Reversing braided line

Featured Replies

You just have to transfer the line from one spool to another an odd number of times. If you have a spare spool for your reel, pop off the full spool, and spool up the spare after putting it on your reel.

If you don't have a spare, don't just strip off the line and switch ends, you'll end up with a big knot. Take an empty line spool, attach a hand drill, strip off the line. You'll then have to transfer the line once more before attaching it back to your reel. You can even use 2 empty reels instead of an empty spool that used to have new line on it if you have it.

I use a couple of my old decommissioned baitcasters specifically for this purpose. Works like this:

1. Tie line to old baitcaster #1.

2. Reel line on to old baitcaster #1.

3. Tie line to old baitcaster #2.

4. Reel line on to old baitcaster #2.

5. Tie line on to good reel

6. Reel line on to good reel.
