  • Thanks well explained, The Bloke in the tackle shop told me to put the spool in a welly boot and wind it up half way, and than turn the spool upside down, put it back in the welly boot and wind the rest on to the spool. I am glad i did not listen to him.

  • @HakaWog haha! this is actually better because usually those rod's have been sitting for a while and the line either get's dry rot or it get's like a permanent memory,loop's in it and unless your casting heavy weight about 100 feet or more away from you all the time your gonna end up with tangles. haha coincidentally because of that problem I said last year that I wont buy those, or I'll take the line off and save it for icefishing(handline's or tipups) and use new line.

  • @NYmosVids not mocking mackles @ all he's right but he forgot to say(if it wasnt obvious) sorry..just saw this and trying to help... pull that mess off of the threaded pin thing that you pulled the spool off of, then pull the tangled line of and it should easily untanle, pull your line tight,then put you spool back on and adjust your drag ..it's a pain but it work's..also make sure your line is tight around your spool and you leave room on your spool so the line doesn't go over it.

  • @gregoir - I'm trying to catch stripers @ Lake Norman outside Charlotte, NC.

  • @Unplugged704 sorry so late but that should mean 17 lb. test line/300 yard's the lighter the line you choose,,the more line,you can use. also 17 lb mono is pretty heavy! where are you fishin" and what for? lol you probably know all this by now..-

  • @Unplugged704 Keep the spool at least 2/3 full of line to cast without jerks. also keep the line about 1/8th inch under the lip to avoid the line flowing over the edge when opening the bail.

  • Great Vid!!!!

  • so fuccin simple

  • Thanks so much!! I always thought it was issues with the reel or even the quality of the line itself. I have to re-spool 2 of my reels, and I haven't done so in years. Obviously last time I re-spooled them, I did them incorrectly, as I was always getting bird nests and tangles, thereby frustrating me and ruining my day fishing.
