It might seem like tying the line to a spinning reel is easy. But if the knot is executed incorrectly, there is a great possibility of "shooting" when the forest is completely derailed from the spool and, as a result, the loss of expensive bait.
The ability to properly tie the line to the spool is an elementary indicator of the professionalism of an angler. At first glance, this activity does not require any extraordinary skills, but not everyone can tie a fishing line to the "inertia". Many beginners learn to knit power knots, although this is not at all necessary for a high-quality binding.
How not to do
The main misconception is that tying the line should be done with the most complex knot possible. In fact, the line tied to the spool should be simply and securely fixed, or it can have a one-way movement: it should be fixed if the spool rotates in the direction of winding, and be free in the opposite direction of rotation. There is a separate category of novice fishermen who tend to tie the line, randomly winding 5-10 turns, which is why a "beard" appears at the root of the reel and the line is laid unevenly. In this case, there is often an unnecessary supply of thread, so that "shooting" does not occur if it suddenly ends.
Double loop knot
One of the easiest ways to tie a line to a spinning reel spool is to tie a double loop. To do this, the end of the line should be wrapped around the thread itself, thus making the usual noose or "lasso". It is not bad if you skip the loop not once, but two or three times when knitting a stranglehold.
In the loop formed by the noose, you should again stretch the fishing line, and already this ring should be thrown over the spool. Excess fishing line must be trimmed with scissors. This ensures excellent locking on one side and free play in opposite rotation. This bandage should be checked at the beginning of the winding of the line, and if it slips, the loop just needs to be turned over.
Choke with knot stopper
Another easy way to tie the line to a spinning reel is to use a stopper knot. The thread should be wrapped around the spool, then pass the end under the part of it that comes from the bobbin, and tie a regular knot on it with several twists. This knot does not need to be tightened immediately.
Next, at the free end of the fishing line, you need to tie another simple knot, and pull the loose loop to it as quickly as possible. The fishing line must be well moistened and tightened thoroughly on the spool, then cut off the remaining end with scissors and wind it. This type of binding provides a tight hold and will not loosen over time.
