Baitcast Rod & Reel Assembly- Ready to Go Fishing

Have any of you ever had a really hectic day and can only think, “I wish I was doing something relaxing, like fishing.” It happens all the time, especially to those who love interacting in the outdoors. For someone who has a moment where they “wish they were fishing” but does not know how, that is about to change. This illustrated how to is going to explain, step by step, how to properly assemble and rig a bass fishing rod, reel, line, and lure.

Screw reel in reel seat.

Feed the line through the rod tip, continue feeding through the rest of the eyes.

Feed the line through the line guide on the reel.

Feed line through 2 spool holes, then tie knot.

Cut the excess line from the knot.

Reel the line in while holding the line taut to prevent clutter.

Stop reeling once the spool is 3/4 full.

Feed line through eye and pinch it with about 3 inches towards the end.

Twist the pinched line to start the knot.

Run line through bottom loop (first loop) then back through the top loop (second loop) then pull both ends of line for the tie.

Tighten the knot and clip the excess line, but leave a little to spare.

Clamp the hook through the hook clip for safety, so the hook has less possibility of hooking stuff through contact.
