Sometimes you may take fishing as a hobby because it forms part of extra-curricular activities to boost your individuality. Not only will fishing keep you busy, but it also acts as a source of your happiness.
Fishing is an enjoyable and relaxing experience only to the fishing experts, especially when the weather is calm. Just imagine you start fishing, and before going far, you begin facing twists and tangles. It can be an annoying situation, and you will end up frustrated.
Luckily, using the right tools will make your day a success. Fixing a line as well as spooling a reel is a perfect method only if you know the process using a braided line. You will accomplish your mission within ten minutes. Here is the process.
Assemble all the necessities
For the process to be successful, ensure you have the following:
-
A braided fishing line
This product is manufactured using human-made fibers joined together, forming an active line. They are hard to break and are abrasions resistant.
-
A pair of scissors
Essential for cutting.
-
Monofilament line
A single strand material with multiple strands bundled and fused. It is made of a mixture of heated polymers extruded through tiny holes.
-
Wet washcloth used for protecting your hands
Select the braided lines to be used. Probably if you are going to perform bottom fishing. Ensure the braided lines are of different lengths. Braided lines are made of synthetic material that makes it easy to create one cord.

Thread The Monofilament Line On The Fishing Road
Monofilament is a single stand line used with floating baits when fishing. They stretch easily to allow for flexibility, making the hook remain secured within the mouth of the fish. They also do well when using a live-bait or a jig.
Carefully thread the monofilament on the fishing bar then pull the end part of the monofilament to the reel. Before you tie it on the spinning reel, determine if it is turning either clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Doing this will help you understand if the monofilament line will be perfectly spooled on the reel, or it will peel off away from the spool immediately you cast. Also, don’t forget to flip the bail carefully before placing the monoline on the spool. Or else, everything will be messy.
Ensure you use a secure knot that will not easily break when connecting the monofilament line on the reel. You can use an arbor knot as it works best and the most popular loop to use in fixing a fishing line with a spool.
Don’t forget to tie the knot firmly if you want a massive fish harvest. Sometimes tying the knot loosely makes the fish peel off the monoline braid.
-
Load The Reel
You can use your right hand to hold the monofilament near the fishing rod. If you want to add more tension, and keep the line tight, place it between your index finger and your thumb.
Swiftly use the left hand to reel. Do this continuously till you arrive at two or one layers of monofilament line remaining on the spool.
-
Attach The Monofilament Lines On The Fishing Line
Attach the monofilament line to the fishing line. Begin by cutting the monofilament line using a line cutter. Alternatively, you can use a pair of scissors to carry out the task. There are numerous ways of doing the attachment.
- Firstly, tie an arbor knot on the braided line then pull it tightly.
- Secondly, cross over the monoline over the knot tied on the braided line.
- Thirdly, on the monoline, twist the braided line several times on the mono line.
- Hold the tag end of the monoline with one hand while holding the braided line on the opposite side.
- Wet any twists formed by the braid and the mono.
- Tighten the strings.
- Pull the strings continuously and ensure the monoline creates a perpendicular design with the mainline.
-
Spool Your Spinning Reel
- Begin spinning the reel using the braided line. Don’t forget to tighten the line while cranking the reel. Amidst the spin, have some breaks to give room for range some slack for twists inspection.
- When the line is still twisting, you can realign the spool by stripping some line back. Apply minimal pressure on the line while loading it because too much pressure will lessen and tangle the wire. The line will deny you from fishing, and you will end up in frustrations.
- Keeping the line tight is easier said than done. Just hold it with your opposite hand between your forefinger and the thumb.
- Consequently, put the spool that has the braided line on flat ground then later, label it up, on the spinning rod of the first guide. This process helps in eliminating any chances of twists.
- However, if you realize that some twists are formed, you will be forced to restart the process once again.
- Again, swiftly reel on the braided line. You will realize that the monofilament is fully covered with the braid. Everything will now look fantastic, and the spinning journey will almost be over.
- Take a wet rag and hold the line.
-
Fill up The Spool
Continue filling the spool as well as filling the spinning reel using the braided line. Pay more concentration to ensure your work is superb. Make sure that the spool is filled with enough braid, and don’t forget to leave some allowance on the spool. Give it about ⅛ of an inch.
