Wow, I didn't know about the anti reverse lever. I was wondering why my line kept being pulled freely and had the feeling that something was wrong. Thanks so much from a beginner fisherman!
I was going to say the same thing. All the other videos I watched were made by men who were over-complicating things or more commonly, leaving things out. I think men sometimes just don't understand what it means when their audience has little or no frame of reference, therefore they have to explain even the smallest thing.
Right, got it now. Excellent explanation. I've never fished before, until 8 minutes ago I knew nothing about reels, now I'm ready to go down to the wharf!!!
Excellent job, women are so underrated. They don't carry around egos. Watched other videos by male presenters and this one addressed everything and even included the anti-reverse lever, which the others I looked at didn't.
Thank You! At last I’ve found a video that explains things properly for us complete beginners. Other noob videos assume you already know the jargon and how to use the reel etc. great job!
Your videos are the best I've found, you're a great teacher! Taking a friend fishing tomorrow and it suddenly occurred to me that I haven't touched a fishing pole in years and can't remember what the heck I'm doing. 😆 Thanks for helping me get caught up! 👍 🙂
8yo ago and still a great video! i got myself one of the rear end drag and i only knew they existed on the top so i was worried where it's or how to use it until i saw ur video! again Much thanks to you brother!
Really helpful ... thank you so much !! Just bought one online and didn't know how to operate it as no manual/guide comes with it and was really confused with the drag system and its purpose. Thanks again.
Hi. Thanks a bunch. Finally, after searching to find out how my reel works I found you. No instructions in the box or on the manufacturer's website. How does a company sell a product with no instructions? I had no idea what that switch was for. Today was my first-day fishing here in Corpus Christi Tx. I enjoyed testing my fishing stuff. Did not catch anything but had a great time practicing. Looking forward to your future shared knowledge. Thanks. Mega thumbs up!
I watched a ton of videos trying to understand my spinning reel and this one was dead on with explaining everything in simple and accurate terms! I didn't even know I could move my handle to the other side and I'm glad I saw this because it was on the wrong side for me and I moved it.
Thank you so much for this video. The few guys I’ve asked at fish shops were sooooo condescending whenever I asked them things and for some reason there’s very little about them in the instructions when you buy them. You were thorough and didn’t make me feel dumb.
I'm a gal new to fishing and terrified I'm going to eff it up. My husband has fished but not a spinning reel. This is the best explanation I've found to regarding the features and how they work. Thank you!
A decent spinning reel can be purchased for around $25.00 and can provide years of fun fishing for the average summer angler. People today think that you need to spend +$500.00 on their fishing gear just to enjoy fishing. As a child living on the prairies I remember bending and removing the old aluminum antenna pieces from old houses (used for TV reception) and tying a piece of fishing line and a hook and bobber to the end of the pole. That was pretty much it and that was the fun in fishing ~ improving from whatever we could find in back alleys and the local junkyard. That was pretty much our fishing gear growing up.
None of my spinning reels are over $ 30.00. They all still work and are in good condition. The most expensive one actually cost me closer to $ 40 and has eight bearings. Beautiful reel.
I'm a details Man...so when my daughter asked. I said let's see what youTubes has to offer... Just Fish, you nailed it. My 10y/o daughter got her reel out of her tackle box and followed along. The other notice is .... this vid is kid friendly. I don't understand the over the top langue is necessary by some... Thank you
I love just getting out there. It took me two days just to get my line on. Turns out my spool needs to be turned FACE DOWN for it to load correctly. Baby steps! Haha
Sort of a weird comment but I saw that you’ve still kept up with replying to your comments so I figured I’d give it a shot! What’s that hoodie brand you’re wearing? It looks extremely cool! I also appreciate how informative and user friendly the video was laid out! Thanks.
Cheers, I was basically trying to figure out the anti-reverse wasn't sure what it was till you told us, my real however doesn't swap to right handed sadly, it's an old Mitchell real made in France! Very smooth well built and nice as can be however it just doesn't swap left to right :( .. it's actually flat faced where your nut is on yours mines a flat metal solid piece
This video helped me tremendously! I'm a beginner fisher and the first time I went out I was wondering why my handle was so loose and why my line would easily come loose in my reel and start looping. Now I know that my handle can be tightened (I thought it was just loose) and that there is an anti-reverse option which I assume will prevent the line from coming loose all the time. Can someone confirm if I am right to assume that? Thanks!
Glad I could help. Yes the screw on opposite side of the reel will tighten your reel handle. The anti-revese allows the handle to be cranked either clockwise or counterclockwise it doesn't tighten anything. The drag button on the front of the reel will tighten the line for retrieving and being pulled off under pressure. When you open the wire bale to cast make sure your fishing line is hooked on your index finger otherwise it will just loop off the reel. Freefall to the ground. There is no tightening that. 😁
@@fishingtalesandotherlies There is NO reason NOT to like such a beautiful yet so simple details. Everyone who has seen this informative clip will know the basics of fishing reel. Thanks again... Have a good day ahead.
Love your channel, amazing content, very educational!! Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate that you’re sharing your knowledge!! Exactly what I’ve been searching for, subscribed 👍 and hope you don’t mind I’m sharing your channel on Pinterest :) hopefully it’ll help others as well and your channel!
I just bought my rod and i noticed the handle was not screwed on tight so I tightened it but now it wont turn unless in anti reverse is on. is it broken?
@@fishingtalesandotherlies yes I tried to tighten the handle but I think it is broke Im just going to return it. Since my kids and I are new to fishing would u recommend a rod that is open or should I go with the push button kind? because my son has a cheap doc demon and it works perfectly
*I'm a total noob and where I am utterly flummoxed (and now exasperated) is that when I open bail to cast, a ton of line just unspools into a heap so closing bail to reel in lure causes the line to wrap around anything and everything except the actual spool. I am 100% certain I have tied line to spool and loaded spool correctly. This isn't a line twist issue, it just simply comes totally undone (unwrapped) from spool when I open the bail into a jumbled heap and impossible to reel back in. Total mess and I just don't get it. Frustrated beyond belief.*
My friend, when you open the bail hook your index finger under the line so that is doesn't unspool and drop off the reel. As you cast you release your index finger to let the line fly on the forward motion of the fishing rod.
Are you asking about the Bail wire?? If the bail is closed and your line still comes off the reel, then you do not have the line in the line guide or knuckle which on the side of the bail wire. It's a grove like hinge on the side.
Good video thanks! Got my first rod today but it has a button on the top of the spool where the drag adjuster sometimes is. My drag adjuster is on the bottom but I have a button on the top? Any ideas?
No, you don't have to. But I keep mine on so that if there is a sudden strike after the lure hits the water your line will not get ripped off the spool. And remember the handle will spin around when the anti reverse is off.
I have a video that explains the drag system. In short to help you out. To tighten turn the drag knob to the right (clock wise). To listen, turn left (counter clockwise).
This was great ! Start to the point and not going off subject very informative Thank You!
..and no annoying 'music' at the beginning..
Video is so ancient yet so helpful than the newer ones
Lol, and I am still around to say thanks 😊
Wow, I didn't know about the anti reverse lever. I was wondering why my line kept being pulled freely and had the feeling that something was wrong. Thanks so much from a beginner fisherman!
Glad I could be of help.
Best explanation video about a spinning reel. Some many guys out complicate such a simple thing but this lady was perfect. Thank you!

Thank you very much. Just getting into fishing and this was a great intro into the basics and terminology.
It took a woman to answer my question about the screw knob! Thank you, I finally understand my spinning reel. Appreciate the informative video!
Thank you for this. I recently purchased a rod and reel and it came with no Instructions. Now I just need to spool it!
Very little in fishing does. There are plenty of good vids to show you how to spool your fishing reel. Thanks for dropping by.
Exactly what I was looking for and more! However, 100k views in and no likes? This clearly deserves more, but know you got one from me!
Thank you, the wonderful world of CZcams. :)

Glad I could help 😌
excellent explanation. thankyou so much !
Very informative, thank you.
Very welcome
Thank you very much for your video!
Just starting finishing. Man is it tougher than I thought.
There are a lot of good beginner videos on CZcams. Just take the basics in and start from there. Remember, fishing is for fun and relaxation.
I love just getting out there. It took me two days just to get my line on. Turns out my spool needs to be turned FACE DOWN for it to load correctly. Baby steps! Haha
I had to sift through a dozen videos before this one, thanks.

LoL! I got that years ago from The Running Store to support Veterans. The theme was called "Solder On."
thanks for the info,first time using a fishing rod!!!!
Wow this dude knows his fishing reels!! Very useful tip. Anyone else notice every tenth word sounded like his voice was a woman? Anyways good tips
That's because I am a woman. My name is Sharon. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you enjoyed the video 😉
She does mention her name in the beginning of the video.
Thank you so much! I thought I bought a left handed rod and was just dealing with it haha!
Thanks!
Since you have a rear drag spinning reel, you could have also shown a spool release button!? Just in order to cover all possible buttons🤓

Your index finger. Check out my video on the subject.czcams.com/video/FoZN7pUDMsc/video.html

fixing my bail with a metal hanger mine broke son said to throw out no way great video
my dad's spinning reel gotall screwed up so this video is really helpful
Very informative, thank you.
You could have given little more details on the drag feature.
Actually, I am contemplating a separate video on that very subject. Thanks for dropping by.
Fish hunting is my passion.....😍💖💕😘
thank you maam..
You're welcome
I just bought my rod and i noticed the handle was not screwed on tight so I tightened it but now it wont turn unless in anti reverse is on. is it broken?
Weird!! Have you tried to listen it. If it doesn't work it may be broken.
@@fishingtalesandotherlies yes I tried to tighten the handle but I think it is broke Im just going to return it.
Since my kids and I are new to fishing would u recommend a rod that is open or should I go with the push button kind? because my son has a cheap doc demon and it works perfectly
What ever you feel comfortable with. The spinning reel casts farther, so that might be something you will want to consider. Good Luck!!
Do u have a video on how put string on it
No I don't. But I can certainly do one.😁☺️
@@fishingtalesandotherlies thank you thats my problem. Pls this type of reel just like this one you used in this video
@@fishingtalesandotherlies what do u call this type of reel
Spinning reel. Because the router spins around the spool.
*I'm a total noob and where I am utterly flummoxed (and now exasperated) is that when I open bail to cast, a ton of line just unspools into a heap so closing bail to reel in lure causes the line to wrap around anything and everything except the actual spool.

My friend, when you open the bail hook your index finger under the line so that is doesn't unspool and drop off the reel. As you cast you release your index finger to let the line fly on the forward motion of the fishing rod.
Cool info. thank you on your 101.
You are welcome ☺️
Best video.
Thank you ☺️
Some people say that closing the bail by turning the handle may damage the bail spring. Is this true?
It is entirely possible on some of the cheaper reels. I find that the auto closer can be choppy and therefore prefer to close it manually.
When the wire that locks the real down still lets line out is that supposed too?
Are you asking about the Bail wire?? If the bail is closed and your line still comes off the reel, then you do not have the line in the line guide or knuckle which on the side of the bail wire. It's a grove like hinge on the side.

Good video thanks! Got my first rod today but it has a button on the top of the spool where the drag adjuster sometimes is. My drag adjuster is on the bottom but I have a button on the top? Any ideas?
No I don't, unless you are talking about a spin casting reel.
Very useful
Awesome thanks 🎣😎
You bet
Thanks! Would be perfect video if shown how line is fed on and off reel.
Gravity.
Should you turn off the anti reverse when casting?
No, you don't have to. But I keep mine on so that if there is a sudden strike after the lure hits the water your line will not get ripped off the spool. And remember the handle will spin around when the anti reverse is off.
Thank you im left handed i dint know that #this phone is my moms
Talk about the Bail being stuck .
Bails can jam for many reasons. The biggest one is not cleaning the reel properly.
Where can I get a 750 pen reel?
I wished you expalained which direction is loosening and tigthening of the drag system :'(
I have a video that explains the drag system. In short to help you out. To tighten turn the drag knob to the right (clock wise). To listen, turn left (counter clockwise).
