OH MAN! Thank you for slowly and visually explaining the line direction and spinning reel direction! Perfect for us visual learners who have to picture what a person is saying to connect the dots!! Your one video was way better than the last 4 I tried understanding today on this topic!
I think I can even do you one better. I did another vid on just the line direction LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html I think this video explains it even a little better. Thanks for the comment, KPO.
Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod ruclips.net/user/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.
I've been trying to line my spin reels for weeks I watch 4 tutorials on how to line it and you are the only one that explained line direction thank you for taking the extra time and effort to really does mean alot
Jack, I'm so happy to help. I have a few other fishing line vids that you might be interested in. They are at my channel in the playlist section called "fishing line". Thanks for the support, KPO.
Idk if direction is all that crazy serious, what i do is spool it up, take the reel off the rod, and dunk it In a pot if boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute and it deletes the spool memory and shapes the string to your reel. I just fry it off after and shoot some lubricant in both sides of the top and bottom of the spool and then screw it back on
You did a excellent job on your videos you keep it simple without condescending tone and that's what makes your videos good. Keep it real, unscripted as much as you can, thanks for sharing. Excellent job stay awake, spread the word, protect the women and children.
This is the absolute best and SIMPLE tutorial on avoiding line twist. I've been doing "hit and miss" with this line twist hassle for 75 years. At last a solution that doesn't require buying any gadgets or fooling around with other stuff. Just a piece of cake to do it like this.
Don Kenny, thanks so much for that comment. If there are any questions left, I did a follow up video, LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html thanks again, KPO.
You tying the square/slip knot off of the reel and showing how to line up the spool with your reel really helped me as a visual learner that spaces stuff out easily, definitely keeping this bookmarked
Video was great, you explained things well so that even a Newby could understand. I figured out these things over the years, after many failed attempts and many tangles caused by line twist. Your explanation was one of the best I've come across on how it happens. Thx, and have a great fishing season
Talk about perfect timing ☺️ I was just going to load fishing line on one of my fishing reels but I decided to watch you tube videos before I do it and there shows up this video from you to me 😀 . I greatly appreciate your help 👉🏻👍🏻☺️
I watched a bunch of other videos to try and understand what they meant with coming off the spool and going on the reel the same way, yours was by far the best!
Duncan, thanks for taking the time to let me know that. Also check out two other vids I did, "Spooling a spinning reel - is there a wrong way to do it?" and "putting line on a spinning reel - is the myth true?". These two videos even add a little more to putting line on a spinning reel. Thanks again, KPO.
This is by far the best video to describe all of the key concepts that I've been screwing up. I picked up fishing again after a 20 year break from it and line twist has been the end of both my recent trips. I now know everything that I was doing wrong and how to correct it. Thank you.
seabaas, it will put a smile on my face if I can help you make up for 20 years of not fishing. We cannot let line twists impede all the catching up you have to do. Please let me know how everything works out. Thanks KPO
Great video! I’m sold on the knot you use to tie off to the spool and the method of determining line direction. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Thank you! So many channels overlook these early simple questions and know how. It's been decades since I've fished unfortunately, but I'm getting back into it and needed some help getting started again. Thank you so much for your help, just subbed and hope to see some more content!
Craig H, thanks a lot for that comment. I have a few other vids on the subject you might be interested in. Go to my channel and I have a fishing line playlist in the library section. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Great video and very informative. I just started fishing again after 15+ years break. Your video just showed me what I was doing wrong back then and nowadays too :) Thanks.
Paul, we have 15 years of non-fishing to make up!!! We cannot let line twists hold us back!!! LOL Check out my channel for other fishing vids too. Keep me posted on how the fishing is going for you. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Thanks Nud ,you explained Dat very simply,my whole life I been doing it wrong and sometimes doing it correctly just by chance , my dad always told me when u put line on your reel u have to do it thru tall grass to stop it from coiling off spool and making a mess ...Your way is so much better.
The same thing’s I learned about filling reels some 55 yrs ago. Some things weren’t made to change there sadly not passed on. Good job 👍 keep teaching old and young
For more than two seasons, the line on my spool with super line on it, was turning on the spool. I screwed with the brake thinking it was causing the problem. JUST discovered the entire spool of wire linewas spinning on the spool itself! Just as it was explained in this fantastic video!!
Fraters, glad you got that problem worked out my friend. When you go fishing you don't want to be dealing with these problems. Thanks for the positive comment. I'm always happy to hear my videos help out a little. Also thanks for watching. KPO
This was exactly what I needed to see as a real beginner. I'd go to cast and BOOM, squirrel's nest. I'd get so angry and storm off the water, throwing my pole in the truck and vowing never to fish again. But the next day I was back at it, same story, different day. Came across this video and had no idea that there was a certain way to put line on the pole, etc. Thanks for this. Gold mine here.
Ethan, awesome to hear this is helping you out. Also you may want to check out some of my other fishing line vids at my channel. I have a fishing line playlist in the library section. Please keep me posted on how the fishing is going. Thanks for the comment, KPO.
Glad you liked it! You know, I still get questions about this from this video, so I did a follow up video. This might explain it even better. ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html Thanks for the comment, KPO.
Mike, you may also be interested in another vid I did, just incase you get some line twists. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/azcAM8cvZIs/видео.html Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
Great video Dave. I have another tip you may enjoy: because the line coming off the spool is going on generally a smaller reel size spool, it helps prevent birds nests and line issues if you take off your reel spool placing it in tap hot water for 5-10 minutes to readapt line memory to the new size . Tight lines
I watched all of the manufacturers videos and your explanation was the first that I understood the line coming off the spoil matching it going on the reel to avoid twists.
I have been fishing for over 55 years now (with all sorts of techniques) But I have NEVER noticed your information. Thanks for the new information for me at least (Most of it)
SNazarene, glad this helped. Also, check out some of the other vids I have on putting line on a spinning reel. Go to my channel and I have a "fishing line" playlist in the library section. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Haven't been fishing for several years, great and clear information to get back in the game! Awesome job with the video. Good sound, (no music! Yay!) Subbing!
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, now i agree with every point you made here so good job 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 shape it to that diameter of the reel spool,, let me know what you think about using the snap swivel like that
Putting a bit of tape on the spool with braided line helped me out a good bit. Also I never thought of the direction of the line coming off the spool, I used to just put the spool on an axle and live with what ever. Thanks again.
The spool on the axle works. I did it that way for many years too. I've just had better results with the method in this video. Thanks for watching, KPO.
The more I watch your videos, the more I learn. Very practical tips and I will be using this technique from now on. Thank you for yet another great video. All the best to you and yours. Merry Christmas!
I'm just joking man. I just got back into fishing this summer. I love it and it's a life saving lifestyle change. I appreciate all u guys out there making these vids for guys like me that are starting all over lol god bless yall!
Thank you. I did another vid on just the line direction part. Some fisherman feel it's explained even better in that vid. Here's a link if your interested LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html Thanks again, KPO.
In this very short 11minutes & change you have answered one of the brains of my fishing with spincast reels😀 I've tried probably a half a dozen different ways to solve this issue. This is the one reason my wife refuses to use one of these reels. Thank You You are A God Send. Oh and yeah your Tube gets a sub from me too.👍
I've been fishing about 65 years and still screw this up at least once a year. With braid I spool on some mono and then tie the braid to the mono with a double uni knot; sometimes tip the braid with fluorocarbon, again with a double uni. The braid won't slip when spooled on top of a few layers of mono. Good video; clear, good pace.
Scott, it makes a big difference doesn't it. I got a few other fishing line vids at my channel you might like too. Check out the "fishing line" playlist in the library section. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
Any other line issues come up check out these other vids I did, LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/azcAM8cvZIs/видео.html Thanks for the support, KPO.
Great detailed tutorial. I wish I had watched this a few decades ago. I use a device I bought on the cheap online to help me with spooling line that makes things way eaier.
Oh my god, you explained this beautifully!!!! I just subbed and clicked the thumbs 👍up button! Can't wait to share this with my hubby. We had to find a hobby where we won't kill each other. And fishing was it! lol (I won't touch a gun or go off-roading...and he won't watercolor-paint or crochet! lol Go figure.
Sylvia, thank you so much. Fishing is a great hobby. My wife and I fish together a lot. I've been thinking for a while I need to make more vids for people just getting started with fishing. So keep an eye out. I guess if you guys don't kill each other I've done my job. LOL Thanks again. KPO
Excellent job of explaining just about EVERYTHING. Keep up the great videos. You keep it simple and on point. Thank you. I think you have solved a lot of common problems facing recreational fishermen.
Ron Davey, thanks for taking the time to put down that comment. I do enjoy the thought of helping other fishermen (and women) enjoy the sport more. I also have a few other fishing line videos that add a little more to the conversation. Thanks again, KPO
Paul, I fished from a kayak for the first time this past summer. Lots of fun. Let me know how the kayak fishing goes this summer. I hope to have a few yak videos this summer. I'm new to it so maybe a few fail videos. KPO
Thank you for explaining it clearly and in a non-condescending way. It's like having my favourite (late) uncle explain it to me. Thank you! I get you are monetizing with the commercials, but if you have too many, people won't watch another, or stick in.
Thank you. I was just about going to where I buy my line and have them put my line.on for me . Last time I did it myself I had a terrible time could mot figure out what I did wrong . But now I know about line direction. No one else has mentioned this before. Thank you very much for this video.
I was getting SO frustrated trying to spool my first reel ever (much less a spinning one) until I found your video. The other 2 I watched weren't as helpful. You also taught me my first "slip knot". Thank you so much! You spared this flustered beginner some tears.
Shay, thanks for the comment. Remember if you do get a few twists let them run out like I described in the video. Also you might be interested in some of the other fishing line vids I have at my channel. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Thank you very much. Here's a couple other fishing line vids I did too - ruclips.net/video/hNxv7dzz4P4/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/0IsIJFyH13A/видео.html. You might like these also. Thanks again, KPO.
Thank you. This is a very practical approach. BTW I had that very same problem with the stranded line spinning on the spool...tapw works just fine. Coke owes you big time gor this video!
Thank you so much for the simplest explanation and proper demonstration. I've shared the link with many of the group members who have just begun their fishing expedition. Great video buddy !!
Sylvester, you are very welcome my friend. Thanks for sharing and supporting the channel. I am going to be doing more videos aimed at people who are just starting out in fishing, so I hope I can keep on informing your members. Thanks again. KPO
MoonGlow, thanks for adding in. It helps the viewers to understand that this really is the way to put mono on a spinning reel. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Thanks, you know the pencil method does work, but I've had the best results with the method in this video. I have a few other fishing line vids at my channel playlist titled "Fishing Line". You might enjoy those too. Thanks so much for watching, KPO.
It's all about the actual direction the line comes off the spool by manually checking it like you demonstrated. DON'T go by the label on the spool like some others tell you to do folks. I have two different spools on my bench right now, LABELS UP, coming off in opposite directions. Find out which way it comes off and DRAW THE ARROW. Great video my friend. Take care and good fishing!
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors I watched that one already also. I was putting backing mono on last night and for some reason had the spool wrong side up. (Even with the arrow drawn, go figure) Actually saw the horrible line twist after about 6-10 turns. Proof positive. Thanks again!
Great video! One of the best explanations on how to spool a spinning reel. One question: If you don't own a boat, what's an alternative way to get rid of line twists?
Nothing wrong with a cold Pepsi either. If interested in more fishing line vids check out my playlist ruclips.net/p/PLksX0m4wrQHz-o6I-_G7sgc49bjxWIjh1 Thanks for the comment, KPO.
Glad it was helpful! I did a follow up video that maybe even clears things up even a little better LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html Thanks for the comment, KPO.
@Sparka What is never taken into consideration is the different diameter of each spool . A smaller reel spool rotates (twist) the line more than the same amount of line comming off of a larger spool.
Great vid! Another tip is to use cheaper backer line on the inside of the reel. You never get to the back half when fishing anyway,and saves some moola! Go Pack!!!
rick berg, thanks for adding in the backer tip. I'm looking to the defensive line to generate a pass rush this year. Rogers back with a run game is going to be nasty for opposing teams. So, yes, I agree...…….Go Pack. Thanks for watching, KPO.
That video is nonsense. Dont use time wasting slipknot and have the spool revoving-not on its side. Ispool dozens of customers every week like this. Be very careful who you listen to when it comes to fishing!
Thaks for the vid.helps I'm going to keep watching it cause. me & my boy's just starting these hobby I use to door ass kid back in EL SALVADOR its lots of fun but we dot use such fancy fishing rods a strong stick and line thanks for info.
Pelamela Ojo, I love hearing that you and your boys are going to be fishing. Any questions you have I will be happy to try and help you out. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Sandi, since you have had trouble with your line in the past let me recommend another vid for you that I did. Link - ruclips.net/video/azcAM8cvZIs/видео.html This video deals with line problems also. I hope these videos help get you on the right track. And yes please let me know how it works out. KPO
Great video thanks. So the first time I spooled my reel, I did it in the wrong direction! How did that happen? How do I make sure I spin t line the right direction around my reel?
One thing that no one (that I know of) mentions, is that twist is almost impossible to avoid unless your spool of line is the same diameter (which is rare to beaver) as the spool on your reel. Most reel spools are 1-1/4”-1-3/4”. Most line spools are 2”-4”. So no matter what you do, a certain amount of twist will be introduced into the line as it goes from large spool to small spool. I wind my reel 20-30 turns (watching for twist building up), then pause and take the spool and flip it end over end 20-30 times (or however many times is necessary to get the twist out).
Great job, this is the way I've done it for years and no problems. If I may ask a dumb question, what do you think of this new braided line? Can it be used on spinning tackle? My ole grand pa told me to leave some old line on the spool and just fill it about 1/2 way with new cause ya never use the whole line anyway that way save some cash. thanks for posting and Tight Lines 👍
Ole Grand Pa, is very wise. I do the same thing and yes I love to use braid on spinning tackle. I just did a video on the different types of line. It's called "Mono, Braid, Fluoro - which line is best for you". It's funny I actually talk in that video about using a mono backer when I spool with braid. Check it out if you get a chance. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Dave i bought a pole and had Cabelas put the line on but after starting to cast it shortly after it was twisting and getting tangled. I think it would be best to take off and buy new and redo the line. Thank you.
Maybe. I have another vid that might help you out a little - ruclips.net/video/Nhg2BiHutYE/видео.html The vid talks about a few different things, but 2 of the topics are line problems. It might help, KPO.
If I understand you correctly, if your spinning reel puts the line on in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the front of the reel (which mine does) then the line spool on the floor should be positioned so that the line is coming of it in the counter-clockwise direction. That's the easiest way for me to think about it.
Nice explanation, but I do have a question, why not simply put the spool the line is on and slide the center hole over the end of the rod this way the spool won't move around as you crank the line off the spool?
Tysm for your tutorial you slowed it down in your explanation which helped a lot your a great teacher girls love to fish too it would be nice to have a tutorial of the spin reel and how the drag works and the switch that flips left or right where the bottom of the reel is, any video recommendations would be appreciated . # Happy Fishing 🎣🎣
Crochet girl, ask and you shall receive. I did a spinning reel basics video, link - ruclips.net/video/TIeber4mTWs/видео.html . Check it out and let me know what you think. Also browse my channel ruclips.net/channel/UCqHTS57vQb0_3UklPB9fwvQ . I'm sure there is some more vids that would interest you. Thanks for the kind comment and thanks for watching, KPO.

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, now i agree with every point you made here so good job 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 shape it to that diameter of the reel spool,, let me know what you think about using the snap swivel like that
I'll have to try it, KPO.
Putting a bit of tape on the spool with braided line helped me out a good bit. Also I never thought of the direction of the line coming off the spool, I used to just put the spool on an axle and live with what ever. Thanks again.
The spool on the axle works. I did it that way for many years too. I've just had better results with the method in this video. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Thank you, I seen your post under another video stating you had a demo video. Thank you for showing directions of the line. Very helpful.
Cherise, hope this helps you out. Thanks for the comment, KPO.
The more I watch your videos, the more I learn. Very practical tips and I will be using this technique from now on. Thank you for yet another great video. All the best to you and yours. Merry Christmas!
You are so welcome. Thanks again for the support, KPO.
I'm just joking man. I just got back into fishing this summer. I love it and it's a life saving lifestyle change. I appreciate all u guys out there making these vids for guys like me that are starting all over lol god bless yall!
I know, I noticed the LOL. But I know I can be a little boring sometimes. Great to hear you're getting back into fishing and thanks for watching, KPO.
Best explanation on this topic that I've found yet. Thanks a lot.
Thank you. I did another vid on just the line direction part. Some fisherman feel it's explained even better in that vid. Here's a link if your interested LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html Thanks again, KPO.
In this very short 11minutes & change you have answered one of the brains of my fishing with spincast reels😀 I've tried probably a half a dozen different ways to solve this issue. This is the one reason my wife refuses to use one of these reels. Thank You You are A God Send.
Oh and yeah your Tube gets a sub from me too.👍
William, I'm so glad to help and thanks for the sub. KPO
I've been fishing about 65 years and still screw this up at least once a year. With braid I spool on some mono and then tie the braid to the mono with a double uni knot; sometimes tip the braid with fluorocarbon, again with a double uni. The braid won't slip when spooled on top of a few layers of mono. Good video; clear, good pace.
Thanks for the comment!
Bout time somebody else figured it out been doing it for 40 years thanks
Scott, it makes a big difference doesn't it. I got a few other fishing line vids at my channel you might like too. Check out the "fishing line" playlist in the library section. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
Fantastic. So practical. You did a great job in such a natural way that I am confident to follow your commentary. Thanks.
Any other line issues come up check out these other vids I did, LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/azcAM8cvZIs/видео.html Thanks for the support, KPO.
Great detailed tutorial. I wish I had watched this a few decades ago. I use a device I bought on the cheap online to help me with spooling line that makes things way eaier.
Allen, thanks for the comment. KPO
Oh my god, you explained this beautifully!!!! I just subbed and clicked the thumbs 👍up button! Can't wait to share this with my hubby. We had to find a hobby where we won't kill each other. And fishing was it! lol (I won't touch a gun or go off-roading...and he won't watercolor-paint or crochet! lol Go figure.
Sylvia, thank you so much. Fishing is a great hobby. My wife and I fish together a lot. I've been thinking for a while I need to make more vids for people just getting started with fishing. So keep an eye out. I guess if you guys don't kill each other I've done my job. LOL Thanks again. KPO
Excellent job of explaining just about EVERYTHING. Keep up the great videos. You keep it simple and on point. Thank you. I think you have solved a lot of common problems facing recreational fishermen.
Ron Davey, thanks for taking the time to put down that comment. I do enjoy the thought of helping other fishermen (and women) enjoy the sport more. I also have a few other fishing line videos that add a little more to the conversation. Thanks again, KPO
Very nice demonstration, and delivery. Its a nice day when one learns something.
Thanks for the comment. I hope it helps, KPO.
Great job. Now your going to make my fishing better. who said you can't teach a old dog new tricks, BS you just did. thank you. thumbs up!!!
Richard, I love to hear that. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Very good demo and informational video. I am sort of a "old" rookie. When I was young, my fishing was all cane poles. Thanks again for the fine video.
Paul, thanks for the comment. I hope this means you're going to be getting out and doing some more fishing soon! Thanks for watching, KPO.
Knetters Practical Outdoors yes, I bought a kayak and am excited to get started. I was only able to fish 3 times in it before winter set in.
Paul, I fished from a kayak for the first time this past summer. Lots of fun. Let me know how the kayak fishing goes this summer. I hope to have a few yak videos this summer. I'm new to it so maybe a few fail videos. KPO
Bravo ... You ARE a great communicator! ...Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for explaining it clearly and in a non-condescending way. It's like having my favourite (late) uncle explain it to me. Thank you!
I get you are monetizing with the commercials, but if you have too many, people won't watch another, or stick in.
Janet, thanks for the feed back. I will keep these thing in mind, KPO.
Great video. Sweet,simple and accurate.
Stephen, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
Thank you. I was just about going to where I buy my line and have them put my line.on for me . Last time I did it myself I had a terrible time could mot figure out what I did wrong . But now I know about line direction. No one else has mentioned this before. Thank you very much for this video.
Wayne, thanks for the comment. I have several other fishing line vids at my channel in the fishing line playlist if you're interested, KPO.
Been fishing all my life and never new the proper way to put on my line. Thanks for the video. Oh ya go Packers! Nice hat.
Let's fish like crazy for the next four months and then get the football season started! Thanks for watching, KPO.
Boo Go Lions!
Both our teams have some work to do! Thanks for watching, KPO.
I was getting SO frustrated trying to spool my first reel ever (much less a spinning one) until I found your video. The other 2 I watched weren't as helpful. You also taught me my first "slip knot". Thank you so much! You spared this flustered beginner some tears.
Shay, thanks for the comment. Remember if you do get a few twists let them run out like I described in the video. Also you might be interested in some of the other fishing line vids I have at my channel. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Excellent demonstration and easy to understand. Subbed because of that. Thanks!
Thank you very much. Here's a couple other fishing line vids I did too - ruclips.net/video/hNxv7dzz4P4/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/0IsIJFyH13A/видео.html. You might like these also. Thanks again, KPO.
Wow - such a good explanation and demonstration ! much better than the other videos I've seen on this subject. thanks
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
Thank you. This is a very practical approach. BTW I had that very same problem with the stranded line spinning on the spool...tapw works just fine. Coke owes you big time gor this video!
Hey, thanks for adding in. Coke still hasn't sent the check, KPO.
Thank you so much for the simplest explanation and proper demonstration. I've shared the link with many of the group members who have just begun their fishing expedition. Great video buddy !!
Sylvester, you are very welcome my friend. Thanks for sharing and supporting the channel. I am going to be doing more videos aimed at people who are just starting out in fishing, so I hope I can keep on informing your members. Thanks again. KPO
Great video, been doing it this way for years and it makes a world of difference!
MoonGlow, thanks for adding in. It helps the viewers to understand that this really is the way to put mono on a spinning reel. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Thank you for taking the extra time to explain this properly, much appreciated!
Joshua, I hope it helps. Thanks for the comment, KPO.
How
Wow great video. Nicely explained. I never realized the little details of doing it right. It makes sense now that i know.
Thanks, you know the pencil method does work, but I've had the best results with the method in this video. I have a few other fishing line vids at my channel playlist titled "Fishing Line". You might enjoy those too. Thanks so much for watching, KPO.
Love your vids. Clear, concise, and very instructional.
Furshed, thanks a lot for that comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
It's all about the actual direction the line comes off the spool by manually checking it like you demonstrated. DON'T go by the label on the spool like some others tell you to do folks. I have two different spools on my bench right now, LABELS UP, coming off in opposite directions. Find out which way it comes off and DRAW THE ARROW. Great video my friend. Take care and good fishing!
Absolutely! I did another video on just that subject, ruclips.net/video/yhcHmWD7DcA/видео.html Thanks for watching, KPO.
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors I watched that one already also. I was putting backing mono on last night and for some reason had the spool wrong side up. (Even with the arrow drawn, go figure) Actually saw the horrible line twist after about 6-10 turns. Proof positive. Thanks again!
Great video! One of the best explanations on how to spool a spinning reel. One question: If you don't own a boat, what's an alternative way to get rid of line twists?
You can just pull a 2 cast length of line out in a grassy area (don't want to damage the line) and reel in pinched between your fingers.
OMG...I had no idea what I was doing when I restrung my reels - thanks!
Glad to help!
That mono equivalent diameter info was great. Did not know that, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Really great job, clear and concise with other good tips as well. Thanks!
Steven Powell, thanks so much for the feedback and thanks for watching, KPO.
Thanks for the informative video..and God bless you and your family!

A great, clear presentation mate.
Thanks for the great content.
Glad you enjoyed it, KPO.
Good video, very well illustrated and easy to understand. Job well done.
Thank you, KPO.
I was drinking Pepsi while watching but I still approve your video.
Thanks for the easy explanation on correct spooling direction.
Nothing wrong with a cold Pepsi either. If interested in more fishing line vids check out my playlist ruclips.net/p/PLksX0m4wrQHz-o6I-_G7sgc49bjxWIjh1 Thanks for the comment, KPO.

@@kevangelos817 Welcome to the channel, KPO.
Not all heroes wear capes my man. Thank you.
welcome
I learned a lot especially that electrical tape on the knot under the reel!
Glad it helped my friend, KPO.
Fifty years fishing ...still learning basics. Great tips!
Glad you enjoyed it, KPO.
Great description ! Makes things very clear .
Mark, also check out this vid ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html , Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment, KPO.
Thanks. Excellent info and very well explained.
Glad it was helpful! I did a follow up video that maybe even clears things up even a little better LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html Thanks for the comment, KPO.
I've been doing that with mono for years, you can do it from shore as well, pop the bail , take a walk, and reel up. Works just as well, if on shore..
Cobia, great idea. Thanks for adding that in and thanks for watching, KPO.
@Sparka What is never taken into consideration is the different diameter of each spool . A smaller reel spool rotates (twist) the line more than the same amount of line comming off of a larger spool.
Great vid! Another tip is to use cheaper backer line on the inside of the reel. You never get to the back half when fishing anyway,and saves some moola! Go Pack!!!
rick berg, thanks for adding in the backer tip. I'm looking to the defensive line to generate a pass rush this year. Rogers back with a run game is going to be nasty for opposing teams. So, yes, I agree...…….Go Pack. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Really enjoy your vids. Very instructional!!!!!
I appreciate that! KPO.
Great explanation; best video I have seen on the topic. Thank you!
Bassmaster3nj, good to hear. Thanks for commenting. KPO
That video is nonsense. Dont use time wasting slipknot and have the spool revoving-not on its side. Ispool dozens of customers every week like this. Be very careful who you listen to when it comes to fishing!
Thaks for the vid.helps I'm going to keep watching it cause. me & my boy's just starting these hobby I use to door ass kid back in EL SALVADOR its lots of fun but we dot use such fancy fishing rods a strong stick and line thanks for info.
Pelamela Ojo, I love hearing that you and your boys are going to be fishing. Any questions you have I will be happy to try and help you out. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Great video, full of good tips an tricks.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
I’m always have trouble with my line . I’m going to try this today. Thanks so much I’ll let you know how it worked out. God Bless
Sandi, since you have had trouble with your line in the past let me recommend another vid for you that I did. Link - ruclips.net/video/azcAM8cvZIs/видео.html This video deals with line problems also. I hope these videos help get you on the right track. And yes please let me know how it works out. KPO
Well... how did it go?
@@jackwhite4214 still tying it on 😂
Thank you!im going to North Carolina in about a month and I need some new line to go fishing with!
You are welcome, KPO.
Great video! Thanks for talking too me and not down to me. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Best instructive video of my life
Diego, wow! Thanks for that comment and thanks for watching, KPO.
Great video thanks. So the first time I spooled my reel, I did it in the wrong direction! How did that happen? How do I make sure I spin t line the right direction around my reel?
Cory I did another vid that might explain it better, LINK - ruclips.net/video/blBIuTAf2gk/видео.html Hope it helps, KPO.
Very good and simple directions , nice!!
Thanks for watching, KPO.
Thank you for this video. I needed to be reminded how to do this the correct way. You have a new sub.
Very cool. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching, KPO.
Fantastic explanation! Great job.
James, thanks a lot. You may like some of my other fishing line/spinning reel vids too. Some of them compliment this video. Thanks again, KPO
One thing that no one (that I know of) mentions, is that twist is almost impossible to avoid unless your spool of line is the same diameter (which is rare to beaver) as the spool on your reel. Most reel spools are 1-1/4”-1-3/4”. Most line spools are 2”-4”. So no matter what you do, a certain amount of twist will be introduced into the line as it goes from large spool to small spool. I wind my reel 20-30 turns (watching for twist building up), then pause and take the spool and flip it end over end 20-30 times (or however many times is necessary to get the twist out).
noted
Great job, this is the way I've done it for years and no problems. If I may ask a dumb question, what do you think of this new braided line? Can it be used on spinning tackle? My ole grand pa told me to leave some old line on the spool and just fill it about 1/2 way with new cause ya never use the whole line anyway that way save some cash. thanks for posting and Tight Lines 👍
Ole Grand Pa, is very wise. I do the same thing and yes I love to use braid on spinning tackle. I just did a video on the different types of line. It's called "Mono, Braid, Fluoro - which line is best for you". It's funny I actually talk in that video about using a mono backer when I spool with braid. Check it out if you get a chance. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Dude. You saved me so much annoyance. Thanks for the tips!
Freakazoid, yes I hope this helps, thanks for watching, KPO.
Dave i bought a pole and had Cabelas put the line on but after starting to cast it shortly after it was twisting and getting tangled. I think it would be best to take off and buy new and redo the line.
Thank you.
Maybe. I have another vid that might help you out a little - ruclips.net/video/Nhg2BiHutYE/видео.html The vid talks about a few different things, but 2 of the topics are line problems. It might help, KPO.
Great vid love the untwist tip thanks 👍👍👍👍
No problem 👍
If I understand you correctly, if your spinning reel puts the line on in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the front of the reel (which mine does) then the line spool on the floor should be positioned so that the line is coming of it in the counter-clockwise direction. That's the easiest way for me to think about it.
thank you
Nice explanation, but I do have a question, why not simply put the spool the line is on and slide the center hole over the end of the rod this way the spool won't move around as you crank the line off the spool?
I think I know what you're saying. Never tried it. KPO
Tysm for your tutorial you slowed it down in your explanation which helped a lot your a great teacher girls love to fish too it would be nice to have a tutorial of the spin reel and how the drag works and the switch that flips left or right where the bottom of the reel is, any video recommendations would be appreciated . # Happy Fishing 🎣🎣
Crochet girl, ask and you shall receive. I did a spinning reel basics video, link - ruclips.net/video/TIeber4mTWs/видео.html . Check it out and let me know what you think.
