How To Spool Line On The Most Popular Spinning Combo

http://spooling%20line%20on%20combo

This lesson shows exactly how to spool up the Ultimate Inshore Spinning Combo that we just started offering for inshore fishermen to get an excellent combo at a great price.

Many fishermen rely on tackle shops to load line onto their reels, and I highly recommend doing it all yourself because you’ll save money and you’ll be able to it better than them if you simply follow the directions shown in the video below.

Not only will you have spool the lines so they have less twists than a store-spooled reel, you’ll see an easy trick to make sure you put just enough backing on the spool so that you can fit exactly 150 yards of braid on top of it.

Nobody cares as much about our fishing equipment as much as we do, so it’s on us to make sure we select the right equipment and that we put everything together the right way.

Once I started using these items and assembling them together as shown in the video above, my fishing has significantly improved in terms of casting distance, fish catching, and getting less wind knots.

Hello Luke, how often will you replace the line on the reels, also I got some very old lines on my tackle box, what is the shell life of the braid and mono and last but not least my wife got me one of those things that looks like a rod to spool a line on the reels are this any good. that’s Pinterest for you LOL, looking forward to your answer. God Bless.

Luke, I followed your instructions but had a huge problem with the mono developing twist in it so when I cut it off where I was going to tie on the braid, it unwound off the reel in a mess. Stroking out the twist and having my wife keep tension on the mono allowed me to be able to tie on the braid while keeping the mono from coming off the reel. How in the heck were you able to do this so seemingly simply in the video??

Luke, 2 questions. does it matter what mono test I use for backing. I don’t have any now, so I’ll just get what’s recommended. Also, why not the FG knot on the backing to braid? Why the Dbl Uni? I think you have convinced me to do them myself.

I vote for the first option,that way any serious fisherman should learn to do it for the satisfaction,but you are still coming out great

Great tutorial, I was not aware of using a backing when spooling braid. I picked up a few other points as well. Thanks!

I actually use a metallic sharpie to make a mark on the spool 1/4″ from the edge, so I don’t have to take measurements.

What is the primary purpose of the mono-backing. Is it just to save money so you don’t put an unnecessary amount of braid on the reel or is there another benefit?

Guess I should have scrolled down further in the comments before commenting. I found the other post and the link to the video where you explained it was for cost savings.

Do you always use a leader at end of braid and what is your leader normally

Consider me an old goat/old school fishing type, so question??
What is the point of having the backing line? Is it because of the use of braid and not putting it directly on the reel?
Thanks in advance and for all you guys do.
