For proper and fruitful fishing, all gear must be properly prepared. Every modern fisherman has a reel in his arsenal, which greatly facilitates his life during forced transitions during fishing and is an integral part of the equipment.
Naturally, in winter, this device is almost never used and, therefore, is put into a long box until the onset of the open water fishing season. During storage, the fishing line ages and loses its properties. Experienced anglers update it every season. Then the question arises, how to tie the line to the reel. This will be discussed in this article, but first we describe the device and types of coils.
Varieties of Coils
Fundamentally distinguish two types of coils: inertial and inertialess. The former are mainly used for primitive float equipment and fly fishing rods. The second type of coils is the most common and is used everywhere. He gained his popularity due to the design, which allows you to make long casts and pretty quickly choose a fishing line to his bobbin.
Inertialess coil design
The main components of the coil:
- The case in which gears, bearings, wings, shafts and other related parts are installed.
- The rotor, which is a movable part, is directly attached to it by the mechanism of the logger.
- Spool - a fixed element in which a stock of fishing line is stored.
- Friction clutches that allow you to extinguish powerful jerks of fish, thereby saving the line from the cliff.
- Handle transmitting rotational movement of the hand to the mechanisms of the coil.
Methods of winding fishing line on a reel
There are three main ways of winding fishing line on a reel:
- straight;
- using winding;
- with lining.
Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, so they are usually used in individual cases.
Direct winding fishing line on a reel
If the rod is the simplest, and the reel is one of the cheapest, then in this case the bobbin capacity does not exceed 50-60 meters. Since the length of the fishing line on average is 100 meters, it fills such a bobbin in full.
Correct filling of the bobbin is considered when 1-1.5 millimeters remain from the edge of the side to the border of the wound fishing line. This allows you to make the most distant casts. The line under a slight interference is wound on a bobbin. How to tie fishing line to the reel with this method?
At the end of the fishing line, a loop with a double or single knot is made. Further, a large free loop of the main fishing line is inserted into this loop, which is put on the bobbin. It turns out a kind of self-tightening clamp.
The disadvantage of this method is that when the volume of the spool is greater than that of the existing fishing line, a side will inevitably form at the end of the spool. It will prevent long casts. And if you get the fishing line in the same volume as the bobbin, then this will make this method quite expensive. Since a meter of fishing line costs good money, and it will practically not be used.
Lining winding reel with lining
The backing layer on the base of the spool will help to fix the drawback of the first method. For this, a layer of tape or tape is wound. This measure reduces spool volume.
The disadvantage of this method is that the fishing line, wound under pressure, deforms the layer of electrical tape, and over time, the glue penetrates into the main layer of the fishing line and thereby glues the coils and prevents unwinding.
Winding fishing line with reel
How to tie a fishing line to a reel to reduce the side without flaws? The solution to this difficult problem came to us from America. In the original, it sounds like backing, and our fishermen-athletes called it winding.
The essence of this method is to get the missing layer of fishing line cheaper. Since the lowest layer of forests is practically not used, then it can be replaced relatively cheap.
How to wrap fishing line to the reel with backing? This happens in several stages. First, the main work line or braided thread is wound. Further, she is associated with fishing line intended for the dobro. The volume of the fishing line is selected taking into account the millimeter thickness to the edge of the spool.
The second step is to rewind the resulting volume onto the working spool. This allows you to leave the ballast layer of fishing line at the base, where it is practically not used.
Frequently Asked Questions for Beginner Spinning Players
When winding fishing line on a bobbin, beginners have many problems. The very first one is how to tie a fishing line to a reel without any help. Since the fishing line should be laid evenly and layer by layer, it is necessary to do this under slight tension. To do this, a piece of rag is suitable, in which you can hold the fishing line with your fingers while winding.
After winding, the following question arises: "How to attach the fishing line to the reel in order to prevent its involuntary unwinding?" To solve this problem, a carabiner and clerical gum are suitable. The carabiner is attached to the free end and is attached to the leg of the coil with a rubber band.
How to knit fishing line to a reel with a latch and can this be done?
Some types of spools have a red flag - retainer. You can not attach to it if you plan to fix the fishing line to the accuracy of the casting length. This is one of the grossest mistakes of beginner anglers.
