Baitcaster line help

Featured Replies

Ok I have been fishing for a few years and never  bought a bc reel. I finally decided to buy one and I am stumped. I have no idea how to put line on this thing. I feel retarded. Im used to spinning reels so this is really new to me. I got a Daiwa Procaster Tournament 100BL. The instructions are vague.

Welcome aboard!

There is an eye on the front of the reel (line guide) that moves the line from side to side when you retrieve. Run the line completely through the reel, inside the frame and out the back. If your ran your line over the top of the spool, run the line under the spool and completely out the front. Create enough slack so you can work with a complete loop that is now around your spool.

Tie an Arbor Knot, tighten and trim:

Here is another picture of what you are trying to accomplish, but remember to start the line through the line guide:
