How do you set up a fishing line for beginners?
by
Start with an arm’s length of 30- to 50-pound monofilament fishing line as a leader. Tie four 2- to 3-inch dropper loop knots 3 to 4 inches apart. Attach a sinker to the bottom loop using one of your fishing knots. Tie a hook to each of the two middle loops.
Keep an eye on the reel spool to make sure that the line is filling the spool evenly and fill the spool within 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch from the edge. Too much or too little line will affect the reel’s performance.
How do you tie fishing line to a reel? It’s a simple process. Put your reel on it, thread your line through the guide closest to the reel, open the bail, and then attach it with a few loops around the spool, finished off with a simple overhand knot.
