this channel is to share tips with people and hopefully help them avoid issues and frustration and get more out of their fishing experience.
@@ChadHooverFishing Much respect Chad!
This works so well i love it. I had to do it like 5 times to get it right lol .Thanks Chad !
Glad to help! Can I ask what the hard part was that caused the four failures?
@@ChadHooverFishing well short answer is stupidity on my end , and honestly it was my first time touching a baitcaster so it was all new to me. The arbour knot confusef the first time i got it right on the second try. Then i realized I didnt pass the line through the reel guide. Undid it and passed it through the guide but not through the inside of the of reel so i couldn't put the spool back. Last thing was the extra loop knots , but i figured that out quickly. All in all I fully agree with you this is the best way to spool braid , mono backing and tapes are just bad ideas
I've always found that rubber bands work really well keeping my bulk spools of line on the spool. And I always have plenty of rubber bands skipping around because I use them for a lot of things.
The only downside to rubber bands is they break down and dry rot really easily and if you ever get them near anything Z-man they will cause a giant (and expensive) melt down mess.
Thank Chad, I recently purchased 2 baitcasters and they will be loaded with braid. I appreciate the solution because I also don't like the tape or mono methods.
Thanks and glad I could help
Thank you Sir
Chad your How to vids are always a big help. BTW what line cutter are you using on your vest?
Best knot ever
Thank you for showing me how to spool a fishing rod
👍
Great video. Thank you very useful. Quick question where can I get a fishing line cutter like the one on the right side of your vest. Thanks have a great day
Been using this method since you showed it to use at Bienville years ago. Made my time on the water much more hassle free.
Prefer the SLX DC to the Curado. Exact same braking system and costs less. The micromodule gears in the Curado don't offer any real on-water benefit and are more sensitive to wear and gear lash. The extra bearings in the reel are there to keep the smaller gear teeth from stripping not make the reel any smoother. I own several Curado DC reels, but had the SLX DC come out at the same time, I'd probably only own the first one that I bought to try out and the others would be SLX. My SLX DC is always on my frog rod and my Curado DC reels sit in a reel case.
Thanks for sharing. I plan to do a side by side comparison down the road.
Thanks Chad, another helpful video.
What are ya using to hold your spools of line? Looks like heavy wire and hanging it in your bed cover?
It’s just a piece of old bungee cord tied in a knot.
Like it.
Thanks Jolly! 👊🏻
What's the advantage of a smooth spool vs one with holes in it like Lews does? The drilled out spools are lighter and makes it much easier to tie line onto them.
I just stick the line through the holes in the spool and tie two overhand knots xD never had issues with that lol.
Only 10% of those that viewed this actually take the time to hit the like button. Guys it takes alot of effort by Chad to do these videos so we can be better fishermen, all he asks for in return is to push the thumbs up button, why can't, you that don't help him out and just do it..I bet everytime he posts a new one you can't click watch it fast enough..it's a very small gesture that would really help Chad and the kayak industry as a whole to become better and we all learn more about kayak fishing..
Thanks Scott. I truly appreciate that. 🙏
The other 90% is wondering why you would fill your reel with braid when you can use a mono filler
@@mindhax_Braid is better
One is probably only using a qtr of that line per end. Especially if you’re just bass fishing. The middle half is untouched & wasted. So yes backing saves, as you put just the right amount.
I took the mono backing route simply because I had mono on my baitcasters before switching to braid. Feels like a waste pulling off unused line, was able to make 150 yards of 30 lb enough for 2 reels.
What pound test you put on that curado
Great video! What’s different for fluorocarbon? Any links to previous a video? I really struggle with fluorocarbon making telephone cord style ringlets on my baitcasters
It’s exactly the same. I use line conditioner if I fish straight flouro, but I also don’t get those ringlets like you are talking about because I fish quite a bit, those usually happen when the rod sets up for a long time. Even if you can’t go fishing, grab a rod and get out in the yard for an hour or so and do some flipping, pitching and casting practice and keep your line and skills tuned up. 👊🏻
@@ChadHooverFishing Awesome I was thinking that could be a reason and I definitely need the practice
@@ChadHooverFishing braid doesn’t have any of these problems because it has no memory right?
I know I want that line cutter 😂
Yessir, it’s worth triple its weight in gold
@@ChadHooverFishing mind sharing intel on how one might acquire one? 😉
Chad, can this knot/cinch down method work with braid on a spinning reel? Thanks..
Yeap! I’m releasing that video very soon. I’ve done it in the past, but I reshot it recently and it will release this week.
100 💯
How do you get proper measurements of various strength line?
Will this method work with spinning reel spools?
what is that little think he used to cut the line? orange ring.. i want one
How do keep your braid from sinking down into your spool like after catching a fish
Many bait caster spools have holes through the spool. I feed the line through the hole and then tie a clinch knot.
Those holes have relatively sharp edges and it will cut the line over time if it works for you it works, it’s just
Something I would recommend, especially since many spools don’t have those holes.
Dude! I just did this cuz I had my braided line slip the barrel!
Then my timing was impeccable 😂😂😂
if it goes on the spool uneven do you just pull it out and start over?
Yeap
So when doing your half hitches does it matter which way you flip your line? (I hope I asked that the right way).
I don’t think it matters. I’ve never thought about it like that. Next time I tie it I will pay more attention and get back to you or do an updated video about it
@@ChadHooverFishing ok cool. I myself don’t want to use backing and I was trying to figure out a way to tie directly to spool without the slipping. I by watching you video found a way on both bait caster and spinning to use straight braid no backing. Now I learning to use a leader. However just didn’t know if you turned the line a certain way. I look forward to the update. Thanks
@@ChadHooverFishing however I think I answered my own question. LoL. Just make sure when you turn your line that the line needs to face the way it would spool off and on the spool.
Hey Chad are there fishing chaos stickers? If so where do I get one?
There are. I got mine directly from them. I will find out if they sell them and get back to you.
@@ChadHooverFishing ok thanks. They look pretty sharp
I just tried this 4 times and could not get the line to not slip on my spool. The only reason I can think is I have a scorpion dc with the tapered spool. It has a slight v appearance to it where the center of the spool is deeper than the outer portion.
Just add one or two more back and forths with the half hitch and it should still work. Or,
You can tighten it slightly between each half hitch and that may help. I will see if I can find a Scorpion to try it on, but I think it’s the same spool as the Metanium on some Chronarchs so it should work.
I will circle back if I’m able to figure anything out for you, thanks for the feedback
@@ChadHooverFishing after about 5 or 6 sets of half hitches it got tight enough to where I couldn't get it to spin at all on the spool. Not sure other than the spool shape why it took so many to get it that secure but we'll see how it performs! Thank you for the response!
Just noticed the ring tatto
Kristie has the same one. 😜
I noticed it too and thought about getting one.
That spool will collapse and bend inwards before that line slips and spins with that half hitch technique.
Yessir!! 👊🏻
Chad, I am apparently the weak link in the chain. I have watched the video over 30 times step by step and I cannot get the line to stop spinning and not load onto the real. HELP!!!
Are you flipping it in each direction and locking it in place
spinning reel forever lol
I have never thought to tie it to the spool out of the reel like that. Especially tie the knot and then put the spool through it. I’ve been struggling with putting the line in the openings and trying to reel it around.
Hi you spend to much time and not cash any fish
Way over complicated this process. Way!!! Again, chad not speaking to the normal fisherman
It’s actually LESS complicated than adding a backer, way less complicated than constantly dealing with backlashes caused by improper spool balance and weight change while the line is going out and way less complicated that glueing, taping or otherwise doing something that will just cause more problems down the road. And actually, I am talking to the “normal” fisherman and trying to save them time and money because most work a regular full time “normal” job and don’t have as much time to experiment with stuff, figure out how to solve those problems long term and share it with others. So, I appreciate your comment and I truly appreciate you watching, but we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.
@@ChadHooverFishing I tie my line to the spool with a knot and reel it up. That’s less complicated. Never had a problem. That’s all you need to do people.
@@seanmyhre1305 if u do just that its going to slip around the spool dumdum!
@@alphaomega9387 mine don’t slip at all. Why would it slip?
This dude only did this video to show off his useless vest accessories. All this is completely unnecessary
