Do you need to soak fishing line before spooling?
1 Begin by soaking the bulk spool in a bucket of warm (not hot) water. This will make the line suppler and remove some of the storage memory. It will also mean you can add some tension to the line with your finger and thumb when spooling-up without burning your skin via the friction heat.
Braid does not need soaking like you do with mono prior to spooling up. Thread your braid through the eye on the but section of the rod. Double check that your spool is as far forward as possible. Tie a slip loop knot in your braid.

How much line should you spool?
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 know when a reel is full?
To begin with it’s important to fill your reels full. Casting reels should be between an eighth of an inch from the top and all the way to the top. If you get too much line on them, you’ll get a weird sound when you cast. Spinning reels should be all the way full, right to the top.
How tight should I spool my reel?
Spinning Reel (Monofilament)
Mono line doesn’t require a lot of tension when spooling and will normally lay fairly evenly. I like to achieve the tension by putting the spool in an empty box or bucket and holding the line lightly between my fingers as it is wound on.
How do you spool evenly?
Why is my reel spooling uneven?
If your spool is sitting too high, the braided line will start to unevenly bunch up towards the bottom of the spool which will cause knots due to the line overlapping.
All you have to do is think clockwise and counterclockwise. If you hold the rod in your hand and look down at the reel, you’ll notice that when you turn the handle the spool rotates clockwise. Set the filler spool so the line comes off counterclockwise as you look at it.
Which direction should line come off spool for spinning reel?
Monofilament/Fluorocarbon
Cut off your tag end with a pair of scissors. Step 2: With the spool of line on the floor, be sure that the line is coming off of the spool counterclockwise (usually brand facing up). Since spinning reels turn clockwise, this will help you to avoid a line twist.
Should I tie my lure directly to my line?
Lures will almost always run better and look more realistic when they are tied directly to the line or leader rather than having some clunky old swivel stuck to its nose.

How many yards of line should I put on my fishing reel?
On a top-shelf 1000 size spinning reel such as the Daiwa Exist, 125 yards of 8-pound mono would be enough. Above this reel size, using 125 yards only will start affecting casting performance unless you increase line diameter significantly.
