To put new line on your fishing pole, follow these steps. First, thread the fishing line through the rod’s eyelet. Use a double uni knot to attach the line to the reel spool. Hold the line spool flat while winding the line onto the reel. Ensure the line feeds smoothly to prevent tangles.
Next, remove the old line from your reel. Open the reel’s bail and reel in the remaining line. Cut it at the spool to fully detach it. Clean the spool to ensure proper line seating.
Now, attach the new line. Tie the end of the line to the spool using an arbor knot. This knot ensures a strong connection between the line and the reel. Slowly wind the new line onto the spool, making sure it lays flat and evenly. Tension helps prevent tangling, so consider using a buddy to hold the line while you reel.
Finally, make sure to leave a little space on the spool for movement. With the new line in place, you are ready to cast.
