You also tied the knot in the wrong direction. You're pulling the main line in the opposite direction of how the line winds and tightens around the spool.
good eye! yeah looping it in the opposite direction would pull against the knot tighter👍🏼 will pin for visibility.
Wasn't going to mention that LoL. Looked wrong to me but thought maybe a trick of the camera.
Wdym the wrong direction sorry I’m some what of a noob when it comes to knots lol
could you explain what is the correct direction? no video seems to talk about this other than the direction it should come off the spool.
@@kwanghong1980 Since the spool spins clockwise, you want to loop the line on clockwise instead of counterclockwise. Pretty sure that's what they meant.
Amazing how I have to re-learn this every season.
Tried the 2.5 knot and it work great so far, will keep you posted!!! Thanks
Finally a good video on how to tie line onto a spinning reel. This should be the first video that shows up, the first 30 were all arbor knots and if your eyesight is as blurry as mine you can't see how to tie an arbor knot from a video
Just came here to say that I've been using tape for the last 20 years, never had a problem. The line at the bottom of the reel never sees the light of day when spooled correctly.
How do you use the tape?
@@britishaggie222 literally just stick it nice and flush onto the real with like an inch of tape.
@@TaxemicFanatic what kind of tape? Electrical, scotch, duct tape? Complete noob here.
@@LizardSteed electric but the cheapest plastic stuff will do
@@TaxemicFanatic ty
Awesome tutorial Ish! 👏🏻 keep up this great content.
This is what I do besides the double up in the beginning. I’ve been seeing the double up lately in other videos. Just ordered a new spinning reel so I’ll try this in a couple days thanks!
I’ve not ever fished, just moved from CA country to CA coast and might I say - thank you Ish With Fish! You’ve taught me so much. I used many of your affiliate links to purchase your gear recommendations as well ^_^
thx man! gl out there
ty, ish!! just spooled my siegler sg w/65lb j-braid
Pretty big knot when you spool the line on it creates snag point.
Great knot Ish, thank you.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Great idea. Definitely gonna remember this next time I have to respool one of my spinning reels. Thanks for posting.
Very helpful made putting new line on, way easier double thumbs up
Great production quality content! You deserve more subscribers!
Excellent bloke. I have 5 reels to spool, so glad I seen this before I started.
Tried this knot and it works 👍
Nice fishing video. I like the detail instructions and the test to prove it works. Thanks!
Good stuff I tie a uni knot but have never wrapped it twice first, I like that.
Great tip!! Found it works better than I was doing when I ran out of line and lost the fish due to sharp edges and and weak knot when I tied it to the spool!! Yeah thanks a million I will only use this method from here on out!!!
I enjoyed your video it was informative and interesting
Thanks I’m going to use that method to put line on my new Penn Fierce 6000.
This video really helped me, thank you dude.
Looks good. I have not seen this done before. I will try it next time.
Good information. I've always been intimidated by the thought of spooling my own. You have provided the encouragement to try it. Thanks.
Thank you for the great tutorial, hope you always have a great success, greetings from Inodesian Ladies angler :)
Dont need knot on reel just put double sided tape round spool
This is good stuff. I came by a video of an aussie gentleman(could be from nz lol don't quite remember). He showed this very method and I feel it's nice and safe on the spool 👍
Spot on mate
That was fun to watch
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, impressed
Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod th-cam.com/users/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.
Thankyou so much!!!
thanks for the tip, keepum coming...
am commenting to thank u for such kind of idea as help...
wouldn't worry bout whether its gonna break or not
i tested n it doesn't slip a bit on metal spools..
satisfied enough..thanks
Nice tutorial dude.
Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I simply do a double wrap like you did, and
do a San Diego Knot to tight to Spool.
SD knot slides down easier. But no matter What knot one chooses, The Key Factor is making a double Wrap.
Thank you, very useful
Marvellous knot
I’m a jazzer, so I really dig the II-V knot
Thank you. I have always had trouble with attaching my line to the reel.
Thanks that was a great job
Good info!
Great vid. Ive found that for mono 30#s and greater you can get away with just 3 loops when tying the uni. That helps shrink the size profile of the knot so its not so bulky.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks that is easier and better for me than the arbor knot
Great tip buddy
Awesome test!!!!🤙🏼
very nice video. thanks
I've just always put a loop in my line, tie it off with an overhand knot, then created a larks head with the loop and main line, slip that over the spool (with the bail open), close the spool and then start reeling. If the larks head loop just slides around the spool, it's on backwards. Not a big deal, just open the bail, take it back off of the spool and flip it over. Sounds more complicated than it really is. I could do 4 or 5 in the time it takes to do this.
I totally just did this and oh yeah that's way way better.
Nice tutorial bro.Easy to me
No problem, hope it helps!
Thanks bro, its a useful tips 😀👍🙏
I have no idea how to tie the knot. It WILL NOT MOVE. You are making videos for people who already know about tying knots. I am trying to feel my way through this, and this video does not tell me, IN DETAIL, how to tie a useable knot. To be fair, it is the best video I have found so far.
Agreed
I tie a loop about one inch long snip off any waist the pass the line threw the loop fit it over the spool then pull it tight the wind on the line.to be honest iv never had a pike or carp empty all my line in over 35-years so in my eyes tie what ever knot you want.the most important knot to me is the hook and not the spool.
Uni knot is the best ever for all fishing purposes what ever was light or heavey💪💪💪👍👍👍
Not many people realize how simple and reliable the uni knot is. Its a knot sent from god honestly
Pulled the knot while holding the MAIN line and it works! Sorry to vent my frustration, this is VERY frustrating
Thanks
Lol yearghh. It's working nicely mate. No more frustration 😊
I make double loop sort of like you do then use a pressic knot. That way it comes off easy when time to change out.
good recomendation, thx!
Excellent
That's gonna help me a lot when I buy my new reel. Thanks dude
Very helpful and impressive. Thanks!!
I was taught always wet mono at knot before pulling tight so you dont disturb "directional fibres" on mono,whether reel,hook,ect. Always. I wet fingers with spit then pull tight. Has worked 50 plus years for me
🛀Good evening, Mr. Ish…the spit in the can was hilarious. I found your tutorial at the right time. I was suffering with learning the Harbor Knot 🪢 but the 2.5 Uni knot is what the doctor 👨🏾⚕️ ordered. Now I shall spit with joy 🏺
I do this from about 25 years..uni knot is my go to all situations except to conect my braid to leader on my trout area rods where I use the Fg because of the microguides
That's a great knot, but if anyone has to worry about getting spooled down to the knot, you need a bigger reel.
But the extra insurance in case you do costs nothing but a minute's extra effort now.
@@JeepWranglerIslander no fish is ever pulling 250 yards of line out to the knot lol
If I get spooled then that fish did it’s job and deserves to go free. It means I didn’t have my drag set right. 🤷🏻♂️ Either that or he just flat out beat me.
@@andreabruno5495 have you ever fished Marlin?
@@mystikmiser6725 no. Nobody has fished Marlin. It's an elite trophy sport meant for the likes of fox hunters. No thanks
Excellent presentation, great knot for the reel anchor...
The knot at the spool isn't really important. Ive even used tape to stick my line to my spool. If your concerned you might get spooled you aren't using the correct equipment for the specific fish you are after. For me the most important aspect of your spool knot is the size of the knot and how it lays. A big knot can really screw up how your line lays and spools on and off the reel. Just my 2 cents.
Do you tie a knot then tape it ? And what tape do you use ?
@@jon_gatica361 I like to use double sided tape on the reel then tie around the double sided not and run the line on the reel. works for me at least.
You've obviously never used a casting reel then.
@@jon_gatica361 Never rely on tape to hold the line, even as backing. You're simply becoming reliant upon the adhesive of the tape now instead of the friction of a knot and the friction against the spool. Think you know how well tape works after getting wet a few dozen times.
It's not important until someone fumbles your pole into the water while you're helping them with their bait. Then you'll want that knot. Just ask my friend's dad😁
I've been doing just that. Never had a failure. 💯💯💯
ahead of the curve🙌🏽
anyway, great video, much appreciated!!!!!!!!!
I also use tape and been doing it for 50 years. I take duct tape because it has a tiny bit of cushion or depth to prevent the line from slipping, then u can use any sensible knot that is not very big so it will not interfere with any other line wraps. Just take a few inches of duct tape and split it with scissors the approximate width of the bottom of the spool, and then wrap it around the spool core trying to get just one full wrap and that none or very little of the tape is up the side of the spool. Btw the reel I use and the best I have ever owned in 50 years of fishing. Diawa Fuego LT 3000 D-C and 4000D-C. Got 6 of them and use them exclusively in salt water and brackish water for fish up to 15 lb so far.
Is there a way to tie this knot to a spincast reel
That knot will create an uneven surface
Awesome man glad I came along this video i was starting to get frustrated now all my fustrations are gone
🙌🏽🙌🏽
And im more frustrated
Am getting another idea if how to proper put on the spool. Watching from philippines.
Timber hitch?lies flatter on the spool though any knot buried under yards and yards or meters and meters of line is a safe bet it won’t be a big concern.
Thanks for the instructional video. How will the line lay with that uni knot?
there's a bit of a bump but it never interferes with casting. its rare i ever cast down to the spool.
It’s a great knot but is it not a bit bulky to use that kind of knot, surely as the line is wound onto the spool the knot will bulge some of the line out around the knot location?
Good 👍👍👍👍
Does this work with braided lines?
It is strong, but leaves a bump when you spool the reel. The knot is sticking up to high.
yes, ive had issues w/ the line catching and tangling when line gets close to that uni-knot bump.
Yep when you have a short line reel this knot would never work
Can I use this knot on a Berkley Fireline ULTRA 8 CARRIER 0.12mm?
sure thing, I use this method for every mono or braid spool knot.
"BETTER THAN AN ARBOR KNOT" should be your title so people would find your video.
Super-strength is not so important. Not slipping is important.
I am guessing that it will hold and not slip with a bunch of line on the reel.
It does look better than an arbor knot. I will be tieing it next time. Thank you so much.
great idea. you're right, the knot is more for preventing slippage vs breakage, but it was fun to show a break on camera. hope it helped!
If you have to trust any knot that is attaching your line to your spool……..you are in serious trouble already😂 regards from deepest Dorset 🇬🇧🇺🇸
haha fair enough
Good video but the free end was out of frame making it slightly confusing. Solid B :)
haha i'll take a B👌🏽
Yeah this video is literally impossible to follow if you’ve never done it before
Nice . Penn corona
Hello, knot looks big. My experience it stops line from wrapping around spool. Causes line to hang up when casting.
Interesting. Ive have always done the arbor knot and throw 2 or 3 hitch knots on top of it just in case. I've never had it slip. But ive also never spooled out to test it strength either. 🤷♂️
Does this knot work on a Penn bait casting / surf fishing 209 reel?
works on every reel👍🏼
Ish With Fish thanks buddy. Good video, right to the point
Much better
#1. ish
Can this knot be used on braided line without any backing?
yup! it holds pretty tight, braid to spool with no backing.
@@ishwithfish tq bro
Nice 👍🏼 bro! Ish are you guyz getting hassled by the law fishing in the bay or surf lately?
i haven't gone out much tbh, i know beach access is tough because most coastal parking is blocked and launches are closed.
Thanks bro for the info 🤙🏽 btw I met your cousin at my my cousin’s party lol I told her I watch and subscribe to your channel 😜
Interesting
What line test and type did you use for the video?
i think this was Berkley Big Game 20 lb mono
Great tutorial! One thing to note is what you use to lubricate your line. Most people use spit but remember that saliva is meant break down protein and well...mono has protein in it so you will be effectively weakening it over time. Use plain water and you'll get the same results. Tight lines
never knew that, protein in mono? thx for the tip👍🏼
@@ishwithfish Mono doesn't have protein in it
Human saliva doesn't break down protein. It breaks down carbohydrates.
Noob fisher here.. First time I've gotten a knot to stick the first time. Wetting the knot is definitely a step I've always missed. 👍
Why did you doing a knot on the spool? if you have a special hole on the spool for spooling line, the knot suppose to be inside of the spool for perfect line winding.
Is this knot good to use with braid line? Just wanna make sure before I try to spool
yup works for all lines👍
@@ishwithfish Thank you sir.
