 :)when respooling line on a spinning reel.which way do you guys run the line off of the spool so as not to get it on the reel backwards and have the line walk off the reel?

I like the trilene knot for mono and palomar for super-lines . I've seen the trilene slip on the slicker super lines.

g3, I start with the spool on the ground with the label up and start reeling while holding the line fairly tight with your other hand near the first guide above the reel. After a dozen or so turns stop reeling and drop the rod tip down near the spool of line and see if the line twists. If it twists turn the spool over and continue reeling, then write the word "down" on the label of the spool for next time.

With a baitcaster.................straight off the spool
with spinning.............the line has to come off the spool  the same direction as the bail is spinning.  most times its with the label side of the spool on the bottom, at least with Shimamo reels

You're all gonna  think I'm nuts :P

I tinker around with stuff....I built a linewinder after becoming tired with poorly spooled line. It works fine and has for almost 15 years.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

An older guy taught me how to tie hooks on using the knot the hook co. use when they package them snelled.I tie them straight to my line.I don't think I know hardly anybody who knows how to tie it,or maybe they choose not to use it.It's an awesome knot,has 6-7 wraps around the shank.Looks professional too!

My favorite knot is the polamar.  It's the easiest knot for me to tie and the quickest.  I use the polamar on all lures except my itsy bitsy ice jigs.

never heard of a trilene knot. I will have to learn that one.  RG you should make a booklet about your knots... I didn't know that there were so many

buy some trilene line and it has a little booklet with it on how to tie it.

I like it for everything except crankbaits, and on crankbaits I like rapala knot.
