How Do I Line a Fishing Pole?

Lining a fishing pole correctly is crucial for successful fishing. Here's a step-by-step guide to line your fishing pole:

  1. Choose a line: Select a line that matches the rod's weight and the type of fishing you're doing.
  2. Strip and soak the line: Strip the line from the reel and soak it in water for 10-15 minutes to reduce memory.
  3. Thread the line through the rod: Start with the tip guide and work your way towards the reel, passing the line through each guide.
  4. Tie the line to the reel: Use a knot such as the arbor knot or the double uni knot to securely attach the line to the reel spool.
  5. Fill the reel: Wind the line onto the reel, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  6. Tie on the leader: Attach a leader to the end of the line using a surgeon's knot or a clinch knot. The leader provides flexibility and protects the main line from abrasion.
  7. Tie on the lure or bait: Choose a lure or bait that matches your target species and presentation.
