How to Spool a Baitcaster Reel

December 14th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Low Profile Baitcasting Reels

Best way to spool a baitcaster reel

If you are in the market for or have recently received your new baitcaster reel you will no doubt be over the moon with it.

Fishing reels and especially baitcasters have gained much popularity recently despite being thought of more difficult to fish with, mainly due to how fast the line is released compared to other makes of reel, such as spincasters.

Knowing how to spool your line onto a baitcaster reel though is often an altogether new challenge for you.

Putting the line onto a baitcaster reel is certainly a requirement as you may need to do this as you first purchase your fishing reel and of course you are almost certain to be in a situation where you need to do this on a fishing outing. But dont be worried, it isn’t too difficult if you read these straight forward steps below.
To start with, you have to get some suitable line to spool. The type is up to you and probably most important is what you are fishing for although in a lot of cases 10lb test line will be best. With that said, if you are trying to catch bigger fish then be sure to use a stronger line or you may end up with no fish and no line left either!

At first it might be a bit hard to do when on a fishing trip, a neat trick to make it easier is to put the line first in hot water for about 30 minutes and it will help to stop the line getting knotted so much as the curl will be a lot less stiff. This is worth trying if you experience any problems doing it, but be sure to let it dry first before putting it on your fishing reel.

Feed the free end of the fishing line through the rod eyes that you can see on the rod – these appear to be small metal circles. Start at the tip where the circle should be smaller than the others. You should see they get larger at the other end. Continue threading through the guides until you reach the baitcaster reel end of the rod.

When complete, wrap the line around the spool a single time and tie a knot in it. This is used to start rewinding the line onto the baitcaster reel spool. Put the new fishing line on the floor as you wont need need it for the next part. While you are standing place the tip of the rod so it is close the the new line which is on the floor – This means the rod is now facing the ground. Try to close the distance between the new line and rod tip as much as possible.

Turn the fishing reel handle so it loads the new line onto the fishing reel spool and keep going until it is full. As you are done, simply cut the line at the rod tip and you’ve now spooled a baitcaster reel.

Ways to clean baitcasting reels

Put a Shine your Baitcasting Reels

It can seem like a lot of effort cleaning baitcasting reels after each fishing trip. However, many faults that occur can often be blamed on the fact that it has corroded as it was not maintained correctly. It may not even be a fault and instead merely underperforms compared to its brand new state. This is an anglers most frustrating problem. Even more so if it is one of their favourite baitcasting reels that has been affected.

Preparing your fishing trip however should incorporate a full cleanse of your tackle and equipment, and the most important is probably your fishing reel. A good reel should last you for a long time due to the quality construction, however, like any mechanical device it also needs to be looked after.

3 quick tips,will help to keep your baitcasting reels in good condition.

The first thing you need to do is to take the reel off the rod, and then remove the handle – In most cases, just unwind the handle as they have a reverse locking system. When you have done that, take a damp cloth and wipe over the bits of the reel that you can see. When you do so, be sure that you use clean water and especially not salt water as this will corrode inside.

Depending on the baitcasting reels you have you will then need to remove the sideplate. Some of them unclip, or unwind while others are screwed in place – you should consult the manual if you are unsure. Then its just a case of removing any dirt with a swab and picking out any other debris that may have found its way inside. Apply some bearing grease, or WD40 to the bearings and gears while you are inside as well to keep them fresh as this is one of the main causes of reel failure. When you have done this part, put the sideplate back on.

Before reattaching the handle, give it a good wash too. Its likely to be covered in dirt, bait and a whole lot more!. In most cases, a rinse with water will be fine but if it is very mucky then wash it when you get in with soapy water.

As demonstrated in this article, it really doesnt take much to keep your reel clean after you have used it and it is going to last so much longer. The next time a reel plays up in the middle of your retrieve then perhaps its time to start looking at your maintenance routine. Fishing reels, especially some baitcasting reels, are not cheap, so look after them.
