Putting line on a spinning reel correctly is essential for ensuring smooth, tangle-free casts and retrieves. The best way to do this involves using a line winder or arbor knot, which helps distribute the line evenly across the reel’s spool.
Using a line winder is the most efficient and precise method. Simply attach the line to the winder and then insert the reel’s spool into the winder’s arbor. Turn the handle to wind the line onto the spool, taking care to keep the line taut and free from twists or knots.
