Good video, Chris...EXCEPT...when spooling the line off of the new spool, the line should be coming off the line spool OVER, NOT UNDER the the spool. Pulling it from under the spool is the complete opposite of the line memory on the spool and will cause major line issues on the water. When the line is coming off the spool over the top it is going onto the reel exactly as it comes off of the spool.

This was super helpful- Thank you for sharing! We just lost all of our line from a monster fish about 50 miles offshore from Mazatlan, Mexico. Gotta get our reel respooled and ready to for the next one! Thank you again!

Thanks, i just bought a spool for rookies that looks like yours and i had no idea on how to add the line, your video gives me a great example on how to do it, thanks a lot 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzfaq.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-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.

Chris, thank you for the very informative video. I never thought about using tape as you did. I will be doing the same this spring when I put a new line on my reel. Best regards, Bob

Nice video been thinking of buy this type of reel for offshore!!! The box idea is quite brilliant!

Thanks for the video.... very helpful

I needed that. Thanks brother

Much thanks tou you, the instructions worked perfectly. ❤

Cool tutorial!

Good Job 👍

Thank you Chris. Your video is great and I will apply your technique to my new conventional reel once down in Sarasota. Major Tony

Love the shirt brotha 😆

Great video broski

Good video

thank you for sharing buddy

Mahalo 👌🏼 great video

Lesson learned.spool you a little backing first and tie to it in case you get spooled because that way it won't be tied directly to the reel and possibly either damage your reel or pull it off the rod because I've seen it done many times when people hook on big Tarpon,Cobia and Kings.

Terima kasih, dengan sedikit video saudara itu, sangat membantu dan menambah wawasan saya sebagai pemancing pemula #Reel & jorannya Good. I like it

I would suggest using Golf tape instead of electrical tape. Because Golf tape won't leave the spool sticky if you decide to put on new line later. Just what I use Happy Fishing guys and gals!!!!

You had good music. I appreciate it. Some guys have to have rap or heavy metal.

I don't tie onto the reel. I use double sided tape. The line GLUES onto it, then wraps neatly over for a few turns. If a fish has run all the way to the end of your line, a knot ain't going to stop it.

Took me about 3 fucking hours to finally get my fishing rod spooled and ready to rock thanks to your fucking video man 2 hours of KZfaq videos didn’t do shit until I ran into yours I was finally able to get it Jesus Christ thanks man I was literally loosing my shit over a ducking line and reel I was about to just get a water bottle and a line and go fishing🤣

Put this one 2 rods this past year and had no problems/breaks

Chris much difference when doing braid? on same type reel?

I heard people say that you can have a bad time if you don't wet your spool. What does that mean, and are there any circumstances that you wouldn't have to do that for?

Little difficult to see how you tied the clinch knot. Easier to demonstrate if you bring it back through the reel eye and then tied it. Thanks for video.

Hi Chris! A video worth sharing! Gomexus has recently upgraded the new handle for PENN conventional and wonders if you would like to help us test it? If you are interested, looking forward to your reply!😘
