How to Spool a Baitcast Low Profile Reel
- 1). Combine the low profile baitcast reel with a baitcast rod. These rods have pieces of plastic that hang below the rod handle and are shaped like triggers. Make sure the rod and reel combination feels comfortable and well balanced when you hold it.
- 2). Pass the fishing line through the rod tip, and then through the remainder of the line guides on the rod.
- 3). Insert the line into the line guide on the front of the reel and push it through.
- 4). Wrap the fishing line around the spool of the baitcast reel two times. Tie a knot in the line so it is tight on the reel spool.
- 5). Turn the reel handle clockwise to reel in line and add it to the spool. Continue reeling until the line is about a quarter-inch below the rim of the spool.
- 6). Grab a pair of scissors and cut the line so 20 inches of it hangs beyond the tip of the rod.
