Happy New Year! I got a front row seat for some good huge fireworks even though Arizona only allows the wimpy sparklers, shower fountains that don’t go higher ten feet and smoke bombs. My 2nd floor apartment balcony faces a huge resort that has a permit for the big fireworks
Been watching your videos for a few years. As a life time bass fisherman I respect you for being a teacher of the basics and showing how fishing really is. A+ for you teaching etiquette (throw away your trash, leave your spot better then you found it, respect the fish) . Keep up the great work!!
I enjoy your videos and keeping our parks clean I recycle a lot you can recycle fishing line I take mine to Bass Pro they send it to the recycling center. Thanks for stress keeping our fisheries clean.
FYI also when spooling a baitcaster it is important to have the line winder in the absolute middle and the line tied also in the middle. On most higher quality baitcasters there is a groove in the middle of the spool. This will almost always assure that you have an even wind every time, no need for using your thumb to balance an unbalanced spool wind. Thanks for doing your vids, keep up the great work.

Beautiful video, Congratulations. *HAPPY NEW YEAR!* Hug!!!👍🎣🐠
The whole "label down" tip is simple genius. So many (too many) people try to explain putting line on to a reel in over-complicated and too long ways. Happy New Year, Alex!
Great educational video Alex!! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks with us. I will remember that a baitcaster has something through the hole and a spinning reel is label down, which is how I learned how to do it. Thank you for always keeping it realistic Alex... I truly appreciate this video!!
Just put line on my bait caster now to move to the spinning reel! Thanks for the tips.. happy new year and hope everyone has an awesome 2020 fishing season
This is the first video I've watched in 2020, Happy New Year Dewders!!!! I have a 7-8" 4"x4" block of wood I drilled a screw into the end to despool line. Just tape the tag end to the middle of a flat side, put the screw into a power drill and run it. The line slips right off afterwards, works for all types of line. Cheers!
In Anchorage Alaska they put out pvc pipe line disposal tubes along Ship Creek to keep the line out of the river and off the ground. That being said its too bad the a-holes who throw it on the ground here in the south aren't the ones getting tangled in it and having a bad day.On the bright side though, I just bought a new reel for trout fishing so this video is right on time.
Happy New Year, Alex! I have put line on many a spinning reel, most likely all in the wrong way but I somehow managed. Now that I am a subscriber on Realistic Fishing, I can watch somebody do it who knows how. Your way is so much better and simpler than some of the other methods I've seen and doesn't require any fancy devices.
Another great informative video. I like the idea of putting that line under the sticky label. I have been using rubber bands to keep the line secure, now I can save the rubber bands for my small tackle utility boxes when the latches wear out.
Thats awesome that you found a combo for 10 bucks! This past weekend I did my own 25$ fishing challenge for the first time via a giftcard given to me. I was lucky enough to find a combo on clearance for 14.99 with the original price of 69.99 so now i can finally fish with 2 rods. Always looking for the deals and trying to never pay full price for fishing supplies. Thanks for the spooling tips and btw i tried out that Omniflex line and im saving about 12$ a spool and getting more line as well! Thanks again for another great video Alex!
I know it’s random but does anyone else just love when you go to spool a reel and you not sure how much line is on a spool but when you’re done you have the perfect amount on the spool to fill the reel all the way as when you cut it you have completely spooked the reel all the way😁
I appreciate this video! I always have a heck of a time tying on new line on my open reel. I wouldn’t mind note basic videos for us newer fishermen! Thanks again!
I have tried all kinds of ways to take the line off a spool. However, I have fallen back on your method. It's even better than using a spike and an electric drill. I have used your method for respooling for most of my life. However, last year I spent about $9.95 for tool that clamps to the rod and holds the spool while replacing the line on a baitcaster. The thing is quite ingenious in that it fits a large number of rods and a large number of different widths of line spools. Once one gets old and starts losing coordination, this little tool works extremely well. It's mostly plastic with a single steel spring. 🤯🤪🎣😉 I got it on Amazon.
Then the hot water is for after you put your line on the reel. Run it under hot water if it's monofilament as hot water will change the line memory from the size of circle spool it sits on to the circle size of the spools reel size.
lmao, I JUST found out about the COPPA stuff and now your new intro finally makes sense. Everyone is freaking out and you just drop some genius by straight up stating that your videos are not intended for for Children.
I could drink cheap beer and talk fishing all day homie. Good tips for sure. It isn't as simple as people like to think. If you put the line on a spinning combo backwards and don't flip it, half of your line will just shoot right off as soon as you open your bail. Awesome instructional vid man.
New Year, New Line! Yay! I will throw in I'm a believer in buying nice mid-premium line. For the price of a couple BOGO clearance lures I can have all but the fanciest stuff. I won't swear it makes a big difference, (and you seem to do fine,) but I find it helps my confidence with finicky fish. Happy New Year! Keep your resolutions Realistic!
I like the way you explain this. I'm having my wife put line on her own and your video will help. She doesn't want my help lol. Thanks for the info. Happy New Year brother.
I usually just put the spool in my tackle bag in between the boxes. The tension from the boxes keeps the line tight but it still spins well enough to reel pretty fast
Nice and easy. Thanks for the tips. My taste in beer as I have gotten older have changed quite a bit. It’s Guinness with the widget for me. Its medicinal 😀
Very timely video Alex. I got a new reel for Christmas and need to get her spooled up. I also decided to go fishing today (hoping to catch “the last fish of the year) and got the backlash from hell in one of my casting reels (I wanted to see how far I could cast if I turned all the brakes off...so dumb) so I’ve got to fix that one too. Happy New Year!! Keep Calm and Fish On!!!
oh man.... Milwaukee's Best! I drank that stuff in college 40 years ago. Memories. Nice job putting line in the trash. Good tips here. I have not done the running the line down the guides on the rod while putting on line so I will try that technique. I do like the pencil or something through the spool even for spinning reels though but hey.. everyone is different. Thanks for the info and Happy New Year!
Good tip for spooling line. Good ole Omniflex. Your vids sure prove it’s a great budget line. I laugh when I see other TH-camrs snapping off Bass with their savage hooksets and expensive fluorocarbon lines. Mono is good enough for your grandpappy, so it’s good enough for me. I do use a bit more expensive stuff, Sufix ProMix or Siege are my favorites. I also use Zebco Cajun gator green and clear blue bayou I get for $3 a spool at Ollie’s
The Fishing Machine, Richard Gene, advises soaking mono in a bucket of water for 5 to 7 days before putting on a the spinning reel. He says it relaxes the line so it does not have much memory. I tried that method and it worked ok. BTW, the label on up.
There's also the shoe trick for baitcasters, just put the spool of line in your shoe to where it can spin enough to put tension on your line, but not spin freely
What I do when I put line on a bait caster is, I put a small piece of bamboo through the middle of the spool, and jam the bamboo piece into a cardboard box. Also to reduce line building up on one side of the spool, I tilt the reel slowly right and left to even it out, while reeling the line onto the spool. If one side of the spool isn't getting enough line, the tilting will force the line to spool onto that side It seems. Also I catch panfish all the time on BFS(UL) baitcasters.
Just bought some gator green Cajun line. I consider it the braid of monofilament. Almost no stretch (great sensitivity), highly abrasion resistant, and casts like a dream. I may not use anything else ever again.
The memory comes from the tension the spoiling person that set up the mechan. Something to think about. I worked in a factory with rope and it does the same thing.
"It's time for a cheap one..
..in a nice glass."
That definitely resonates with me.
Happy New Year everyone.
Happy new year!
Happy New Year! I got a front row seat for some good huge fireworks even though Arizona only allows the wimpy sparklers, shower fountains that don’t go higher ten feet and smoke bombs. My 2nd floor apartment balcony faces a huge resort that has a permit for the big fireworks
Milwaukee’s BEAST.
My man. Getting back to the basics. Keep up the great work Alex!

I haven't seen the "Beast Ice" in a loooonnnng time. Glad to see an instructional video from you too!
Happy New Year! KIR everyone
This is my favorite fishing channel. I've started growing a beard.🤘
GoneCommando ain’t creepy!! I’m 22 and still can’t grow anything besides a crustache and some neard hair!
Lol I start growing one everytime I shave.
@@dylant4737 Ha! Crustache.
I enjoy your videos and keeping our parks clean I recycle a lot you can recycle fishing line I take mine to Bass Pro they send it to the recycling center. Thanks for stress keeping our fisheries clean.

Just loaded 3 reels with this tip perfect! Thanks
Thank you for the tips. Hope you and your family have a happy new year..
Great tips. I use that same line too. I will have to re-spool using your tip. My spinning reels are all sorts of line twisted
I suspect the line is on "upside down"
Thanks for the realistic fishing tips im new to bait casters so this will help me out a lot
Great video Alex! Keep up the great tips and advice buddy. Happy new year! 👍🙂
Just put line on my bait caster now to move to the spinning reel! Thanks for the tips.. happy new year and hope everyone has an awesome 2020 fishing season
I use that zebco omniflex exclusively on my rods with the exception of my fly rods. Can't beat the price and it is extremely strong.
Good deal on the spinning combo!

Great tips! I always have trouble with baitcasters line building up on one side.
Happy new year to all! And my buddy should watch this. But he can’t fish whenever I take him he catches trees 🌳 instead 😂😂😂

Arbor knot always wondered what knot to use for this Happy New Year
One of the most useful videos you have put out there. Thank you!

80% of the time it works every time. Good video.
I feel like spoiling up some reels now great video . Happy New Year to you .
Watching now on lunch break. Other then that i watch while behind the gun bar. But i never log in on works computer.
Then the hot water is for after you put your line on the reel. Run it under hot water if it's monofilament as hot water will change the line memory from the size of circle spool it sits on to the circle size of the spools reel size.
Thanks for the tips Alex. Have a great New Year.
Good content my man I have found tying the line from spool to a hair tie and putting hair tie on spool no more loose line
I've got a couple reels that need new line. Saw the Omniflex for $1.79 at Walmart. You go fishing way more than I do, looks like that's worth a try.
lmao, I JUST found out about the COPPA stuff and now your new intro finally makes sense. Everyone is freaking out and you just drop some genius by straight up stating that your videos are not intended for for Children.

Good info. Love the shirt.
Upside down or flip. Good easy to remember points
We love u Alex seriously..we do..u are kooool. Cheers from .Laredo Texas.

Happy New Year! Keep your resolutions Realistic!
Thank you Alex..cheers.🍺👍
Very interesting way of doing things.will gjve that a spin happy new year.
I always tighten the drag on the reel when spooling line on. Seems to help ensure it goes on tight.
Beast Ice!! Hell yeah high school!
I use the feet trick too. Everyone can't afford reel a spooling station. Way to keep it realistic
Great advice for putting on line. Happy New Year to Realistic Fishing!!!
I like the way you explain this. I'm having my wife put line on her own and your video will help. She doesn't want my help lol. Thanks for the info. Happy New Year brother.
It’s that time of year, I just respooled all of my reels.
Every time I see you crack open a cold one I have to run out and get one for myself.
I usually just put the spool in my tackle bag in between the boxes. The tension from the boxes keeps the line tight but it still spins well enough to reel pretty fast
Great video once again, this definitely helped me. Appreciate the way you explain things.
Nice and easy. Thanks for the tips. My taste in beer as I have gotten older have changed quite a bit. It’s Guinness with the widget for me. Its medicinal 😀
Thanks. Happy New Year.
Happy New year!
Just came home from going to Dick’s about an hr away, got 5 lures and got 5 free for $20!! Great deals!!
Back to basics is realistic.
Yesss! Would love to see more tutorials. As a great man once said: pass on what you have learned!
You caught Milwaukee’s Best Ice fishing. I usually catch Keystone’s. LOL
Nice video Alex. Well done.
Happy New Year and tight lines
Hey Im a big fan of Zebco mono very good value for money 🎣
Very helpful video. Thank you and Happy New Year.

I saw that combo on closeout at my Walmart I should have bought it
Thanks for the tips
Great tips! Thanks!
Happy New Year!
Thank you for getting back to the basics. The basic realistic fishing was fun to watch and practice the same fishing technique made it enjoyable.
Sir, you just proved that you are 100% a real man! Milwaukee Best ice 😳shit will put hair on ya chest lol
Good tip for spooling line. Good ole Omniflex. Your vids sure prove it’s a great budget line.

Good stuff!
Just got to ur vid. Great tip for the noobs.
Enjoyed the video. Happy New Year
Happy new year my friend
18 seconds in i stopped the video to say
Dude you got a mean beer pour game !
Happy New Year man, may 2020 be better than the last.
Cool tips Alex, keep on keeping it realistic, Happy New Year, Slay'em in 2020.🐟👊
The Fishing Machine, Richard Gene, advises soaking mono in a bucket of water for 5 to 7 days before putting on a the spinning reel. He says it relaxes the line so it does not have much memory. I tried that method and it worked ok. BTW, the label on up.

There's also the shoe trick for baitcasters, just put the spool of line in your shoe to where it can spin enough to put tension on your line, but not spin freely
Woowww....you are on top now RF.
58K..great job...congrats ..
Keep ahead buddy....
Keep realistic....😎😎😎
Great video 👍
The father in law just asked how to put line on the spinner haha 😂😂😂
What I do when I put line on a bait caster is, I put a small piece of bamboo through the middle of the spool, and jam the bamboo piece into a cardboard box. Also to reduce line building up on one side of the spool, I tilt the reel slowly right and left to even it out, while reeling the line onto the spool.

In the fishing section of academy sports there is usually a fishing line recycling box.
I'm a master at getting it tangled up with something upside down, that and snagging 62 times with brand new line lol
Kool 🎣😎. Happy New Year!
Just bought some gator green Cajun line. I consider it the braid of monofilament. Almost no stretch (great sensitivity), highly abrasion resistant, and casts like a dream. I may not use anything else ever again.
You fucking rock man..thanks for the great tips..and HAPPY NEW YEAR✊😎🍺🎆🎇🎉
