How to Put New Line on a Spincast Fishing Reel and Take Line Off

- A spincast or push-button fishing reel like the classic Zebco reels is the type of reel that many people have on their first fishing pole when they learn to start fishing. Putting new line on a spincast reel spool is easy to do. This video covers how to remove line and add line to a spincast rod and reel.

63 years old. Been fishing my whole life and I am still learning. Your videos are amazing. Thank you!
Thanks so much
Your videos are the best, straight to facts without all the fluff and opinions of the other channels! I would love to see a how to: reel maintenance, video.
I appreciate that - I'm not a fan of fluff or product-pushing. I don't like to waste my time or yours as a viewer. Thanks for the video suggestion!
Thank you! Did full service of many reels this year but when I ran across my dads Spincast reel I was unsure about line twist. Your video confirmed what I thought was right so it was nice to know I was on the right track. :)
Excellent - thanks for the comment
Sweet, Thanks Dad
Haha, you're welcome.
This was the best explanation I’ve seen on the entire internet! Thank you sir !
Wonderful - glad to hear that.
Just subscribed. Looks like a great channel.
@@jamesmadison6650 Great. Thank you and welcome.

@@FishingwithNat thank you I have actually fished all my life here in middle Tn but I’ve never used anything but a spinning reel, and I got a little trigger spin for using in little creeks, and I can’t even spool the thing. Ha
I liked your video straight to the point no mambo jumbo 🤔🤔🤣😭
Glad you liked it - thanks
Awesome 👍
Thanks
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Nice video and thanks for sharing this for new fishing folks! Good job! Keep up the good work!
Thanks - I appreciate it.
Excellent video!
Thank you!
Great - thanks for the comment!
Best video I've seen so far
Thanks - I appreciate it.
OH MY GOD, I needed this video months ago and years ago and a year before that. wow thank you! :D this is the perfect knot and video. Let me subscribe bro
my issue with fixing line videos is their fingers be in the way so you don't even get to see the knot lol so frustrating. Been wanting to go back fishing w/o buying new poles for over a year now! Just imposter syndrome when my lines got bad
I'm glad to hear it was helpful - thank you for the comment 🙂
Just wanted to say thank you for this. My brain could not figure out how to tie it the conventional way
Glad you found it helpful - thanks for the feedback
I always wanted to buy spincast reel for someone who is newbie, but i never ever saw it anywhere here in europe haha. Which one would you recommend, that can last and survive salt. Are spincasters slow due to smaller rels and smaller spools ?
They tend to be slower and heavier than a spinning reel or baitcaster. I don't personally use spincasters anymore, but they are nice for beginners to learn on. The one in the video is a KastKing Brutus and it is fairly fast and lightweight for a spincaster.
another great video
Thanks
Aside from the video topic. If you remember how i said about that world pike record here in croatia in my city, NEWSFLASH, also world record seabass not farm from it aswell, in closest sea near brackish water, monster of 14kg. But another "surreal" NEWSFLASH, a guy saw 2 big seabass cruising around the yacht dock, took spin rod and casted, hooked 3kg pike instead haha. I know that american striper seabass lives in brackish water, but our european seabass are real sea creatures, so, that pike went really far into sea. I mean, i would flip out, if i would hook pike instead mackerel haha. Maybe those who infested our river with pikes, used ones from northern baltic sea, which can tolerate brackish water.
Interesting! And wow - 14kg seabass!
Love the simple and effective video format. And believe me, I learned the hard way to knot (haha pun) never use braid on a spincaster reel. 😅 the line would bind on itself more than I was able to make casts.
Yeah. It can also fray as it rubs on the reel cover and the pins on the spool. Thanks for your comments!
Did it work because mine won’t release😭
@@ChrisLikesVlogs no. Braid line and Spincaster reels are incompatible. Braid line has no give and no line memory. Monofilament has both and Spincasters need that. (Believe me, I love the ease of a Spincaster but they will always have their issues and bind up is one of them. All you can do is release the button and pull out line until you reach the bind. Then reel in with some tension on the line so it winds on nice and firm.
@@diaryofagoat-lass1023 yea I found that out the hard way lmao subscribe too😭
I always wondered how you got line on those things haha.
Now you know 🙂
Sweet dude.
Thanks
I always wondered why you sounded so familiar to me. You sound exactly like brickyorchid8
Interesting. I'm not sure who that is though!
@FishingwithNat old league youtuber but he does like reflection vids on games he's played through out the years and delves deeper into what games could or should have been
@@PsychoSynoptic Cool
How do you like that KastKing Brutus?
I prefer spinning tackle or baitcasters, but it casts well and has a pretty quick retrieve for a spincaster and relatively low weight.
Why do you use a spincast reel; do you find a regular spinning(AKA fixed-spool) reel gets too many wind knots?
I personally don't use spincasters any more, but I learned on one many years ago. This video was meant to help people spooling up a spincaster for the first time. I think spincasters can be nice for beginners, but spinning reels and baitcasters are better as an angler gains more experience and is ready for better equipment.
Can u spool those with braid?
It doesn't work very well because of the friction on the outlet of the reel. It will wear down the braid and weaken it. Many spincast reels are flimsy too (not all) and they may not hold up to the strength of the braid.
What if you do go higher
Higher weight lines will have very short casting distance.
Can i use fluorocarbon on zebcos??
Fluorocarbon tends to be stiffer so it will be tougher to cast with a spincast reel. I'd recommend monofilament.
Hey Nat why is it ill advised to put a heavier line on the reel than recommended?
I'm not Nat but I've used a bunch of spin casters.
You can realistically work with line weights from 6- about 15# on most regular size spin casters. They just have very small spools compared to spinning and bait casting reels, so the extra diameter of heavier line really hurts your line capacity.
6-10# line is fine
As a general rule, it relates to the strength of the reel components and their ability to handle the forces that a heavier line could put on them. It's best to have the line be the weakest link in the chain, and not the reel or the rod. With a 10lb-rated spincast reel specifically, I wouldn't go any heavier because spincast reels tend to have a hard time with anything over 10lb mono. There's just too much friction between the reel cover hole and the pickup pins on the spool - anything over 10lb seriously limits your casting distance. And I wouldn''t use braid on a spincaster - even though it's thinner, it gets beat up by the multiple edges that it rubs on during each cast and retrieve.
@@FishingwithNat thanks a ton Nat, I really appreciate you and your channel!
@@jimbob4859 thank man!
@@KR-1zero Thanks - I appreciate it.
I’ve followed 3 videos and I can’t seem to get it right, it spoils fine but when I press the release button it doesn’t want to come out I have to physically pull it out
If it comes out smoothly when you pull it, that sounds like you have it set up fine. Especially if you're using a thicker line or a light lure, the line will not come out on its own. Did you try tying on a lure and casting it?
