How To string a Fishing Pole???

Question

I have tried numerous ways to string my $120 pole and it keeps getting tangled after the first couple of casts, I even got it strung at Gander Mt. but after a week it all got tangled so I got some really nice braided line and I dont want to srew it up too!!! HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

If Gander Mountain did it for you. It's probably you. You might be casting to hard. I have cheaper rod's and reels that you have to cast a little harder to get the lure out there. I also have a $200 Fenwick with a $100 flueger reel. You don't  have to cast that very hard and if you do cast it hard, you will get tangled up.

Answer 2

go to a bait shop and have them do it for u

Answer 3

There is an adjustment on the reel itself. The adjustment puts tension on the reel so it doesn`t spool out to fast and backlash and become all tangled on the reel. Turn this k**b until the line with a weight does not spool out when you take your thumb off the line. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

use the wrap method

Answer 5

What type of rod is it? Spinning rod (guides or hoops down) or casting rod (guides - hoops up)?

What type of reel?

Need some more info to help you out...

Answer 6

Get rid of the reel, tie the hook on one end of the line and tie the other end of a shorter line to the top of the pole.  You won't cast as far, but it should stop the tangles.
