Spool School - How to put line on a reel properly

[@marcbrewster1966]

I've just seen this after spooling up 4 reels about an hour ago, I used the drill & screw driver trick too, great video !

[@neilmilner7074]

Love you channel Rob, plenty of diversity and breadth of content. And no plugging Brands and showy sponsored nonsense with a peg full of top end kit that most anglers could never afford unless they're sponsored. Well done mate.🤙

[@RobHughesTV]

Thanks Neil. Plenty more coming too.

that cereal tub is a great tip.....thanks Rob!

[@stevetierney2630]

You did brilliantly, right up until you used WD40. It's not designed as a lubricant. Worse that that, is that it will get into the reel and destroy the properties of the grease.

[@vincedowling4777]

Excellent, best video on this simple process ever.

[@RobHughesTV]

Thanks Vince

[@gort742]

Totally disagree with putting WD40 on your reel , it is not a lubricant , it's in the name " Water Displacement " its made from Hydrocarbons and is only a rust inhibitor , O.K. for a while then goes sticky and attracts grit and grime . Much better to use a light machine oil or even 3 in 1 oil .

Awesome Rob thanks for this

[@dalecox8109]

Brilliant video, Do you have a link for the drill spool tool please

[@endlessrage4062]

I appreciate you respool this way and are obviously happy with the results. However it’s not the very best way of eliminating twist when putting on a fixed spool reel. It is the perfect way of spooling up a multiplier.... Think of mono as if it were a hosepipe. Remember having back in the day your hosepipe on an old car wheel fixed to the wall? If you pull it off and just try to straighten it, it has a tendency to kink due to twist. If you pull it off and wanted to put it onto another wheel then you would put it on as it came off the wall fixed side stopping any twist at all. So by that rationale, placing your spool of line on the floor, stand over it and hold your reel facing down at it and turn the handle will show you the way the reel rotor spins. This shows which way up the spool of line should face so it comes off the desired way. Just for the record I think 99.9% of reel spin the same way hence the new line should come off the spool anti-clockwise which means the line goes onto the reel the same way it came off the spool. Result is optimal therefore damn near zero twist. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, the description is easier with diagrams! Anyhow, keep up the great work, Rob. All the best to you. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video Rob have you got any tips for fishing a very weedy lake 🎣👍👍

[@RobHughesTV]

No probs. I'll have a look. I'm sure I've got loads of footage from over the years. I'll se what I can do.

great vid rob

[@paulsomersetwolf5970]

Thanks Rob great advise there👍

[@RobHughesTV]

Thanks mate. Good choice of team btw. WAW :)

[@antonyrodriguez2583]

Do you need to put the whole rod together when re spooling or just half the rod ok?

[@sillybait1329]

Some good tips Rob, I've heard of the line despooler but this is the first time I've ever seen one, could you please tell me who makes them??

[@RobHughesTV]

They're made by CarpSpirit. I think the Tackle Box have them but you'll find em on line somewhere for sure.

[@sillybait1329]

@@RobHughesTV thanks Rob, I'll have a look👍👍👍

[@petersmith8350]

Hey great video and cracking little tip using the cereal box,I was thinking of buying the velocity line but noticed you're only using 9.5lb breaking strain do you find this is sufficiently strong enough? Or should I go to 11.5 lbs as I usually fish 12lb but would prefer a lighter easy casting line. Thanks

[@RobHughesTV]

This is for my long range casting rod. I use it in 15 for other applications. I'd go up if its for "normal" fishing

[@paulmartin2116]

Great vid...thanks

[@bobnudd6879]

Bloody hell it looks full after taking it off !!!

[@simonchaddock3694]

Is it same for all reels cheers

[@brettrev]

What reels are those Rob

[@jamiehands7182]

Hi rob where did u buy the d-spool from ? Thank you

[@RobHughesTV]

I think the Tackle Box have them in. Have a little search on line

[@carl6131]

I did wonder if fishing line could be recycled

[@jamiehands7182]

How good is this line ? carp spirit velocity line

[@RobHughesTV]

Yes mate its really good. Made for CarpSpirit by Sufix, the leading line manufacturer.

[@ShorrockPaul]

Hmmm nearly all the line spooling tutorials talk about line twist when respooling and that you have to lay the spool flat and let the line come off counterclockwise same direction the bail spins (looking from back) this lays the line on with no twist. Vertical spool or old style pencil through spool is for spooling baitcasters or if you take your spining spool off and run it parallel to the line spool... and using WD40 is not a good idea t will seep into the body, it will ruin rubber seals and it is not a lubricant

[@EricPollarrd]

Nice to see Piers Morgan’s brother took a far less satanic career line

[@thomasbouwhuis9640]

dont use wd40 its gonna ruin your grease

[@tonypage3005]

Or you could just burn the line , if you dont have recycling access.

[@danrobinson7473]

WD40 🤦‍♂️

[@maenterpriseinc]

No thanks brother ub40 will destroy your o rings seal and aloud dirt ger inside the spoon
