Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
For a spincast reel, be sure to run line through the opening in the reel face before tying it to the spool, and screw the reel face back on before spooling the line. 4. Tie the line to the spool using an arbor knot. 5.Put a pen or pencil into the center of the supply spool and have an assistant place some tension on the spool as the line comes off. The line should feed off the top of the supply spool to avoid twist. Keep the line taut as you reel to ensure even line lay.. Place the supply spool of line on a table or the floor with the label facing up. Set the rod and reel on a table to make tying knots easier. Tip: If you're using braided line, be sure to add a layer of monofilament to the spinning reel spool as backing to prevent slippage.
