HOW TO SPOOL UP WITH TAPERED MAINLINE - CARP FISHING

[@camokhazi]

This is good advice for filling spools with any line which isnt bulk supplied. I use this method for braid. I've just put some of this tapered line onto my reels. Although about 1/3 more expensive for 1000m, or 3 spools, it's still good value. If you reverse it at the end of the season you get 2 years of use, which you probably wouldn't do with regular bulk mono. Also, on big weedy pits the .50 leader end gives you more abrasion resistance.

great shout!

How come you have to count the turns for the backing line and I have shimano xtd 14000

[@johnlee2230]

You count the turns it takes to fill the first spool perfectly with backing line so the next spools you fill you will know exactly how much backing line to start with, it's all explained perfectly by Harry in the video, very easy👍

[@markmason13]

I do like the tapered exocet line if leaders are banned but for masive casts I do like a braided leader. The one thing with the tapered line I do not like is the lenth of the thinker 'leader' line so I always cut it down a bit.

[@bennicholson191]

Can you tell me when you reversed off the 1st spool was the spool spinning on it side?

[@dafyddgould9485]

So when u used the first spool line to the new empty spool how was that don’t? Was in it water so someone holding it?

[@denigong9708]

Could you cut in half and spool up on bait casters for bass? I'm very interested in this line but fish for bass

[@fox_international]

if you wanted to, that is possible but it has been designed specifically for carp fishing

[@DestricaUKGaming]

Use braid

[@cotsworldcarper5656]

Every single person who said this is hassle and waste of time...... iv used this main line for a while and let me tell you it's worth every second, the line is unbelievable

[@fox_international]

thanks, glad you like it so much. Guess not everyone can see the benefits, or fish waters where you'll need this line.

[@WERONEfishing]

OMG harry you blew my bloody head i will try it because i fish PVA bags as well excellent vid i'm glad your doing videos now you have some skill EL champion really great vid more please

Hi i have just got the fox tapperd 300mtrs at 0.30 but my spools take 300mtrs of 0.35 will I still need backing on my 300mtrs spools thank you buddy

[@leevermiglio8701]

How did you get on my reels are same

[@frosty2331]

@@leevermiglio8701 hello buddy the line was perfect and filled the spools just nice cast like a dream getting 40 wraps bit more practice and hope to hit the 50 hope your keeping well mate

[@leevermiglio8701]

frosty that’s excellent news I’ll put it on my emblems, appreciate the response tight lines my friend 🎣

[@frosty2331]

I got the embloms with the gold spools with the fox tapperd line it's the shallow spools you already know that haha but my son tryed filling with the deep spools hahaha keep safe and well mate

[@leevermiglio8701]

frosty what lb tapered did you get 15lb ?

[@ryancherry5300]

How many turns on each side of the back to back grinner knot ?

[@johnlee2230]

The back to back grinner should never have to be put under pressure so you don't need loads of turns, smaller knot the better, you'll probably only need 2/3 on the thicker leader line & 4/5 on the backing line👍

[@fox_international]

@@johnlee2230 spot on

[@johnlee2230]

Very good advice 👍

[@samuelippary446]

Can I use the Fox EOS 12000 Reel on my 10ft carp rod 🤔❤️

[@AaronCarpAngler-UK]

Great 👍🏻

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Clever .. like it .. cheers

[@alexbrown6624]

Why don’t Fox just have an insert for their spools like Shimano have save you all the extra backing out and on the insert put the amounts required at the different diameters of line ? You could even sell them separately as spares if you didn’t want to give as part of issue when purchasing your new reels !

[@gideonmcdermott-swann4427]

I think fox get a lot more hate than other fishing companies eg. Korda, Nash ect. Genuinely wouldn't know why, there end tackle is good quality and there very budget friendly with there eos range, maybe theres a reason, can anyone justify on this?

[@paulnelson7698]

Hassle

[@twistedgooner6472]

Some of these comments make me wonder how some people make it through the day.....Jesus

[@FishTrips]

This video could have been useful, but instead will lead to many underfilled spools. 😉 Yes, you need to count the backing line, but NOT when you fill up the first spool! You need to count, when loading it over to an empty spool! The same length of line will result different turn counts on a half filled spool and an empty one. And for the rest of your reels you need the latter.

[@uksewingmachineservice7030]

Nice one mate looking good to me mate don 🤠🇬🇧🙋🙋🙋🌈🌈👍👍stay safe frend

[@Theshotdemon]

Sorry Harry, that's an inaccurate way to do it mate. 100 turns on an empty spool isn't the same amount of line as 100 turns on a half filled spool

[@kk-GUK]

It’s not about the spool, it’s the reels rotated length. Harry is absolutely correct.

[@Theshotdemon]

@@kk-GUK what exactly do you mean by reels rotated length?

[@kk-GUK]

@@Theshotdemon retrieval rate is the same for every turn of the handle, does not matter if spool is empty, half full, or full. Think about it!

[@Theshotdemon]

@@kk-GUK that's not true mate. Do this experiment and you'll see.... Get an empty spool and wind on 50 turns of line. (by turn, I mean a full turn of the handle). Take the line off and store it somewhere. Then load the spool with line, or swap the spool for one that is fully loaded. Then, load the same 50 turns of line on. All of a sudden, it won't be 50 turns of line. Try it.

[@kk-GUK]

@@Theshotdemon you need to go back to math basics mate, not being rude but you clearly don’t understand how a fishing reel works.

[@stevegrant4748]

This is nothing new I was doing a very similar method/less complicated 15 years ago lol

[@fox_international]

We would love to know your more simple method Steve. It would be great to share that with other anglers!

[@bennicholson191]

Bet he doesn't share tho

[@Theshotdemon]

Do as Harry does for first spool - tapered line on, then backing. No need to count turns. Put only the backing onto spool 2. Refill spool 1 with backing. Then also transfer backing only to spool 2. Refill spool 1 with backing again, then transfer all of it to spool 3. Transfer one set of backing from spool 2 to spool 1. Wind tapered line onto 1 and 2. Job done, no inaccurate counting like Harry's method, and you only need 3 spools to do it.

[@fox_international]

James Riley we’d like to think most anglers are able to count 😂 Harry’s method only requires 3 spools. The third mentioned is a spare for when you are fishing. But yes your method will work as well.

Why not fish on public water? It's sickens me, fishing on these komercial waters takes all the fun from fishing.

Many anglers find fishing these lakes fun. The beauty of our pastime is there is so much variety that there is something for everyone.

@@fox_international please do some wild river fishing. It's so much more demanding and fun. I was too komercial water fisherman, but since i have transferred to the rivers i never looked back.

[@ptaylor5014]

Absolute rubbish, why are you making something that is so simple bloody difficult? just stick with normal main line all the way through, no need to complicate things with all this nonsense!

[@fox_international]

Tapered mainlines are not for everyone, but some anglers will see the benefits that it will offer their fishing so will like this tip. A normal mainline all the way through can at times be too thin to withstand the force of a big cast, if fishing at distance. Equally if your line is thick enough (strong enough) to withstand the cast it will not cast as far as you can with a thinner line and a leader. This line fuses the two together so you have a thick line to withstand the force of the cast and a thin line causing less friction and casting a lot further. It will be the difference between fishing at 120 yards and 150 yards for many anglers!

He probably doesn't go fishing, or if he does he uses a pole

[@ptaylor5014]

@@bennicholson191 well yes i don't go fishing at the moment as i am following the lockdown rules, and no i don't own a pole but on some lakes i cast to 120 yards with 12lb main line and 3.5oz leads no problems, guess if i was going to fish a huge reservoir and needed to cast to 200 yards then maybe this tapered line might work, but if i had to cast that sort of distance i would use my bait boat to take it out and drop it, so still no need for a tapered line lol
