The “Bass Fishing for Beginners” series continues with a look at: How to Spool a Baitcasting Reel. I’ll discuss some of the DO’S and DON’TS that I’ve learned along the way for: tying a knot to the spool, understanding how much line to add, and how to tie a connection knot with backing.
I know there are many different ways to do this. I appreciate all of the positive feedback and I encourage you to leave any tips that you may have below for fellow anglers spooling up their first baitcasting reel. Thanks for watching!

Bro you edit part when you did step 2.
Why not tie the first overhand knot and then cut the excess right then and there when the line is easy to get to?
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
Finger nail clippers?
I have never used backing I just spool straight monofilament
Knot directly to the holes on the spool with braid ended up with snapped line for me. Luckily it wasn’t during fishing but when I was about to unspool it.
everything is beautiful but one minus the spool of monofilament we put into the water, the water causes that the monofilament / braid does not spin itself
You say to put the knot in the middle of the spool but wouldn't it depend upon where the line guide was?
Next time don skip the video
Why did you edit out the part where you tie the knot to the spool? The tutorial was actually helpful until you did that.
Thanks!
My friend just bought a baitcaster, this will be the video I'll be sending him to put the line on his reel with the caveat that he should tie directly to the spool holes for the all braided line setup. I've tied 30 to 50lb braid directly to the spool holes and I've never had issues with slippage, only a couple of times when I had a bigger fish did I have the braid sort of dig in to itself…its got sort of a spongy action when you wrap all braid…so you may have to pull the line back out of itself a little and reel it back to reseat it properly again, but not all that big of deal. Rather have all braid in case something happens or that first portion of the line reached its usable limit, less wrapping line on the reel means more fishing….especially if I have to break from fishing to put more braid on backing….well that a major problem cause I'm not fishing. Great video!
Jeepers this is a great Videos Tutorial..!! Thank you for taking the Time and I’ve watched several times.
Thank you for showing this, j just reeled up my autism awareness baitcaster reel and you made it easy to do.
I put the line through the holes and tape it down it works 🤷♂️
Great close up tutorial!👍
You skipped a part of the video where you made the knot on the reel and I can’t figure it out for the life of me
What clippers are you using?! Those look awesome!!!
thanks Debo
Is that double uni knot good for adding a leader line to braid?
I personally tie my braid straight to the reel using the holes, I have a black max and I’ve had 0 problems with it while doing this, always works fine 👌
I love your video I learned a lot
I don’t tie my line directly to my spool because the inside of those holes on the spool are sharp because they are unable to deburr them. This has cut my line in the past. I might just have bad luck
I’m 16 new to bass fishing and Thank you so much this is the first video that I have watched that actually helps me thank you
Thank you sir
Is that your custom reel , because it has an almost Identical everything to the older bass pro shops tourney special, ya know the red one. Which was my first baitcaster in fact.
Hi im new to this baitcasting in your opinion what test braid line starts to mess with the castability i cant use more than a 10 pound line so far every thing else is a mess to me i would love to use up to 20 lbs test braid on a med heavy fast action rod the bait caster is some cheap nockoff i think from china its a lizard lk201 i think any tips wouls be great ty in advance
Julio
I do it every time I spool a rell
Why do you use a main line and secondary line why not just one?
People on here 72 learning I just turned 72 after 40 plus years passed bye watching this 3rd grade fishing class
what if you cant figure out how much line or what pound test can go on it
because the lables have kinda worn off
This tutorial is great but what ruin it was the cut at 4:46
i take advantage of those holes, use uni knot and a half hitch knot to lock in place then shift the knot so its flushed with the hole. no problem with it.
Why do you put two different lines?
Please explain the inner workings of the casting reel especially the adjustment behind the handle?
Can you use a unit or to tie a fly line to a leader line on a fly rod?
That moment when I watch this after spooling straight braid 😭
I really like those cutters
How can i control where the uni knot ends up on the spool?
Got my first bait-caster & this is an amazing tutorial! Thanks for speaking so clearly!!! Truly appreciate your cadence and style!
Piscifun baitcast reel has a tiny recessed to tie line, I haven’t found a video to show how to tie line to the tiny knob on reel , any suggestions.
