How To Spool Braid On A Baitcaster | Bass Fishing

How do you keep that pressure on your line when you're fishing? Nobody addresses this. I cast forty yards of line and just reel it in with no pressure when fishing.

It just literally took me over 20 minutes just to get the line through 🤦🏿‍♂️
Now hopefully I can tie a knot that will stay 😂

Thanks. I just bought my first baitcaster and wanted to make sure I did it right.
Your video was the best how too 👍

Wouldn’t all that packing go away after a few casts

Pro Tip: take out the spool and wrap it with electrical tape and then just tie on the braid like monofilament. And the electrical tape will give the braid something to grip onto. This way you don't have to use a backing and it's a lot more effective than taping it to the spool. Because sometimes if you tape it to the spool the tape will come undone under the braid and you'll have a mess on your hands.

Thank you sir!

If you don't have that set up use my old school method of water in a bucket, throw the line spool in and add tension with a wet towel. Hope this helps 👍👍

No backing?

Thanks helped alot

is 15 Lb. braid heavy enough for bass?

Just did the two feet technique, my wife and daughter were highly amused!

Awesome video thanks a lot.

Thank you sm 🙏

👍

After i finished spooling i had a bunch of like fluff shavings from spooling tje braid thru the cloth. Is that normal or will it affect it?

Glad I watched this AFTER I backlashed and had to remove a whole spool of line once it dug into its self lol.

What type of braid is it

Fantastic video!!!

A good ideas to put line on your reel is a bolt (1/4" or 5/16") with a fairly stiff spring and wingnut. Put your spool of line on the bolt (you can use various spacers for different size spools) and tighten up the wingnut to put tension on the spring. That should give you enough tension on the line when you are filling your reel. Works for me.

THANK you.

I had one of those and it works great . Mine got broke and can’t fine one now.

Yeah you didn't even show where you tied that first knot. By the time your camera zoomed back in, it looked like nothing had been tied and you had the tag end. Then you say to tie an overhand knot "to the line coming through the eye". Then what did you tie to on the first knot if not that line?

So what happens to the tightness the first time you fish with it? Am I supposed to tighten the drag all the way down and grab a towel every time I reel the line in?

This would have been a great video, if the camera would’ve shown you tying the knot onto the spool (instead of being blocked by your hands). I’m 0 for 2 so far (the last guy completely skipped that part of the tutorial). On to the next one. 🤞

Use cheap mono backing!

Thank you

I have a question what about if I don't have that spooling machine

Braid should not be used directly on the real as a backing. It’s too slippery.

Thank you for the video I had many questions about how to spool my new bait caster and how to tie the knot can’t wait to try spooling and start fishing

im so happy to watch this video. but i have one question sir,since i am very very new using baitcaster..should i put directly the lure to my main line?after setting up main line to the reel,should i attach directly the lur to it?or should i need a swivel?please looking forward on your reply.

Thank ya, this is what I was looking for

I'm a little late to the party but, this is one of the best videos explaining how to spool braid specifically. I kept having issues and realized it was due to the line not being spooled tight enough. Thanks!

Thanks for your help putting braided line on my Baitcaster reels.Buddy 🤠

🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What should I set my tension and brakes to when spooling the reel? This is my first time spooling a baitcaster.

Thank you sir 👌

Thank you for the advice I used a small strip of duct tape sure it’ll do just fine.

Thats an amazing video

Thanks!!!

Makes sense thanks man!

What about using mono should I put a ton of pressure

Simple and helpful..thanks!

Thanks dude. What a nice guy

Just getting into baitcasting reels so this was real helpful. Thanks

Nice vid!! Do you use FC leader on baitcaster?

Tight for the backing, but the part you cast in and out frequently will not be reeled on that tightly, so idk how much of a difference it makes

Just got my first baitcaster today. I’ve been wanting to try it out for the longest time. This video is very helpful because I wasn’t sure on how to spool it up. Thank you

Awesomeness, I was wondering why my braid on my baitcaster was sticking together. Thanks again!!

Great video you kept it short simple but effective 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great tips!
