How to tie a braided fishing reel?

Tying a braided fishing reel can be a bit trickier than tying a traditional fishing reel, but with a few simple steps, you can easily learn how to do it correctly.

Here’s:

Step 1: Begin by threading the braided line through the guide on the fishing rod. Make sure there is enough line to reach the reel.

Step 2: Tie a simple knot at the end of the braided line. This knot will prevent the line from slipping through the spool.

Step 3: Open the bail on the reel, and begin wrapping the line around the spool. Make sure the braided line is pressed tightly against itself, and avoid overlapping the line as you wrap it around the spool.

Step 4: When you reach the end of the spool, tie another simple knot. This knot will keep the braided line from slipping off the spool.

Step 5: Close the bail on the reel, and begin reeling in the line. Test the line to make sure it is secure and won’t slip off the spool.

One thing to keep in mind when tying a braided fishing reel is that it’s important to use a knot that won’t slip. Braided line is very slick, and standard knots may not hold as well as they would with a traditional fishing line.

One popular knot for tying a braided fishing reel is the Palomar knot. This knot is strong and simple to tie, making it a great choice for anglers of all levels.

To tie a Palomar knot, double the braided line and pass it through the eye of the hook. Tie a loose overhand knot with the doubled line, and then feed the hook back through the loop of the overhand knot. Wet the knot to lubricate it, and then pull the line tight.

With a little practice, tying a braided fishing reel will become second nature. Just remember to use a strong knot and keep the line tight against the spool, and you’ll be ready for a day of successful fishing on the water.
