admin7412 For a fishing enthusiast, the choice of a fishing reel should not be made at random. You also need to ensure that you fill this accessory to fish properly. For example, there are a few points to consider when filling a casting reel. This way you can enjoy a great day of fishing.
Choosing the right line for your fishing reel
It is important to choose the right line for your casting reel. First of all, you can opt for nylon, which can guarantee you flexibility on the line. You will then have less vibration on the rod and the fish won’t get unhooked. There is also braided line, which can guarantee you a strong line. This is due to the strength of the line. In addition, braid offers more sensitivity while being less elastic. The last option is fluorocarbon line, which is the closest to nylon, but is less elastic.
Materials needed to fill the reel correctly
First of all, you need a casting reel and a fishing line. The diameter of the latter must be appropriate for the fishing technique you wish to use. You will also need a nail cutter to cut the knots when you have tightened them. A nylon backing is also needed if you decide to use a braided line. The casting rod is perfect for efficient fishing. Indeed, it will be easier to cast the lures with this type of rod. You can then proceed to filling the reel after checking all these elements.
Filling the reel itself
It is important to position your casting reel correctly on the rod to ensure that it is filled. Pass the line through the rings, starting at the tip rings. You can then pass the line through the line guide before attaching it to the spool. Two simple knots should then be made, one of which passes over the other. The knot should sit tightly on the spool without any excess. It is important to attach the nylon backing to the spool first if you have a braided line. Then wind the line onto the reel. Make sure the line is 2 mm from the top of the spool to stop filling the reel and cut the line.
Tying the right knot
Filling a casting reel always ends with a neat knot. You can then tie an overhand knot, which is a classic method. This type of knot consists of tying two half-knots in opposite directions. Alternatively, there is also the albright knot which allows you to tie a leader. It is important to make the spiral well for this option. Besides, you will make between 6 to 8 turns for the forward direction and the same number of turns for the reverse direction. The most important thing is that the knot is well tied before you cast the line.
