How Do You Replace a Line on a Fishing Pole?

Replacing a line on a fishing pole is an important skill that any fisherman should learn. It is often necessary to replace the line on a fishing pole due to its wear and tear over time, or because it has become frayed or tangled.

There are a few simple steps to follow that will help you replace the line on your fishing pole with ease.

Gather Supplies
The first step in replacing the line on your fishing pole is to gather the necessary supplies. These include the new spool of fishing line, scissors, and a lighter or matches. The new spool of line should be at least as thick as the old one so that it can hold up against the same amount of tension.

Remove Old Line

Once you have gathered all of your supplies, you need to remove the old line from your fishing pole. To do this, simply use a pair of scissors to carefully cut away any knots or tangles in the old line before pulling it out of the guides. Make sure that you take your time while doing this so that you don’t damage any other components on your pole.

Attach New Line

Now it’s time to attach the new line to your fishing pole. Start by threading one end of the new spool through one of the guides and then tie it off with an overhand knot near the top of your rod.

Once this is secure, slowly start winding the rest of the spool around your rod until all of it has been used up. As you wind, make sure that there are no kinks in the line and that it is evenly distributed around your rod.

Secure Ends

Once all of your new line has been wound onto your fishing pole, use a lighter or matches to melt each end together so that they don’t come undone when under tension from casting or fighting with a fish. This will ensure that you don’t lose any precious length from unraveling during use. Finally, double check for any kinks or tangles in your new line before heading out for some serious angling!

Conclusion:
Replacing a line on a fishing pole is not only necessary but also relatively easy if done correctly! With just some basic supplies and following these steps, you should be able to get back out there and have an enjoyable day on the water without having to worry about losing precious length due to unraveling!
