What line do you put on a fishing reel?

Casting reels should be between an eighth of an inch from the top and all the way to the top. If you get too much line on them, you’ll get a weird sound when you cast. Spinning reels should be all the way full, right to the top. If you get too much line on them, the line will jump off the spool in coils.

Why does my fishing line unravel?

You Put Too Much or Too Heavy of Line on Your Spool The biggest culprit for why your fishing line unravels and falls off the spool is there simply isn’t enough space for it in the first place. If you overfill your spool, your fishing line won’t stay as tight and will unravel on its own.

How do I keep my fishing line tight?

Put the spool of line on the floor, label up. Run the line through the guides on the rod to the reel with the bail open and tie it tightly to the spool. If you use a regular overhand square knot, pass the end through twice instead of just once – it will help keep the line tight on the spool. Close the bail.
