Debo! Great stuff man! Love the hot water trick. I always throw braid to floro leader on my spinning reel. We were talking about the B-Lat video on straight floro. It was on the Scott Martin Channel. I’ll drop the link. I would love a video on your favorite flipping set up. Thanks! kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3mYy6N7qq7Lfag.html

@Oliver Landry thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
As someone getting back into fishing after 23yrs, this was very helpful! Thanks for the beginners video on spooling.
I'm glad u addressed the fact wether the spool matches the direction of your reel spin you're gonna get line twist. I've watched multiple videos where some say they need to match some say they need to be opposite and I was still getting line twist and really losing it. I haven't really eliminated but your video made me realize I'm not losing my freaking mind. Thank u
I’m new to fishing and I’m learning from KZread. I spent 2 hours trying to spool my spinning reel based on what others were saying the line should do. I always had it twisting like you showed and I couldn’t understand why, given I was following the directions. Just wanted to say thank you for the video, it’s the best on KZread, I’ve watched all of them.

Same with my line!
Best spooling how-too vid I've seen. I watched a lot of them while doing my spooling vid and 99.9% tell you to spool your line without twists. Amazing how even the seasoned pros don't understand how line acts when going on or coming off a stationary spool. +1 subscriber. Look forward to watching your other vids.
Thank you. I found the exact same results after 30 plus years, and it was comforting to know that all the different methods don't limit twist, they help in an attempt to minimize it. If you have a boat, let all the line off of the spool behind the boat, then reel it in. Twist gone. No boat, send your son down the street on his bike with the line till the spool is empty, let it rest for 5 minute, then put pressure on the line with a wet sponge to add tension, while adding lubrication and not burning your finger tips.
I just got into fishing a year ago(started with a spin wheel) and this video was great. Especially the spooling and the difference between types of line. Gonna have to try braided with a liter
I just starting fishing and have been watching lots of your videos to learn. I was running into so many problems with the line nesting and unspooling. I managed to get it figured out but this helped me to understand why and how to correct it. Thanks Debo!

I have used spinning reels whole life until last yr. I thought I had it figured out in spoiling. But you gave some tips i have never thought of. I setup the spool to unwind over the top with the line thru all the guides and have rod tip about 10' from spool. Great video thanks for the tips.

def appreciate refresher videos on stuff like spooling, as well as hearing benefits of different line choices. I've been doing the same for a number of years now myself, and love the braid to flouro leader choice for longevity of the line, castability, and sensitivity. good stuff Debo!

This guy knows how to teach and is thorough. Thank you!!! I listened to some other videos before yours and spooled the line around my reel wrong….what a mess. I’m gonna try again using your instructions. Thank you!!
Thanks for the video. Always gives pleasure to help beginners. I just did a reel myself tonight. I started out coming off Clockwise and when I can feel a bit of line twist, I flip the spool over. Same result as yours. One thing that I do is this. When in the boat, and not catching fish, which is usual for myself, I'll put on a 1 ounce or heavier weight. Cast it out and leave the bail arm open, drive the boat slowly until I'm spooled out. Then slowly reel back in. Does this help, yes it does to a decent extent. But this doesn't help if you're not in a boat. A few Moons back, I bought a cheap spooler from EBay. Suction cup base which goes onto the kitchen counter top. Put the spool on and reel in Clockwise. It does work decent for some reason. One rule that I follow, with a spinning reel, I don't use more than 10 lb test with Mono. Fluoro, you can get by with 12 lb test. Hybrid, it depends on the brand. Yozuri is decent. One Hybrid line, Fluoro coated that I use now that I found it is, P Line. I'll swear by it any day. On more than one occasion, my supervisor at Scambella's gave me a talking to for selling out all of our P Line to customers and then requesting another large order, when apparently, I was supposed to be selling people the High End Line. Hahahaha, silly me.
Hands down, most informative video ever. I don't know if you did any editing but damn dude, you talked the entire time. No dead space...just serious information and great tips for us rookies. Thank you...
I was a reel in closer of the bail until I started noticing you (and Nate Marling) close the bail manually. Worked on turning it into a habit as it seemed a smoother and easier technique, but now understanding the benefits why is so much more useful. Thanks for yet another useful tip!
Debo! This video and all others you have not only teaches me new things but saves the day! You rock dude. Keep em’ coming. Cheers!
Great tips! You know you've received good information when it changes your current behavior over a long period of time. I will be placing my spool under hot water now as a rule. Thanks again for all the great content.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Always always trying to learn something new - Stretching and heating the mono. Love it.
Thanks for this video - I'm an amateur and have learned 5 helpful items in this video. Most appreciated is how concise this info is. Cheers.
Very interesting. After not having fished for 30 years I tried fishing on a canoe trip in 2021 and everything that you described in your video happened to me. Coiled line, line tangled, line wrapped around the reel. It was very frustrating. I ended up just canoeing and forgeting about the fishing. I hope to have better understanding of fishing line manipulation this year. Thanks for the great information.
I spool my spinning reels like my bait casters. However, instead of the line coming from the top I bring it from the bottom. Mark Zona "In the zone tip" from a few years ago. You are absolutely correct about line conditioner and hot water. 👍👍👍

Seems like there are a ton of different ways people make it work. Yep, conditioner and hot water is money!
I grew up next to a bait shop in rural Pennsylvania. The owner always would load up new line on his reels as you suggested, then have someone (sometimes me) run it out 50-100 yards with nothing attached to the line. He would then reel it in at a moderate speed while pinching the line between his fingers. He would do this 2-3 times, until the line was neutral. Seemed to work great. Thanks for the video!
Wow! What an amazing video! This one is one of your bests for sure!! It doesnt matter your skill level with spinning reels; if you use a spinning reel you NEED to watch this. Lots of great helpful tips in here. Thanks for continuing to make such good quality structured videos!

Yo tambien. Me enojo 😡.
Just bought the Piscifun Reel spooler and it works great, no issues at all, first time spooling my own reel.
That water trick is pure GENIUS! Also I used braid on 3 of my 4 combos and I got lazy after a while with leader and have been tying straight braid. So far I have not found issues with fish being skittish due to seeing the line, but I also fish in chocolate milk water down here in the bayous of Louisiana and that might play a part in it. Good stuff man.

You cracked me up about the scented soap! Thanks for doing this video. I haven't fished for over 20 years, but want to again soon. My ex-husband was the one with the knowledge on how to do these things. Now I can learn for myself.
You're awesome!. Thanks for the straight forward tips, especially the tip for running warm water onto the spool for making the memory of the line to match the spool! Hopefully I'll also try using braid 😁👍
I have been using the KVD Line and Lure for a couple of years and it works really well. I usually put it on the night before i go fishing. Then I put some more on there after I get back. I also started using a mono backing with braid and a leader on my spinning reels a few years ago.👊👍

My Father. After putting line on a bait caster reel or a Spin caster using mono. Would put a old leather belt around a tree limb or corner post in the back yard and attach the line to a hole in the belt and walk the line out. Then put extra drag on. Stretch the line tight and reel the 40 to 50 yards back in a couple of times on each rod and reel he put new line on. Just half the line on the reel. It work wonders. He would also spray the line with line magic. Just that stretching of the line made casting alot easier when going fishing. No tangles no twist. Keep up the great video's and important info. Shawn

Thank you man! The only guys I've seen admit that it's always going to twist - which is my experience. Switching to braid now.
Good tips, Debo, especially on the proper closing of the bail. I used to screw up my line all the time as a kid by closing it by cranking the handle. Now I can spend more time feeshing, and less time untangling bird’s nests.

What great tips! New to spinning reels thanks for making it understandable and easy! Great video.
great video. as an arborist, i tie a running bowline daily and that became my knot to tie when respooling my rods. a non cinching knot that gets tighter the more weight on it and its not bulky(also can untie no matter how tight it gets but that doesnt matter with the fishing line lol). but i never let my spools get that low to where the knot might hinder me anyway. just a matter of it being a confidence knot i guess. and i love the alberto knot, super easy and if you loop your fluoro leader, and wrap with your braid, you can visually see how good of a knot it will be

Thanks again DEBO. It's that dead-o-winter time here in Ohio too. Edges of lakes have unsafe ice. Rivers and creeks are running high and muddy. It's time to either drive south for some Florida feeshing, or get organized for early springtime. (Maybe I'll do both?) I'm gonna have a few feeshing buddies come over to the garage, have a few beers, put new line on our reels and start making some plans for 2020 river trips. I find that (when possible) having another human hold some tension on the spool while putting new line on is a big help. What I learned today: 1- Switch some of my reels to braided line. I've resisted making that change so far because I'm not crazy about tying leaders on, but it's time to give it a try. 2- Other guys' wives buy weird, smelly soaps too. (Currently, my wife has some pear scented goo in the pump bottle in our bathroom) 3- Hot H2O on new monofilament might help erase the old memory. It's certainly worth a try. Thanks for all of your excellent video! Spring *is* coming, brother.....

Yes, a beer and fishing talk sounds great. Agreed...I just want regular soap! 😂
I use one of those spooling stations that spin as you spool the reel, it does help with the initial spooling, but I think the nature of spinning reels will induce some line twist as they are used. Once you cast out, and start reeling in, the line that's out doesn't twist nearly as much in the same direction as line going back on the spool, but the incident is so small, that hundreds of cast can be made before line twist becomes an issue. I'm sure the use of barrel swivels helps a small amount, when they aren't clogged with algae, haha. I prefer braid, and I like straight braid because most of the waters I fish usually have some tint to them, but when the water is abnormally clear, or when I fish for stocked trout, I then use a mono or copolymer leader on my spinning reels.

Agreed. The mechanics of a spinning reel are bound to introduce line twist at some point. That's why I like the braid. I seem to have very little issues with twist on most lures. Thanks for watching, Russell!

Thank you so much for mentioning the line roller . I've watched quite a few videos and no one included that step.
After spooling your line, take the rod to the lake. Place the reel into the “release” position and put the end of the line into the lake. Move boat forward, letting the water tension completely drag the line off the reel. Do not have a lure or anything on the line. As you troll down the lake, tension from the water, onto the line, will get the twists out of the line. Reel the line back in, with some tension. All done.
Thank you so much for this excellent video.
Thanks for the new ideas! Tight lines!

The best way I've found to avoid getting a a bird's nest and having line pop off is take the biggest sinker you have, or even go buy one that's quite large and go to a river, lake, field, dirt road doesn't matter. Cast it as far as you possibly can a couple times. The line then sits on the reel properly and you'll never have a issue again with line messing up
I'm new to fishing and learning from KZread. Enjoying the video
I went to braid on my spinning reel this past season (but kinda late). I think I went a little TOO LOW on the lb test though. I might replace my 10lb with 15/20lb and a 10lb/12lb mono or fluoro leader. I am not a big finesse fisherman, but I want to learn a lot more and get good at it this year for times when they just don't want to bite anything else. Good vid dude!

I usually try to have someone hold tension on the spool of line as I’m spooning my reel and keep tension on the line as it goes into the reel. It works pretty well, but you can’t always do that. The hot water trick is pretty handy too. Or just spool 10-15 cranks of mono and go to braid haha.
