spooling of a multiplier

[Drew]

Hi,

The above advice is excellent, one thing that I would add.

Make sure that the person holding the reel of line keeps it in a horizontal position, this ensures that the line is transferred directly as it comes off the spool.

When spooling a Fixed Spool reel the spool should be held in a vertical position to stop line twist.

I hope this makes sense.

ive just made myself a home made spooling station.
2ft length of2x2 timber old butt off old spinning rod on one end, u shaped piece of plastic with grooves cut out of both sides with length of threaded bar
and 2 wing nuts to keep the line under tension. idea came when me and the enemy wernt speaking. tight lines.

There is a small tool available to take the old line off and to hold the new spool your mutiplier is clasped at the other end and you just wind it on. It also has a spring on both sides of the spool so that you can ajust the tension to suit you.

Put your reel on a rod and tie the line to the spool
Get someone to hold the spool or if you cant then put the spool in a bowl/bucket of water and reel (water makes it go on better)
Make sure it goes on quite tight but not too tight

good tip.
