How to wind a fishing line onto a spool, on which spool to wind a fishing line. plastic or metal?
Spinning fishing became widespread in the early twentieth century. According to novice fishermen, the simple equipment and design of the spinning rod is not capable of causing difficulties on the shore of the reservoir. However, from the experience of experienced fishermen, a completely different conclusion can be drawn: spinning fishing is a complex process, which you can successfully master only by knowing certain secrets.
Incorrectly wrapping the fishing line on the reel of your spinning, you draw left without a catch. In a situation when the fishing line is not wound correctly, the reel will work poorly, you cannot throw far and precisely gear, and the possibility of the appearance of a “beard” is not ruled out.
In order to avoid all this, the following recommendations must be observed:
- Fasten the reel to the spinning rod. For high-quality winding of the fishing line, the reel must be fixed before the start of winding, and not vice versa.
- Holding the fishing line spool in hands, we pass the free end through the smallest fishing-rod ring. Following the sequence of fishing line must go through all the rings and reach the spool.
- The correct winding of the fishing line should be carried out with a certain resistance, in order to avoid twisting of the fishing line. Resistance should be moderate. For this procedure, it is best to take the help of a friend or relative. You can do this yourself by threading a pencil into the reel, create resistance with your feet.

- We wind the fishing line. The fishing line with the help of a knot (the knot is made as small as possible) is attached to the spool. The bobbin is held in one way or another. The line is wound smoothly without jerking at slow speeds of the reel. During winding it is impossible to stop, any stop may subsequently lead to the formation of a loop.
- The final stage. We wind the fishing line all the way, and then close the bow.

Before deciding on a coil, you need to know which coils exist at all.
Today you can find the following models of coils:
- inertialess reel, can be open spool or closed;
- inertial coils. wire;
- inertial coils. multipliers.
The division of the coils can be continued into types according to the method of fishing
[box type = "download"] Tip: for a novice fisherman, it is best to use a reel containing 100 meters of fishing line (diameter 0.2-0.3 mm) and endowed with a bobbin with a size of 2000-3000 [/ box]
Today, fishermen use different types of winding fishing lines, namely:
- direct cylindrical winding;
- straight cone winding;
- reverse cone winding.
The inertia-free reel is an ideal option not only for spinning fishing, but also for a beginner in this business.
It can be of 3 types:
- Closed. there is a protective cap.
- Open. the spool is open.
- Half-closed. the spool is half closed.
In most cases, inertialess reels provide for taper adjustment when winding fishing line. Adjustment is carried out using special washers, which are installed under the spool on the axis. Washers allow winding from straight cone to reverse.
For fishing, which is carried out using jerked lures, the line is rewound with a reverse cone (the washer is removed completely or replaced with a smaller one).
With this winding, you will lose a little in casting distance, but ensure the safety of dropping loops.

This type of reel can be used with almost all gear. In practice, it is proved that the funds spent on the coil are fully justified. Basically, the multiplier reels are used for catching large fish, this is due to the fact that their mechanism is able to withstand the casting of a weighty bait.
A modern multiplier reel can be endowed with one way or another braking method, namely:
- mechanical method;
- magnetic braking;
- digital braking method.
Each method is interesting in its own way, for example, for mechanical braking, it is necessary to untwist the coil and manually set the limit. For magnetic, a lever is used from the outside, with which the braking mode is set, the digital brake works from a special chip.

How to catch more fish?
I have been engaged in active AL-KOI fish for quite some time and have found many ways to improve my bite. And here are the most effective:
- Bite activator. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones that are part of the composition and stimulates its appetite. It is a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to introduce a ban on its sale.
- sensitive gear. You can find reviews and instructions on other types of gear on the pages of my site.
- Pheromone lures.
You can get other secrets of successful fishing by reading my other materials on the site.
Closed coil
The closed reels of the inertialess model are designed in such a way as to facilitate the casting as much as possible and to reduce the tangling of the fishing line at the time of fishing.
To achieve these positive qualities, others were lost, namely:
- due to the fact that there are a large number of parts in the reel, it is difficult to make long casting as well, the fisherman does not feel the fishing line stretching during the winding process;
- during fishing using this reel, the fishing line becomes rough due to the numerous friction on the internal parts.
To reduce these shortcomings, expensive reels use fishing line guides made exclusively from high-quality metal.
Backing, what is it?
Fishing backing is a cord for lengthening. It is the link that stands between the coil and the main cord. When fishing with spinning, you can use a fishing line or thread as a backing.
It’s up to you to decide whether to choose a fishing line or a thread as a backing, the main thing is that you can’t use cotton thread (it will quickly rot); you only need to use 100% synthetic. There is no significant difference between the two starting materials.
The main thing here is to make sure that the diameter of the winding is either a smaller diameter or the same with the main cord. Because of this, it will depend on how even the main cord lies in the coil.
In the event that it is incorrect to approach the storage of fishing line during the off-season and after each fishing, then you risk getting an unpleasant surprise at the most inopportune moment. On the shore of the reservoir when fishing, the fishing line may break.
To prevent this, the following action is recommended:
- dry the fishing line. for this, the main fishing line is unwound from the reel to the floor for complete drying. After that, the fishing line is wound back, but do not forget to create a small load on the fishing line. After each fishing, there is no need to unwind the entire fishing line, the length that was used for fishing will be enough.
Difficulties arise when winding a braided cord. If you do not provide for its rigid fixation, then it can scroll. To do this, a rubber gasket is needed on the spool shaft. Suitable for this and part of the fingertip.
To choose a coil, you need to know what they are:
- Inertialess. Great for a beginner, maybe with a closed and open spool;
- Inertia, lead and animators are designed for experienced fishermen;
Three types of winding:
- Cone-shaped ascendant. With this winding, the scaffold will be tilted along the axis of rotation. And the outer part will have a larger diameter than the inner;
- Cone-shaped descending. The winding is conical, but the inner part will have a radius slightly larger than the outer;
- Cylindrical. The extreme line of the thread is parallel to the axis of rotation of the spool.
Inertial coil
All inertia coils are distinguished in that it is not difficult to make windings on it. It will be attached to the drum of the rod with a double loop or a stitch unit. Then it is necessary to wind the desired length, creating a small tension, and during the winding, carefully make sure that the thread is wound evenly, without creating turns.
The easiest way to create a little tension is to use any book by passing the thread through the pages.
Closed coil
A kind of inertia. The spool where the cord is being wound is closed. Winding is carried out as inertial.
The spreader is responsible for the winding. It has the appearance of a plastic or metal eyelet with a rubber roller, during which it makes circular revolutions.
After the first turn, the layer starts to lay down the forest upward, and after the second turn, the thread continues to move in the opposite direction. As a result, the winding is cross-wise.
We pass to the most crucial moment. winding fishing line. Place the reel on the rod, and then thread the fishing line into the rings and tie it to the spool.
The most correct option would be to use a self-tightening unit. In order not to learn the new node, we use the same capturing one:
- To start, we form a loop
- Next, we envelop the fishing line with the free end and begin to form a gripping unit
- Now it remains to thread the short end of the fishing line into the loop under the twist and tighten the knot
- It remains to put the loop on the spool and tighten
Modern animators are a very complex mechanism. It is important to know that when using this type of reel, you can not use backing, the line should be uniform and without unnecessary bundles.
At the same time, it is desirable that the fishing line is wound with the right stretch and under the very edge. If these rules are not followed, the fishing line may become tangled when casting.
Tie fishing line
Modern coils of this type have a perforated spool, that is, with holes (some call it a lightweight spool). Therefore, you need to tie the fishing line with an ordinary knot, for example, with which you attach the hooks.
Wound fishing line on a spinning reel for long casting
How to fix a fishing line to a spool
It is best to fix the braided line to the spool with a regular loop loop. it is easier to remove it later.
But the braid almost does not stretch, so the first loop and all further winding under load begins to slip over the surface of the spool. As a result, when fishing the fish, the line is etched, and the friction clutch does not crack. To prevent this, some reels (e.g. DRAGON Fishmaker) have a non-slip insert on the spool.
If there is nothing like this, it is enough to tighten the cap loop in the center and fix the first turn across 1-2 stripes of the patch. these strips will be pressed in the next turns and keep the entire winding from slipping.
- tight
- preferably without additional twisting,
- preferably evenly
For winding, the coil is attached to the lower bend of the spinning rod with the largest flow ring (the curvature of the mowing line of the winding is less so), the line from the bobbin is passed through this ring and attached to the spool when the logger is open. Then the logger’s bow closes, the spinning ring is directed onto the reel with fishing line, and dense uniform winding of the fishing line begins by rotating the handle of the reel.
Video: How to Wrap Spinning Fishing Line Correctly
To ensure this tight winding, the line must pass through an obstacle with uniform tension. You can wrap the fishing line 1-2 meters from the ring with an unnecessary rag, which is pressed with the weight to the floor, you can pass the fishing line through a slot along the bottle stopper or between the pages of an unnecessary book.
What is the danger of loose winding? The fact that with further load (bite or hook), an “insert” occurs. the upper turns cut into between the less dense lower turns. Then, at the next cast, several turns will be reset at once and the fishing line will become tangled. Even worse. there will be a "shooting" of the bait. Therefore, in "suspicious" cases, it is advisable to dissolve the line and rewind it tightly.
But tight winding is not everything. Theoretically, it is desirable to immediately avoid unnecessary twisting of the fishing line.
But the trouble is that the inertia-free coil, by definition, is constantly gradually twisting the fishing line into a “spiral” when the translational movement of the fishing line passes into a radial winding on the spool. The twisting effect is more pronounced for a soft braid. if you look closely at the work cord in the sun, it usually resembles a thin twisted ribbon, which is visible in the light and shadow areas. But the inertia also tightens up the stiffer monofork.
True, when casting, the twisted fishing line is partially straightened, but not to the end. A small initial twist remains and intensifies with each new winding, until upon reaching a critical value the twisted fishing line without tension is twisted into a loop. And this is overwhelming, tangling, knot and "beard".
That is why some authors have long advised to keep the reel with fishing line in a certain way when winding, in order to "balance the spin pitch on the reel spool and the spin pitch from the reel."
Theoretically, everything is correct, but the real effect of such an action is small, so I refused it. The fact is that the spool and the bobbin have different diameters, so complete “balancing” will not work. Plus, in this way it is difficult to ensure uniform tension of the fishing line when winding. But the main thing is that a small initial twist is still far from critical, in order to be afraid of this.
over, modern reels due to special measures (Twist Buster and Twist Buster-II rollers) noticeably reduce the twisting of the fishing line. But they do not solve the problem completely. One way or another, but while fishing, the fishing line is gradually twisted, and over time, promotion measures will be required, which we will discuss later.
It is clear that the more evenly the fishing line falls on the spool, the easier it comes off it. and the easier and further casting is performed. And a good reel should wind the line tightly and as evenly as possible along the entire length of the spool. without “humps” and “cones”.
The unevenness of the winding is fraught with the same thing as the “inset”. the lower turns along the way pull higher turns from the “humps” and “cones”, as a result of which again there are discharges and “beards”. But here the trouble can happen at any moment, and not only after a significant load, where it is predictable and correctable. Agree, the constant unraveling of the fishing line does not decorate fishing.
By the way, here you can still catch with the monolesk somehow, but the thinner braid practically does not tolerate “humps” and “straight cones”. Indeed, from them the rear turns slide more easily forward and are captured by the lower ones in the direction of travel. But with a small “reverse cone” you can catch the windings (when there is more fishing line in front than in the back). here the fishing line has nowhere to slide forward. The main thing is that the taper is small.
over, the spools of some coils are structurally made with a small inverse cone. for the same reasons: the winding follows the shape of the spool. Although braking during casting is slightly increased here, it eliminates much more unpleasant consequences with sidebars and faults.
True, not everything is so scary. Some winding flaws can be fixed. For example, in coils with front clutch, the “extra cone in front” (photo below) can be reduced by “raising” the spool by placing an additional washer under it on the rod — then the entire winding will shift slightly back. And vice versa, removing the washer, we slightly lower the spool on the rod. then the winding will slightly shift forward.
Since the washer under the spool does not carry any load, but is only a lining, it can be made of any plastic of suitable thickness itself. And some coils already have shims in the kit. After all, even the same models can have different backlashes, so the possibility of self-adjustment will not hurt.
Small winding irregularities can be eliminated by displacing the knot under the “failure section” and making the first turns there manually. For larger “dips”, you can try to make an “anti-gasket” under them from any lightweight material. usually a solid foam. Anti-gasket smoothes the “humps”, causing them to “creep” to the sides. In the course of the “fitting”, adding or decreasing somewhere, it is possible to achieve a relatively even winding.
In extreme cases, you can simply cut off the discarded part of the fishing line. let the spool be filled below the "norm". Naturally, this will reduce the casting range. but it will be possible to catch.
And the best thing is to immediately get a normal coil.
The “braid” should be completely unwound, dried, and again, but with a slight tension, wound on a spool for storage. Next season, rewind it more tightly. A good cord lasts for several years and fails due to the inevitable hooks and breaks, but not because of the "old age".
The cost of such a toy averaged 1.600. 2000 thousand rubles. Plus, the extra money went to buy fishing line. Frequent beards catastrophically quickly reduced the footage of the winding. As a result, in one season it was possible to spend an average of about 5,000 thousand rubles. And over the past 3 years?
I will be brief. So as not to be wasted, but to save the money saved on catchy baits, just fork out right away for a normal bait. Do not chase the top models. Pay attention to manufacturers such as Ryobi, SPRO, Okuma. Now, with a deplorable increase in prices, coils have become somewhat more expensive, but still spending once 5-6 thousand you will have enough for 5-6 years. That’s exactly the period I live with Ryobi Excia 2000.
So as not to get confused, let’s immediately define two terms. stacking and winding fishing line.
Stacking is the shape that the fishing line takes after the spool is full. In everyday life there are three of them:
The styling shape depends on the shape of the spool and its position on the spool rod. The casting distance depends on the laying, and the probability of the formation of a “beard” depends on the winding of the fishing line.
Winding. placing turns of fishing line on the spool.
Recently, on many inertialess coils, on the above-mentioned companies, crosswise winding is also used. But on different coils, depending on their design features, the winding pitch (the distance between adjacent turns) can be different, and it can also be constant or variable.
The most acceptable is cylindrical styling. Problems with beards often do not arise. The bait flies further due to less friction on the sides of the spool.
The adjustment of the fishing line is made by moving the spool along the spool rod. This can be achieved by using special washers. They are factory or independent execution. Excellent washers are obtained from boxes from wobblers.
If we lift the spool, then more turns are wound around the wall and we get a straight cone, lower it along the rod. at the side, an inverse cone is formed. Fuss is still that, but the thing is necessary. You can see its effectiveness when fishing.
It will be easy to bind using the following methods:
- Self-locking double eyelet
- Clinch
- Special assembly for better mounting
Take a look at the drawing. It shows in detail two methods of tying fishing line on a bobbin.
Properly wound fishing line on the spool
Another question that worries many inexperienced fishermen is which bobbin to wind the wire rope. plastic or metal? Many people think that a metal spool is intended only for braided rope, and a plastic spool is for a thread. But this is a fallacy.
Metal spool
How to reel a line on an inertialess reel alone: video
- Place the spool on the metal pin, which must be pre-fixed statically. It can be a pencil, a needle or a long screwdriver. The main thing is that the reel rotates freely.
- Pass the wire through the rings and tie the knot. Start refueling with the spool mount.
- Now lift the arch of the logger and wrap the line along the spool. Make another knot and tighten. Lower the logger.
- Under the attachment point, you can stick a patch or attach a piece of gum cut off from the fingertip. This will help the wire rope to wrap properly and it will not slip.
- Now wind the thread by turning the handle.
- The line should be in a tight position all the time. To do this, hold the reel with your free hand.
Watch the video. In it, an experienced fisherman tells how to reel a fishing line alone using backing.
How to reduce line stretching
Monolesk in the process of fishing gets wet and stretches. If the stretched fishing line is wound tightly on the spool, then with further drying after fishing, it shrinks very much. This not only reduces the quality of the fishing line, but can even distort a weak spool.
This means that monofilament needs to be dried after each fishing. To do this, you just need to dissolve it on the grass and allow time to dry. If the grass is wet or it is raining, at the end of fishing, the monofilament should be wound very loosely, with a margin of “shrinkage,” and then rewound as quickly as possible.
By the way, drying and rewinding will not hinder the “braid”. it also has a residual elongation, albeit very small. In addition, rewinding eliminates “taps”, loops, and restores dense uniform winding for future fishing.
Any inertialess reel in principle spins a fishing line. Hence, periodic prevention is also needed here.
There are several ways to promote fishing line. The simplest and most popular is to dissolve the entire line on the soft grass and drag it for a considerable distance. It is even better to dissolve the fishing line from the bridge in the wind and the current, give it time to unwind and rewind slowly and tightly again. The same can be done with a moving boat. There is also a technical way. to make several postings with a special untwisting bait such as Devon.
For information. it takes much less time to unwind a fishing line than to unravel it. over, this can be done along the way. on the way to fishing and back.
An unpleasant surprise for us is always the "beard." over, with the "braid". due to its softness and smaller cross section. this happens more often and requires great efforts to unravel. The main reason for the "discharges" is the formation of fishing line loops due to its insufficient tension. Therefore, any weakening and sagging fishing line is undesirable.
This often happens at the very beginning of the posting, while the fishing line is still sagging. therefore, it rests on the spool freely and the "excess" part is twisted into a loop due to twisting. Often, loops are also formed during jerking and step postings, especially when an energetic pull is carried out only by a fishing rod, and then the line stops and sags.
It happens that during the first turn of the reel part of the weakened line does not fall on the spool at all, but twists around the friction clutch nut. a sure way to entangle.
Measures against such a negative are simple. After casting, pull the fishing line with a rod or even with your hand. and only after that start turning the handle. Make sure that the fishing line "fell" on the spool. In case of uneven wiring, also constantly monitor the line tension and, if possible, operate the reel as much as possible. It is worth recalling that models with an “endless screw” bring less trouble precisely because of the crosswise winding. although loops are formed there, it is already more difficult for them to “pull” the lower turns.
Unfortunately, the resulting loops are the reason not only for entanglement, but also for the “shooting" of baits. After all, when casting, the loop can sweep over any passage ring or sharply stop the descent of fishing line from the spool. The result is a click, and the bait flies far, far away. There is, however, another reason for such troubles. “sidebars,” of which we have already spoken.
Additional helpful tips
The main thing, when winding fishing line on a fishing rod reel, is a serious attitude to this matter. Indeed, if it is improperly wound a fishing line, the loop can be reset, and then you will not have to remove the fish, but for a long time to untangle the lump from the fishing line. So how do you make mistakes? Advice:
- Hook the reel onto a rigidly set, even stick, handle, knitting needle, and similar item. Most importantly, the line should be perfectly flat. this is very important.
- It will take one more free hand. But, if there is nobody to help, then you can get by in this process yourself. The above describes the instructions on how to reel a thread in one.
- Then pull the line through the ring and tie a knot at the end.
- Then attach the stitch thread on top of the bobbin in a circle, before that, raising the logging arch, and after the next tightened knot, lower the arch.
- It is important to ensure that the line is not at the level of the sides of the bobbin to prevent the loops from dropping. As described above, it is best to leave 1-2 millimeters to the side and preferably no more
- Done.
For many fishermen, it is important when winding the line of thread, of what material the spool is made of. Read about it below.
- To catch pike, you need to stock up on reliable equipment. To do this, try to purchase high-quality spinning. An ideal option would be a spinning rod made of high-modulus carbon fiber with a rod length of at least 2.5 meters. Fishing line is better woven than monofilament.
- As a bait, it is best to use spinners. They are easy to handle and they increase the chances of catching the treasured fish.
- For novice fishermen it is best to use a wobbler as a bait. He himself creates a game in the water, this does not require a beginner to have professional skills in sophisticated wiring.
- Throw spinning is necessary in the places of probable parking of the predator, and not just in the water surface.
On bright, sunny days, it is recommended to use the bait of dark tones, on cloudy days of light.
How to reel a fishing line on a bobbin reel?
This process will not seem complicated to you, but it is important for successful fishing and good mood in its process. Incorrect winding of the fishing line is fraught with tangling at the most inopportune moment. Undoubtedly, the resulting “beard” will not allow you to get a good catch. How to reel a fishing line onto a bobbin reel?
Unlike inertialess reels, winding onto a multiplier device will be much simpler and does not have any different options or methods. In its process, three basic rules must be observed:
- The fishing line is attached to the reel in the hole conceived by the design. In this case, it makes sense to use a knot that just does not untie and will firmly hold the end.
- The rings should overlap tightly. one to one. The fishing line should be tightened well and, turning the handle of the product, lay ring after ring.
- Subsequent layers of yarn should not cross each other. This consistent and even winding prevents tangling.
This is the whole process of winding fishing line. It is worth noting that it is important to pull the thread well so that it lies tightly on the spool and subsequently cannot cross and tangle.
Tie fishing line
- Thread the fishing line into the logger
- Then into the perforation holes located nearby
- We knit your usual fishing knot
- We start winding precisely controlling the tension of the fishing line

How many fishing lines to reel on a zergizka?
Zherlitsa is an effective device for catching predatory fish, for example, with its help you can catch a pike. Knowledge of the rules for its installation, including the amount of fishing line required, can provide a good result. Scaffold for the zherlitsa: how much do you need to wind?
- The amount of fishing line on the vents must exceed the depth of the reservoir in 3.5. 4.5 times.
- The length of the required fishing line varies depending on the bottom of the pond.
- If it is anomalous, there are a lot of snags and other “hindrances”, then the length of the fishing line should exceed the depth by no more than 2.5 maximum 3 times.
Such parameters of the forest wire limits the pike in its movements and does not allow it to entangle the zergelika in underwater vegetation. If the bottom is bad, then you should be prepared for the fact that the fish will be restless. She will actively confuse the fishing line, dive sharply into the depths. make candles, can wrap tackle around the pole, therefore, pull out the entire structure.
How to wind fishing line on a trimmer reel, mower, lawn mowing: video
A trimmer, mower or lawn mowing machine works the same way as a fishing rod with a thread. Only in a spinning rope is needed to throw the rod, and in the trimmer it is needed in order to cut the greens. How to wrap fishing line on a trimmer coil, mower, lawn mower? Here are the steps:
- Remove the spool from the reel box.
- On a coil with a single antennae there are notes in the form of pointing arrows. They show the side of the winding, you will need from 2 to 5 m of thread.
- For a trimmer head with two mustaches, 1.5 to 3 m will be needed. Winding the wire rope in the opposite direction of head rotation.
- The trimmer head with a gasoline rope refueling simply refills: correctly thread and lock the ends. The tool will automatically wind, you only need to turn it on.
