I looked through hours worth of videos before finding yours. You helped so much, you were so thorough and provided angles that other channels didn't. Thank you

Picked up my first rod and everything else today, I was having trouble spooling the reel with other videos but I chose to use your video instead since I used your videos to pick out what I wanted. Thank you

2:25 thank for including this tip. everyone skips this step for some reason

This was the best explanation for me and you covered a lot of nuances not mentioned in other videos. Thank you!

I had to hunt your video down after I saw it at work. The other videos lacked clarity and yours was great man!

Fantastic video for my first fishing trip with my dad to Tablerock Lake. Thank you so much for the info, clear video and detailed explanation of what you are doing. And doing it at a pace where I don’t have to pause rewind pause rewind etc. Nice job

Man I've been wondering how I never seen your videos before, they're great! Then I see uploaded 7 days ago. Keep up the good content man

Just started fishing yesterday and i bought a spinner for my first rod. Your video helps me feel less over my head 👍

Thanks for your clear explanation and demonstration on how to spin a reel. I'm a newbie to fishing and struggled the first time putting line on my reel. I was able to get my line on this time. Thanks!

Thanks for the help, just bought my first spinning reel rod and this helped me line it

Hey buddy, thank you so much for the tip about putting the real in the water to reshape the line memory. I did not know that and I missed that will reduce my line issues. Much appreciated sir!

First time setting up a rod. Thank you!!!

Sound so much like magic prepp... thanks for the tips, helped a bunch, ready to go now!

Thanks for the info! Appreciate you sharing!

thanks man i watched a few before yours and yours helped me the most

Nat: You are one of the most intelligent and helpful anglers on the internet! A breath of fresh air since most fishermen are dumb as hell, me included. I'm a hunter of 25 years trying for the last 2 years to figure out fresh/salt fishing and your concise videos are excellent. Couple questions -- 1) Do you recommend the hot water trick for spools filled with braided line? (10#-ish braid) 2) I'm convinced that catastrophic line twist on spinning outfits is inevitable unless you use swivels, especially when casting repeatedly in a short time. What brand quick-connect swivel do you recommend for freshwater? The worst I've encountered is Bass Pro Shops chromed double-gated quick connect swivels... the chrome on these flake off instantly and the flakes become sharp, metal splinters in your fingers. 3) Do you keep track of which of your lures get bit and which don't? What do you do with the lures that never get bit? And finally, just a quick suggestion for the hot water trick: put the spool into the hot water upside down and bearings or whatever won't fall out during the soak.

Definitely doing it your way from now on!

Great video, never had anyone showed me properly. Keep it up

Ok....now I need to rewind all sets I have..yes thankfully to your video advice my weekend will be very busy 🙄 I'm sure / as well/ all baitcaster reels were spooled wrong first place place😲

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzfaq.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

I have an electric line spooler where I can mount the spinning reel spool in it and have zero twists on the spool. You don't want it that way because when you make a cast the line will twist 1 time for each loop that comes off the spool leaving you with a couple hundred twists between the spool and your lure. Then when you reel it back onto the spool those twist come back out...mostly. Every time you lift your lure out of the water to cast you loose a couple of those twists and if you get a line break you lose them all. In short order, the first hundred foot that comes off your spool ends up twisted on the spool anyway. I prefer to have my twists on the spool and not between the spool and my next PB. Tight lines!

Fantastic video, very much appreciated

I’ve been fishing for 7 years but still a good video

I love ❤️ this guy he is a life saver

Great video!

Great video! I just went on my first camping fishing trip since I was a kid. I had many issue with the line tangling . This is just what I needed. I didn't see a video about straightening monofilament line on this playlist. Where can I watch that one? Edited to fix spelling.

How is this my exact reel this guy literally has everything that I got

I like to add a strip of electric tape when putting braided line on. Gives the braid something to grab onto.

bruh wtf ur video saved my pole from being snapped in half out of rage and i just got it yesterday every other video had me confused asf😂

Thanks for the help 👍

Hey do you think you can make a video on drag and adjusting drag during fishing ? I’ve found a few from other people but you do a good job at explaining a lot of things. I haven’t fished since I was a kid and want to get back into it I’ve watched a lot of your videos recently.

Looking really good

This was a good video. Maybe I’m stupid, but as a beginner I couldn’t figure how to put the line through the guide holes after doing all of this.

Love ur videos trying to get into fishing but most of videos on KZfaq too complicated even when it’s supposed to be for beginners

Greatest video ever

Thank you so much

Why don’t none of these videos show us beginners how to properly out the kin through the guides

I have a question..We have tons of rods with declared lure weights that the rod can cast..but for example there are rods that are good UP TO 90g/100g/150g for example..how to know what's it's low end? How light can the lure be for the rod to be effective in that case? I would appreciate if someone explained it to me

This was very helpful but I have one question. I’m buying a new rod and reel (upgrading from a cheap spin cast) and the person who’s selling has line on it that’s a pound or two too heavy. Do you think it would be worth it to change it?

Looks like you’re using a Pfluger President XT… it’s what I’m using as well 😅

Huh, I've never heard of soaking the full spool in warm water. I've always dipped my reel in the water before fishing, just to wet it.

Does the water need to be warm/hot?( a temp measurement would help). The reason I ask is because I just watched a video where the presenter soaked his entire spool (not on reel yet) for a week in a bucket of water. What do you think?

Since braided line doesn't have a memory issue should you still soak it in hot water?

Did this but then when i go to feed the line back through the rod guides, the stupid line just starts unraveling off the reel, i mean it was unreal and i couldn't wind it back on before it got all bird nested. I went thru the line holder thing on the bail but it was almost like the line wasn't tight or had no memory to the bail and just started coming off, it was unreal. What do you think i did wrong? It was just 10 lb mono

my spool(?) keeps jumping out of the wheel everytime I try to unwind it, it also gets tangled because of that, I don't know how to fix it

T canal: Lot of good, good points here yØ 🌵🧀☠️

when i bought my reel the line was already on the reel and i mounted the reel on the rod but i still need to put the line trought the rod holes, how do i do that?

Hey, I doubt any1 will see this but where do I find the weight ratings for my rod? I’ve looked for it and only found it on 1/4 of my rods am I looking in the wrong place or…?

So I have a reel with 25lb test and the line will not come out what do I do

If you😢already spooled your line and it went on swirly and fished and ended up with birds nest while casting ,is there a fix ?

Sweeeeeeet 👍🏻

What rod and reel are you using in this video?

My reel sowsnt say braid or mono it just give line weight

Keren❤️❤️🙏🙏

Um, if you don't lube the reel after getting the bearings wet you will shorten its lifespan.

Oh my god why don't other channels mention the switch and the fact that the tension controls shouldn't ring. I was ready to give it up before I watched this.

Just wasted 7 minutes of my life good job and I don’t want to click on another video to see how to tie a knot when it should be in this video

Huh

So agitated at this un tutorial the knot is the most important thing
