How to Spool a Baitcaster Professionally – Keep on Practicing
Many anglers that until now doesn’t have the idea on how to spool a baitcaster? They just fish and spool the way they know, but failed to catch bigger or numbers of basses. Just like me when I was a child, many times I failed because of some reasons, my line twisted and sometimes when I almost caught bigger bass, and suddenly the line gave up.
That was very disgusting. Until I met an experienced fisherman in our place, who taught me many techniques about fishing and most especially about spooling. A baitcaster is a small tool built with a motor that uses electricity and a rotating shaft which fills a spool by rotating the fishing line.
However, this device is best for those experienced anglers as this requires enough control and mastery. With this tool, the spool revolves as soon as you released the line, which means the activeness needs to have enough strength to roll the reel.
Things that You Will Need
No doubt you will need the right gears and equipment to catch the big fish.
Things To Remember
This reminder is for all anglers who goes fishing regularly. Whether it would be a professional but most especially those are yet beginning to fish. Those who have less experience in spooling. Before you start re-spooling your reel, think of these things first.
1. Choosing a Line
This is the most important here, having the best choice in selecting a line will be your last consideration which will make your spool perform better while fishing. Having the best quality will make your casting find fewer problems.
It also depends on what kind of reel you will be using your recovery pace is always expected if the reel you’re using reel is not perfectly spooled. The perfectly loaded reel is desirable. If you're doing it yourself, these tips will surely help you to be successful in loading your reel.
2. Twisted Line
In spooling your reel must be horizontal to avoid twisting. When it is done that way, the line just goes the perfect way you wanted. But, while you are at home and you try to spool on your own you no choice but to do it in a round motion.
This way you can expect a more twisted line. However, you can also avoid this situation by using a pen or anything that could get through its holes in the spool. Much better if you have someone who could lend you a hand in doing the process.
3. Line Tension
A line tension is essential while catching a bass. Because pressure acts as a break while fishing as well. Having a tension is also an assurance that your line was adequately set on the reel while a large bass pulls on it would be enough for you to drag your line and it won’t get pulled.
The best style in changing a tension is by holding your rod while losing the tension then wait until your lure drops slowly. If you want a break, you can find two kinds of a braking machine which is built on your reel.
But if you choose an expensive reel then you go for the centrifugal brake. This kind of brake is easy. All you have to do is to adjust it according to what you want. Approach the side sheet with a lever or rotate to get within and adjust it. While for a magnetic brake, it is imperative to have easy access.
4. Manual Spooling
Spooling can also be done manually, but you also need somebody to do it. Here are the steps you need to follow:
