Ditto on age - just starting again after 30 yrs! Brilliant video!

The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight kzread.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

Instead of using an empty bog roll to put your old line on, I use a bit of old wood or twig and in that way you can get three or four spools worth of line on.

Great tutorial as always 👍🏽 i picked up some 15lb camo subsonik today i will be watching this again when i respool my reels later in the week.

Excellent - nice and easy to follow.....thank you

1st saw this method of removing the line from What a load of Carp a fair few years back, Great idea!

Very helpful video , you make it look to easy. Love your content keep up the good work 👏

Great idea to use a drill to strip the spools, will be trying that for sure👍🏻

I got to say the bulk line idea is really good value for money deafly going to give it a go!!!!

Great tutorial 👍

I use Shimano Technium 0.25 and it's brilliant. Expensive but totally worth it :)

Love the drill tip sent hours pulling line off spools

Excellent Excellent informative video. Crystal clear. Guys like me like Guys like you. Thank you.

I'm now on the Sonik Supersonik Clear as I think there is more Abbrasion resistance for this, compared to the Subsonik Clear.

Would that insurgent 5000 be a good match for a xtractor 10 ft

Do we need to soak braided line?

The loop is called a perfection loop

I do exactly same de spooling my reels, but spooling them up when attaching new line to reel l, instead of a knot I use a small piece of tape and no knot at all... I've today ordered some SubSonik in Camo 🎣🎣

Great vid and helpful tips, but, less fishing, more grass cutting 😉.. 😂 Tight lines! 👌

5:40 I've had mono dry out and shrink on the spool and disfigured the spool doing this 🤔

Ever tried wrap sticks

Jhst spooled up 3 rods with the camo 18lb. Off for a 72 hours next Saturday il let you know how i get on haha

Shimano Technium all day long Joe. 5kg / 11lb version is 0.22mm. It's pricy but it's the best IMHO.

A little pricey. But definitely great line. I like it a lot.

Say if you don't want to "re-spool" your reels but use the back of the line and reverse it, if you the same as you've just done it, and would you need to soak the line again if its already been on the spool?

@davidhopkins9021

Personally I wouldn't do that but yes soak as well

Mate do one on fluorocarbon and the small 200m spools on a big pit. So you've got to back it then put say a 200m kontour on

If you save your old empty spools. I take a drill bit that fits snug in the center hole. And attach to my drill. Similar to this.

Rapala Line Remover, or Berkley Line Stripper

I always buy line based on diameter not break strength.

Anyone recommend a decent line to cover 3 reels at a decent price , not daft money , had some real bad issues recently with new line coming off the spool and causing tangles etc ...maybe was to cheap but was avid carp outline in camo , found it horrendous so need some decent recommendations please ... ..was looking at soniks subsonik mono ????

All that hard work and you nearly lost your rod and reel in the lake 🤣 couple of good tips there though

The slip knot !

Hi

I do the same but use tape instead of a knot

…bog roll! 🤣🤣🤣 For the more refined amongst us….aka toilet roll…ops, that reminds me…I’ve gotta use the shitta! 💩🚽 👍🏻

State of that lawn ffs.

I just tape the end of line to the reel then there isn’t a knot bulge in the line

Lasso knot

Despool: stanley knife!

Spool off. Do a Morris dance with line attached to belt. Reload with wife holding new line. Job done. Shall I make a video........might be boring.

Soak the line for 24 hours to allow it to absord water and expand? What boll***s is that! 😂😂😂😂 Mono line is made of nylon, its waterproof! Thats why it floats and why we make waterproof clothing out of nylon!
