How to spool a spinning reel on line. Properly put line on a reel. Spool a reel with line in only a few minutes and fish with it right away. AndersFishing.com
Not necessarily a rookie, got into it about 5 years ago but ive learned everything through trial and error and i dont think ive ever actually known the proper amount of line to put on and recently ive had major problems out of it by the time i go fishing and my reels get all screwed up. Thought it was because i bought cheap like so i went and bout expensive line and had the same thing happen so im not to stubborn to realize im probably doing something wrong
If you look at your spinning reel from behind and reel it actually is spinning counter clockwise. If you don’t want birds nests and twisted line you should be making sure the line is coming off the new spool counterclockwise and not clockwise
Wow, as a new fisher I was really afraid to put line on, but this video helped me tremendously. 8 years later and your video is still helping people like me get into fishing! Thanks a bunch.
I have been fishing for 50 years and the idea of using the sticker to cover the knot and hold the line on the real never occurred to me. This is a great tip. Thank you.
Took me damn near 6 years to come across this and it has made my life with my spinning reels so much better. I have now subscribed. Keep up the great work!
Don't fret.... Sometimes it's better that way. Not always.its more frustrating and sometimes damn near impossible... You'll learn that particular task better than if shown if you figure it out on ur own. Have a good one and Keep that tip up! 🙂
Tape on the knot was a good idea. I stick the label inside the spool with the line test info and date on it. If you write small you can can use the label several times.
Thank you dude I’m 25 now and the last time I went fishing I was a kid and didn’t have to spoil my own rod so this was really helpful. Got my reel in a cup of warm water right now!
My felt washers are oiled . Warm water may wash it away , but they can be dried and oiled again . I spooled 100 yards of 17 lb.mono on a reel today with the label up and the line became badly twisted , so I took it out side and dropped the new line upright in the snow and filled my spool , seems to be fine . I'll be sure to toss the line out far with a lead weight and swivel before I use it to fish.
Thank you! Haven't had time to go fishing in 4yrs. Never had to rewind my reel before and this video explained everything perfectly! Can't wait to get on the water now! :)
Rounds of applause for this. Baitcasting all my life and just bought my first spinning reel. Daunted by the new mechanism and how to spool it, but feel pretty good about stringing it up and hitting the lake now. Many thanks.
Cool to see someone else use the tape trick. I have been doing that for years and use blue painter tape. It also serves as a visual cue - when I see the blue, I know I am getting near the end of the line. Sometimes that it is not so easy to tell, especially if there is a fish on.
Taking something that seems simple, but really is complicated, and turning it into something simple is an amazing skill. I have been fishing for 30 years but NOW I know how to put line on a spinning reel. Amazing. Thanks.
nice tip man. but here in greece we put the line in the first ring so you dont have to hold it with your thumbs. and under the first ring we use a warm towel.you hold the rod with the towel and the line goes through the towel to the reel.the memory breaks and you can put it as much tighter as you want. my tip.hope you understand what i mean. i wish good seas to you all and many fishes in your hooks. thanks again
Thanks man. As an avid fisher man I get so pumped at the start of fishing season I rush through all the steps just to get out there as soon as possible. This video saved me from a lot of issues later on
Super helpful. Just got into fishing been using a piscifun line spooler to attach the line. I've seen dozens of videos on how to spool a line, from younger and much older anglers; and you're the only person who recommends the warm water technique. Makes perfect sense! Thanks buddy
After spending the afternoon watching videos on how to tie the line to the reel, I can tell I found your guidance the easiest to follow. Much appreciate your help 🎣
i have watched soooo many videos on how to do this and NOT 1 other person has ever mentioned the water!!!...AMAZING!!!!!!!.....and it really does work!!! THANK YOU!!!! great video!!!!!!!
Great tip about the warm water dip, I've had the nylon line jump out from the spool due to memory, made for a very unpleasant experience on the rocks. Will try the tip next time 👍.
My dude, I just did this on my President reel and it worked like a charm. The warm water trick and the tape is a life- changer. When I switched to a spinning reel, I couldn't figure out why when I first would take it out on the lake it would jump right off. Thank you! Subbed!!
Great presentation and straight to the point... I was looking to buy a loaded spinning wheel because I was afraid of the hassle around loading and handling the popping off part but you boosted my confidence. Thanks.
That was perfect for explaining it! Sometimes there will be one tiny detail not mentioned that’ll throw me off in demonstrations but that was so easy to understand
Not my first time spooling a reel, just watching videos for no reason. Probably not a kid anymore, but just loved watching this video, what a personality! If he was this cool spooling a reel, he must be cooler when reeling them in! Great video.
Thank you for the line install tips as other commentators stated I just bought a new rod and reel after 20 plus years away from fishing and this really helped me
This video has *SAVED* my ass!!! I had an absolute disaster last week when changing from a pre-spooled reel, to having a new rod and reel that I needed to spool myself. Everytime I was abput to cast, my line was springing off the spool and creating massive knots... i spent 6hrs rinsing and repeating the same issue and didn't know where I was going wrong!! These tips have saved me big time so thank you!
I've started fishing at the age of 7 years old and I am 43 years old. Anyway in my years of fishing and putting line on my reel right. You're the first person who ever put tape on your real. never heard of it before and never seen it until now. Now that's pretty cool I definitely got to try that next time I do trout fishing and put line on my reel. Anyway just want to say thanks for sharing the tips. Also I enjoyed watching this video on CZcams once again thanks.
shawn eldridge ... Wow 😲 You must really be excited that after all these years doing it wrong 😢 to finely know how to do it the correct way 👍🏻🤷🏻♂️😍 Lol 😂 🎣🎣🎣
Great video! I haven’t fished since I was in high school and never used this kind of reel before so this is helpful. Going to take my son fishing for the first time.
Been fishing with my dad for years! Moved across the country and besides the learning curve of fishing in a new location, 2 of my rods ran out of line and I didn't know if I just bought a new reel or what lol Thanks for the video! My old man will be proud haha
8 years ago and still helping folk out thank you much I didn’t know about the spool in water part I’m gonna try it right now and let yall know how it goes wish me luck heading out soon tight lines!
Anders, thanx for the clear, simple way to spool my reel. Have taken a 22 year hiatus from fishing. Bought a small panfish boat and am purchasing all the accessories.
Uncalled for... just a useless sentence meant to be funny, that folks could probably do without reading it. Just say thanks instead maybe... You probably spent quite a bit of time trying to be the class clown and just ended up in the circus, without much joy in life other than trying to get people to give you some attention by using your endless witty abilities...Thanks, I'll always remember your comment about sticking your finger in the warm water...DUH...
Had a new rod and reel sitting idle for years because I wasn’t sure how to spool it properly. This video gave me the confidence to give it a shot. Thanks!
I haven’t fished in over a decade. Your video really helped me out and I can’t wait to show off this new info to my fiancée for when we hopefully go fishing in a couple of days, for the first time together! So easy to understand. I truly appreciate this video! Can’t wait to see what else your channel has! 🫂
Thank you so much! Something snapped the factory line on my Ugly Stik four times today. Switching it out for some 10 pound Spider Wire and I’ve never put new line on a reel before. This made it so much simpler than I thought it would be!
Thanks for the how to video....simple and right on! Honestly, I have been doing this for years and knew everything you said already, but It's nice to refresh after years of people who aren't sure how to do it confusing the facts...lol. Anyway, Thanks so much!
Watched your video and followed your instructions and spoiled my line. I never heard the water hack. But did anyway, I am amazed that that is the best tip I have seen and done. I let the line sit in my garage overnight, went fishing today and wow the line came of easy and no curling. You made a believer out of me!! Thanks for sharing. Will do my other spinners the same way ASAP. 💥💥💥👍👍👍Tight lines bro! 💥💥💥👍👍👍RG
I just bought me a fishing rod, no experience setting them up or anything and my biggest complication was figuring out how to set up the fishing line. Thanks man, this was very helpful!
Ive been fishing 50 years and came here cause i still can't remember how to turn the spool so the line doesn't twist.... you made it easy AND taught me a trick i never thought of(soaking the spool). KUDOS!
Label face up on the ground to match the spool direction, then soak in warm water to reset the line memory. So simple, but so effective and saves so much headache!
After the warm water just remember to make sure spool is dry and still has proper lube! I tend to let it air dry a few then just take some good reel oil add a drop or two in required spots and all is well otherwise this is the best how to video for the good old fashion way to spool up a reel on CZcams
Thank you I haven’t fished in a couple years decide to buy a pole and some 14lb line and this video help me a lot. I plan on going fishing this weekend hopefully I catch something.
First time taking my son fishing without a helper (2nd time ever!) and this video is perfect. Thank you Anders! You've given this cityfolk and his kid a fighting chance tomorrow :-)
Just the video I needed! I had to replace the line on my reel and spool up a new reel I bought my wife and I had not done it in 20 years! Thanks for the dunking in water tip as well!
Your tutorial was the easiest to understand and I found a few helpful hacks along the way. I just returned to fishing after 5 years away during this quarantine for something to do. Somehow I had forgotten nearly all of the basics but your video helped me pick it up again quickly!
Dude great pro tip there at the end. I always leave my spool for at least a few days before casting it so you didn’t have line jumping off the spool. I didnt know about the warm water trick
After viewing someone else's video and having an absolute devastation of a line nightmare wrangle inside the spinning parts of my reel, i will say that last tip was a lifesaver. Thank you
This is the best 'how to respool your reel' video I've seen, and I've watched a lot! Straight forward, great simple tips on how to keep the line tight, as well. Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to record, edit, and share this.
I’ve been fishing on and off the past few years but recently moved to Colorado. Going to the mountains this coming weekend for some lake trout fishing and this definitely helped.
O M G! (yes I really said that). This is THE most informative spooling video/instruction manual I have ever seen!! I can't wait to try the hot/warm water step on my new spool. I wondered why I always had horrible, unmanageable problems with new string. Anders, you are the man! Happy Fourth!
I'm a single mom who has VERY limited fishing experience. My boys love to fish. Moved up to a spinning reel this year. Thanks so much for the video since I had no clue how to put line on it the correct way. Also, the tip to put it in the warm water is very appreciated.....I really do not like untangling line for 2 boys if it can be avoided.
Man, I was ready to s***can my reels after putting some 12 lb test on 'em. I saw your vid and discovered I was adding line with the new line upside down on the ground. That coupled with your method of tying the line onto the reel before you start saved me from buying a new reel. Thanks brother...you need to teach!
My whole life, my dad always took care of putting on the line, hooking the worm and unhooking the fish. Now here I am with my son trying to figure it out! Thank you for helping me do that...
Wow! This is so far the best video I have seen. You have wonderful skills and explain things very simple, especially for beginners like me. Thank you so much! Ms. Lilly👍
Thanks for this video. You were right about the spool memory part. At the end of my second reel, the line started popping off in a fat mess. It was hard to contain and fix the line. I have both reels in hot water right now. Hopefully they'll will be ready for this afternoons ice fishing.
Michael Twigg do you mean that the warm water causes the line to explode, or do you mean that your son's line exploded and that you actually like this tip?
Pretty sure he means it just exploded off the spool. I bought a new rod and reel to keep in my truck yesterday morning. Spooled it up at the lake and first cast it did that. Was a PITA using it.
These comments are dumb. His line exploded before the warm water. That's actually a good idea because like he said it changes the lines memory fitting the spool better and normally resting in its shape
Thank you so much for the easy to understandvideo. I have been trying to understand this for a while and I came from your video and got it within a few minutes. I'm going fishing with my sister today and I wanted to have the fishing rods ready
Thanks man! I've done some fishing this summer and just got my own rod. Unfortunately no one in my family likes fishing but this video was very helpful 👍
DO NOT PUT YOUR SPOOL IN WARM WATER!! I tried this and the warm water removed the grease from the inner spool and now it's constantly clicking and not turning correctly. If you want to heat the line, use a heat gun or hairdryer.
@@Impetuss Yeah I bought White Lithium grease and spraying it all the connection that connects the spool to the reel. It still gives me problems when fishing but it's useable. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have put it in hot water!

Unless your friend catches all the fish and you catch nothing and end up cold hungry and sad
Straight to the point. No rambling at the beginning....perfectly done. Thanks !
Exactly what I was thinking.
yes!
Where my fellow rookies at?

Hahaha Right here 36 year old finally coming into the fishing world.
Just went fishing for the first time ever a few weeks ago
Boutta set up my pole for the first time wish me luck 😂
My late husband always set up our poles. Thank you for this so I can continue to enjoy fishing. 😊
I'm sorry about your husband. hopefully, your family is able to continue enjoying fishing and he's proud!

I still come back to this video occasionally. Been using it as a guide for near on 5 years now. Best video on CZcams on this topic.
Your explanations and demonstrations are a lot better than that Shakespeare Product Manager dude! Thanks!
On a side note, what reel were you using?
+Dustin Pfarr He was using the Pfleuger President reel I believe.
lol I came here after watching his video too.
David Reynolds Me too!
Dustin Pfarr no kidding. I just watched that other guy. His video was pretty much worthless. I like the hot water trick too.
I have been fishing for 50 years and the idea of using the sticker to cover the knot and hold the line on the real never occurred to me. This is a great tip. Thank you.
Took me damn near 6 years to come across this and it has made my life with my spinning reels so much better. I have now subscribed. Keep up the great work!
Lol same
First time my dad wasn't here to help me spool my spinning reel... thank you for the help!
I'm about to do the same thing. First time I haven't had my dad to help me put line on. Feels weird.....
Don't fret.... Sometimes it's better that way. Not always.its more frustrating and sometimes damn near impossible... You'll learn that particular task better than if shown if you figure it out on ur own. Have a good one and Keep that tip up! 🙂
How'd it go?

Man, I was ready to s***can my reels after putting some 12 lb test on 'em. I saw your vid and discovered I was adding line with the new line upside down on the ground. That coupled with your method of tying the line onto the reel before you start saved me from buying a new reel. Thanks brother...you need to teach!
Glad it helped!
can un help me
Great video man , and thank you for the tip on putting the line spool in water. My Line came out flawless !
Just wanted to say thanks! First time fisherman and learning, and this was really informative and helpful! Thank you!
without this video I wouldn't have caught a 9 pounder today. thanks
+John Keller Amazing! Glad it helped! Check out some of the other videos. Sometimes simple things can make a big difference. Tight lines!
Lol
Hilarious
santafeschehl whats funny about that
i couldnt wrap my head around it, so then i tried some fishing line
omfg. you got me.
This deserves way more like😂
I prefer rope
My whole life, my dad always took care of putting on the line, hooking the worm and unhooking the fish. Now here I am with my son trying to figure it out! Thank you for helping me do that...
Wow! This is so far the best video I have seen. You have wonderful skills and explain things very simple, especially for beginners like me. Thank you so much! Ms. Lilly👍
Great video. The trick with the sticker was really helpful!
Video nicely done, helpful info, thank you!
Thanks for this video. You were right about the spool memory part. At the end of my second reel, the line started popping off in a fat mess. It was hard to contain and fix the line. I have both reels in hot water right now. Hopefully they'll will be ready for this afternoons ice fishing.
Super duper insightful and thorough, we need more people like you on youtube!! ❤ - keep up the good work! 👍
line is supposed to come off counter clockwise to go on your reel clockwise.
Oh shit
More important is tension. Not from the hand but from the proper line spooler.
I agree, since I saw two other videos that emphasized the line coming off the spool counterclockwise. The rest of this video was nicely done!
@@MikeEbbers10578 That's what I thought originally, but did what he did in the video. Hope it works.
I later watched another video that said that winding in either direction works. So I likewise hope yours works.
Thank you. I learned something.
Awesome. Glad could help!
Never heard of the warm water trick. That's a game changer and a real problem solver. Thanks.
Sitting right here at the edge of a Tennessee Lake ready to fish having no idea what we're doing, you saved us. You're awesome.
Ima a kid who just learned to fish my older cousin’s fishing rod was out of line and I needed to refill so that’s bro
I just started I have no clue what I’m doing lol
Thanks for the tip on the warm water...son's line exploded on him this morning...
Michael Twigg do you mean that the warm water causes the line to explode, or do you mean that your son's line exploded and that you actually like this tip?
sam van der hoorn It’s been 2 years and I’m thinking the same thing
Pretty sure he means it just exploded off the spool. I bought a new rod and reel to keep in my truck yesterday morning. Spooled it up at the lake and first cast it did that. Was a PITA using it.
did u just tried hes bullshit for real? hes all fk wrong man...
These comments are dumb. His line exploded before the warm water. That's actually a good idea because like he said it changes the lines memory fitting the spool better and normally resting in its shape
Thank you so much for the easy to understandvideo. I have been trying to understand this for a while and I came from your video and got it within a few minutes. I'm going fishing with my sister today and I wanted to have the fishing rods ready
Thanks man! I've done some fishing this summer and just got my own rod. Unfortunately no one in my family likes fishing but this video was very helpful 👍
DO NOT PUT YOUR SPOOL IN WARM WATER!!
I tried this and the warm water removed the grease from the inner spool and now it's constantly clicking and not turning correctly.
If you want to heat the line, use a heat gun or hairdryer.
Huh thats a good tip, you greased it up again then?
@@Impetuss Yeah I bought White Lithium grease and spraying it all the connection that connects the spool to the reel. It still gives me problems when fishing but it's useable. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have put it in hot water!
The water trick didnt work for me. Help?
thanks bro i bought my first reel i’ve fished with my pops since i was kid. finally came around and this helped for a great start
