Richard this is how I put my line on. I have ever since I watched this video not long after you made it. Works like a charm, no line twists for years now. Thank you sir!

[@geardrivensmoke1657]

I cast so much further now, kids have less issues every time we go, this video changed fishing for me no doubt.

[@CrappieCom]

Thanks for the shout out to Billbob. I know him well, and yep, he's a great fisherman, and a great representative for crappie fishermen everywhere. Thank you for your service Billbob. And thank you Richard for sharing.

Best spooling video on KZbin hands down.

[@charlielewis6849]

I've been fishing all my life all 64 years and that is the first time I ever herd of that I surely will try it a special thanks to our veterans and you richard gene

[@jerryking3208]

Thank you. Finally a solution to a life long problem.

[@Fishing4Reel]

I've seen all kinds of "professionals" show how to put line on the reel but I've NEVER heard of soaking the spool in water. You definitely take the prize for this very helpful hint.

[@drummr4lyfe]

Thanks Richard Gene! I will start soaking my spools from now on.

[@joyfuljenny9936]

Richard, After seeing you use this line in different videos, I purchased some on in both 4lb and 6lb, and love it! However, yesterday I had so many wind knots that like you said, I just gave up and went home. :( Thanks for taking the time to teach on such important subjects like spooling your line. I'm gonna a respool my reel today using your technique. There are so many voices out there ... but you're is one I have come to trust. God bless and tight lines!

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Thanks, I have been having so much trouble spooling my new reels & the older ones I've reconditioned for my grandkids. It is SOOOO annoying & expensive. I also appreciate seeing that you're using the line I just ordered!

[@deeohdubb4143]

Man I hope you get paid well for your vids cuz you deserve it and so much more you deserve shows,sponsers,your own fishing products...wish I had someone like you in my life...your the definition of a good person....they don't make em like you no more..that MOLD was broke long time ago ya know type that grew up with no cell phone or internet had to have respect and honor had to stand for something when your word was everything people did things based on the persons word and handshake..

[@alaskamike3577]

Richard, you are my go to master Guru. You explain things so real people can understand. I can't thank you enough for what you do to help us all be better fishermen.

[@bobcrabb2310]

Thank you Richard for all your hard work putting these videos out it's been such a help ! I'm going to start soaking my line too ! I went bass fishing yesterday with a bunch of sunfish , waiting the 10-15 seconds before setting the hook seems like an eternity LOL but is well worth it ! Thanks again !!!

[@pacificblui3711]

I just finished spoiling up my baitcaster and I knew how to spoil a spinning reel but I just wanted to hear you talk about it! Good vid

[@johnrowlee3023]

Yes thank you Bill Bob for your service, I to am a Vietnam veteran, And Richard I am sorry for your loss of your brother. But as always another great informative video, and I thank you. God bless you and your family.

[@loisbob]

Hi Richard. This is the best advice I've ever gotten about filling spinning reels. I used to spool up then remove the spool, strip the bearings, drag parts then soak the whole spool in hot water until it cooled, then re-assemble. Your way is well thought out and way easier. Thanks for the advice...and good fishin'........Bob

[@subaquaticsleepwalker7240]

Yeah great video thank you Richard Gene TFM. I remember being taught to soak the spooled line on my removable spool from a spinning reel in medium hot tap water for about twenty minutes until the water is room temperature. This is from way before the internet when you still had things like pagers. Also, one trick I use to keep a steady light pressure on the line when spooling it is to let a hooded sweatshirt lay on the line on the carpet between the reel I'm filling and the feed spool. I do keep my feed spool placed horizontally I don't know why I was just told it's best and I always had good luck with that. I get great casts this way even in to the wind with very light lures. Keep fishing, keep building up our community of Fishermen and be good to each other.

[@jacobl6572]

I was taught never to spin the line off using an axial rod. You add a twist each turn doing it like shown with each turn of the bail. You are to allow the coils to unwind in the direction of the bail rotation by placing the coils in line with each other.

[@rmbooker1]

Thanks for the tip, definitely will try this week. Those wind knots been driving me crazy. I knew about the direction off the spool along with keeping the tension the same as the line goes on, but I never knew about soaking the line before hand. Keepem comin cause they’re great tips from a pro.

[@lexwaldez]

America's favorite multiple personality fisherman (fishermen?) come thru again. I was just getting ready to pull my rods out of the garage and prep for early spring with new line and saw this. Never thought to soak it in water. I will give this a try and once again a big thank you for the knowledge. You are a true master of your sport.

[@scottieupchurch5156]

Thanks for the tip. This solved my line twist issues. Love the videos. Keep them coming. My buds and I love watching them.

[@russellstewart5414]

Simply the best fishing information in the world. Basic and well done. And that theme song needs to be on the radio

[@floridatabdigger3104]

WOW!!! One of the few videos that show putting the line on by allowing the spool to turn instead of off the end. Thumbs up!!!

[@TennesseeGunslinger]

Thanks for the tip Richard - works great! I minimized the work getting the residual glue off the spool by spraying it with WD-40. After it sits for a while, you can scrape most of the glue off with a pocket knife. Another application of WD-40 and the rest of the glue washes off easily with soap and hot water.

[@rightgeezer8535]

Wish I had watched this video yesterday. Put line on 3 reels earlier today and I made a geezer mess of it. Going out to soak the rest of my spools. Thanks Richard.

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

This is the best video I have seen on the subject of putting new line on your reel. Thanks Richard!

[@eachwon4657]

Thank you Mr. Gene! This video is just as valuable & informative as your fishing technique videos. Salute to the Crappie Sensei. 🙏🏾

[@rodneyburkett4325]

Mr. Richard, Thank you so much for this valuable information. I usually take my reel to Southern Outdoor Sports and they have a machine that does it in just a couple of minutes. But I still have those loops and twist depending on the brand line. I will be giving my spools of fishing line a nice long bath from now on, LOL. You are THE MAN !!!!!!Thank you againRodney

[@keithbartlett6708]

Thank you for your knowledge fishing machine!!! Keep them coming and God Bless America!!!

[@dewaynehastings7537]

Enjoy your videos thank for tips and secrets I followed your instructions on this video. It’s amazing it works like a charm. Two months fishing no line twist. You da man hope to bump into ya on one of my trips to the lake

[@flysubcompact]

Never heard of soaking the line, but I will try it. Thanks. As to re-lining solo, I have a 3/8" wood dowel. All my fishing line is kept in a milk crate. I pass dowel through one side of the crate, then through the spool, then through the other side of the crate. Peel off some line and thread it through another hole in the crate. This gives an even tension while spooling.

[@solarcognac7112]

Recently I left my line in my truck bed for 2 weeks which 5 of those days it rained lol 😂. Since I’ve put it on I haven’t had any twist!

[@treetop9914]

Thank you for your service Billbob and Richard thanks for the tips they help me a lot. GOD BLESS

[@lastchance8574]

Richard Jean, I built a contraption to hold my spool that uses a spring and nut to set tension on the line spool. Never heard of soaking line in water before transferring it to my reel but I'm gonna try it out next time. Thanks Sir for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Stay safe out there and happy fishing too ya.

[@jimmyjones3416]

Good information. I watch lot of your videos, good stuff. We fish a lot of the same water. Very informative and thanks for sharing.

[@drumking388]

Richard here is a great tip for putting line on a spinning reel. BTW, I enjoyed the video. Get an empty peanut butter jar that these 1/4 lb spools will fit in and drill a small hole in the center of the side (about midway of the spool of line) and thread the end of the line of the spool through and the end can be secured with tape after you have finished filling your reel. Put the top back on the peanut butter jar and then you could hold the jar with your feet and apply tension on the line as you are rapidly filling the reel.

[@scottwilson707]

Richard, Thanks so much for posting this. I am soaking line tonight. If this solves my challenge it will open up a whole new world for spinning reel fishing. I have the most problems when I try and put 10-12 pound line on a spinning reel

[@travisbruno5964]

Your hero jimmy Huston puts his on the same way the reel turns. Most all spinning reels turn counter clockwise so I flip the spool to unwind that way and have had good luck so far. Tkx for the video

[@1cleandude]

Richard you need to try this l! Splice your new line onto backing line just spool it on. NOW remove the spool from reel and soak it for fifteen minutes in a cup of warm/hot water. This will confirm the new line to spool and no line twist! More time to fish and no COLON problems!!
