Spooling a Baitcaster: Spooling a baitcaster reel correctly is essential for preventing line twists, tangles, and other casting issues. Begin by threading the line through the rod's guides and securing it to the spool using an arbor knot. Apply slight tension to the line as you wind it onto the spool, making sure the line lays evenly and tightly. Proper spooling helps minimize backlash and ensures smooth casting and retrieval. Regularly checking the line for wear and re-spooling when necessary maintains optimal fishing performance.
