After some time, and after resting in the dead season, the fishing line will have become frayed, and will have "memorized" the coils of the spool, making casting more difficult, and tangling more likely. To improve results, replace the fishing line at least once per season. This article will explain how to do it right.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Method 1: Whirlpool
Step 1. Reload the Reel
This is located under the fishing rod.
- Note the direction of rotation. According to the brand, some rotate to the left, others to the right. Now, check the new spool, and make a note of the way the new thread unwinds.
- For each reel, make sure that the direction of rotation of the reel and the direction of unwinding of the reel match. In other words, if the reel turns to the left, make sure the line from the bobbin unwinds to the left. This will help minimize folds and spirals.
- If the two directions don't match, simply flip the coil over.
Step 2. Tie the new line to the spool of the reel
Lift the bow (line guide) of the reel, and slide the end of the new line into the rings of the rod up to the spool of the reel. Tie the thread as follows:
- Wrap the thread around the spool.
- With the free loop, tie a simple knot around the main thread.
- Make a second simple knot near the end of the free loop to prevent the thread from unraveling.
- Tighten the knot around the spool, and trim the excess thread near the knot.
- Note: If you are using very thin thread and want to avoid knot bulk, use duct tape to secure the thread to the spool.
- Close the headband.
Step 3. Hold the thread between two fingers to keep it taut as you wind some of it into the spool
Step 4. Stop winding and bring the barrel closer to the reel on the floor
Check that the turn of the reel has the same rotation as the reel. If all goes well, go ahead and finish. Otherwise, repeat the steps until everything is fine.
For a reel, a good way to wind the line is to take some cotton fabric and hold the line with the cotton near the first ring of the rod. Apply a good amount of pressure, so that the thread wraps in tension, and rotate with the speed you want
Step 5. Fill the spool to approximately 6mm from the edge
Method 2 of 3: Part 2: Rotating Coil
Step 1. Put a pencil in the new spool and get help from someone who holds it - or uses a power station that you can buy at a specialty store
Step 2. Wrap to approximately 6mm from the outer edge
Put a little pressure on the thread to prevent it from forming rings and tangles.
Method 3 of 3: Part 3: Spool with Protection
Step 1. Unscrew the cover
Before wrapping you need to tie the thread to the spool.
Step 2. Note the direction of rotation
According to the brand, some rotate to the left, others to the right. Now, check the new spool, and make a note of the way the new thread unwinds.
- For each reel, make sure that the direction of rotation of the reel and the direction of unwinding of the reel match. In other words, if the reel turns to the left, make sure the line from the bobbin unwinds to the left. This will help minimize folds and spirals.
- If the two directions don't match, simply flip the coil over.
Step 3. Slide the wire into the hole in the shield
Then, attach the new thread to the spool. Lift the bow (line guide), and slide the end of the new line through the rings of the barrel up to the spool. Tie the thread as follows:
- Wrap the thread around the spool.
- With the free loop, tie a simple knot around the main thread.
- Make a second simple knot near the end of the free loop to prevent the thread from unraveling.
- Tighten the knot around the spool, and trim the excess thread near the knot.
- Note: If you are using very thin thread and want to avoid knot bulk, use masking tape to secure the thread to the spool.
Step 4. Screw the cap onto the spool before continuing
Step 5. Hold the thread between two fingers to keep it taut as you wind some of it into the spool
Step 6. Stop winding and bring the barrel closer to the reel on the floor
Check that the turn of the reel has the same rotation as the reel. If all goes well, go ahead and finish. Otherwise, repeat the steps until everything is fine.

Advice
- Run the new thread under an old book to keep it under pressure and free one hand (especially useful with a braided cord) !.
- To attach the new thread to the bobbin, you can use a flat knot, but be sure to hook the knot to the bobbin so the thread does not slip. Some patch on the take-up reel really helps to avoid the slipping problem.
- If you don't have a boat, remove the bait and tie the line to a support. Move away, unwinding the thread behind you. You can now rewind, but be sure to keep tension using your fingers.
- Using a thread guide for the new spools before winding into the reel spool will help to wind the line better and avoid loops and creases. Regular use of line guides, before and after fishing, will protect the line and make it last longer; It will also allow longer and more precise casts.
- If the line has many spirals and folds, remove the bait and free a lot of line behind the boat as you go. This will eliminate the rings and creases.
- If you want to make the best use of a thread, wind it into another spool, then, rewind into the starting spool. In this way, the used parts will be at the bottom, while the unused or less used part will be at the beginning.
- Try to recycle the old thread. Choose the expected way in the place where you live.
- Reels with full spool protection do not hold much line, so remove the cover and see how much you can wind.
- To avoid tangling while fishing, keep the line taut whenever you are wrapping. If necessary, hold the line between your thumb and finger in front of the reel.
- If you use a braided cord, be sure to stop the thread at the beginning with a fabric tape, or make a layer of monofilament. Otherwise the lanyard will slip into the reel and you will not be able to attach it to the hook.
Warnings
- NOT never throw the wire in open spaces or in water. Birds and fish get entangled and die.
- Biting the floss can chip or break your teeth.
