How Do You Put the Line Back on a Fishing Reel?

Fishing reels are essential for storing and casting out fishing lines. At times, the lines may become tangled or come off the reel.

If this happens, you need to put the line back on your reel quickly so that you can continue fishing. Fortunately, it is a relatively easy process that requires only a few tools.

To start, gather your supplies. You will need some scissors and a bucket or container of water. An old toothbrush can also be helpful for cleaning the parts of the reel you will be handling.

Once you have your supplies, locate where on the reel spool you want to attach the fishing line. Use scissors to cut away any tangles from the end of your fishing line if necessary. Place one end of the fishing line into a bucket or container of water so that it becomes wet and easier to handle.

Now comes the tricky part – threading your fishing line onto the reel spool. Start by looping one end of your fishing line around one side of your reel spool and then pulling it tight with your fingers so that it is secure.

Repeat this process on the other side so that both ends are held tightly in place. Next, take each end of your fishing line and wrap them around themselves in a figure-eight pattern until they meet in the middle.

Once they meet in the middle, twist them together securely before tightening them further against either side of your reel spool using scissors or an old toothbrush if needed. Finally, pull each end tight again before tying off both ends so that there is no slack left on either side.

Now you have successfully put the line back on a fishing reel! If done correctly, you should now be able to cast and retrieve with no issues at all!

In conclusion, putting back a fishing line onto a reel is an easy process as long as you have all of the necessary tools ready beforehand. With some patience and practice, soon enough you’ll be an expert at putting lines back on reels!
