c_lou Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 What kind of knot should I use if I want to put line on my reel. I just bought a new baitcast reel and line. I've never put the line on myself, just paid somebody to do it, and I want to learn. Thanks Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: Need Some Help I just use any kinda knot that will get tight, I have never had good luck tying a knot on the reel. Thing about that is by the time you get a couple of hundred yards on there, chances of getting down to the last wrap are slim to none, at least for me.

billkay Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Re: Need Some Help I've always used a clinch knot but the arbor looks much easier. I'll have to try it next time I respool. Thanks Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Re: Need Some Help I just use a traditional slip knot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Re: Need Some Help I also just use a slip knot. It does not have to be very strong, just enough to get the line started on the spool. I always figured that if a fish runs me down to the knot he can have it all. LOL Good luck. Elwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Re: Need Some Help Just make sure you spool it the right way. If you put it on opposite as it is on the spool, you'll get twists like you wouldn't believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
