You did brilliantly, right up until you used WD40. It's not designed as a lubricant. Worse that that, is that it will get into the reel and destroy the properties of the grease.
Love you channel Rob, plenty of diversity and breadth of content. And no plugging Brands and showy sponsored nonsense with a peg full of top end kit that most anglers could never afford unless they're sponsored. Well done mate.🤙
Totally disagree with putting WD40 on your reel , it is not a lubricant , it's in the name " Water Displacement " its made from Hydrocarbons and is only a rust inhibitor , O.K. for a while then goes sticky and attracts grit and grime . Much better to use a light machine oil or even 3 in 1 oil .
I appreciate you respool this way and are obviously happy with the results. However it’s not the very best way of eliminating twist when putting on a fixed spool reel. It is the perfect way of spooling up a multiplier.... Think of mono as if it were a hosepipe. Remember having back in the day your hosepipe on an old car wheel fixed to the wall? If you pull it off and just try to straighten it, it has a tendency to kink due to twist. If you pull it off and wanted to put it onto another wheel then you would put it on as it came off the wall fixed side stopping any twist at all. So by that rationale, placing your spool of line on the floor, stand over it and hold your reel facing down at it and turn the handle will show you the way the reel rotor spins. This shows which way up the spool of line should face so it comes off the desired way. Just for the record I think 99.9% of reel spin the same way hence the new line should come off the spool anti-clockwise which means the line goes onto the reel the same way it came off the spool. Result is optimal therefore damn near zero twist. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, the description is easier with diagrams! Anyhow, keep up the great work, Rob. All the best to you. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@RobHughesTV many thanks for the info on D spooler Rob been in touch with Willy Worms and i have got one coming for weekend again many thanks mike 👏👏👏
Hmmm nearly all the line spooling tutorials talk about line twist when respooling and that you have to lay the spool flat and let the line come off counterclockwise same direction the bail spins (looking from back) this lays the line on with no twist. Vertical spool or old style pencil through spool is for spooling baitcasters or if you take your spining spool off and run it parallel to the line spool... and using WD40 is not a good idea t will seep into the body, it will ruin rubber seals and it is not a lubricant
Hey great video and cracking little tip using the cereal box,I was thinking of buying the velocity line but noticed you're only using 9.5lb breaking strain do you find this is sufficiently strong enough? Or should I go to 11.5 lbs as I usually fish 12lb but would prefer a lighter easy casting line. Thanks

I've just seen this after spooling up 4 reels about an hour ago, I used the drill & screw driver trick too, great video !

Thanks Neil. Plenty more coming too.
@@RobHughesTV Pleasure mate, keep em coming Amigo.🤙
that cereal tub is a great tip.....thanks Rob!

Excellent, best video on this simple process ever.
Thanks Vince
Great vid! Cereal tub, who'd have thought, beats a bucket and the unavoidable flip.
Awesome Rob thanks for this

Rob, hi from Russia !
great vid rob
Brilliant video, Do you have a link for the drill spool tool please
Bloody hell it looks full after taking it off !!!
Best vid i've seen
Thanks Rob great advise there👍
Thanks mate. Good choice of team btw. WAW :)
Do you need to put the whole rod together when re spooling or just half the rod ok?
Great video Rob have you got any tips for fishing a very weedy lake 🎣👍👍
No probs. I'll have a look. I'm sure I've got loads of footage from over the years. I'll se what I can do.
Go watch the british carp angling championship will help 👍🏻any of the wreysbury ones
Excellent Rob fed up of winding line on to my hand . We're did you get your d spooler from cant find one online cheers mike
Try Emma Pickering at Willy Worms. I know they had a couple in last time I spoke to her
@@RobHughesTV many thanks for the info on D spooler Rob been in touch with Willy Worms and i have got one coming for weekend again many thanks mike 👏👏👏
What reels are those Rob
Some good tips Rob, I've heard of the line despooler but this is the first time I've ever seen one, could you please tell me who makes them??
They're made by CarpSpirit. I think the Tackle Box have them but you'll find em on line somewhere for sure.
@@RobHughesTV thanks Rob, I'll have a look👍👍👍

This is for my long range casting rod. I use it in 15 for other applications. I'd go up if its for "normal" fishing
Great vid...thanks
I did wonder if fishing line could be recycled
Is it same for all reels cheers
Hi rob where did u buy the d-spool from ? Thank you
I think the Tackle Box have them in. Have a little search on line
How good is this line ? carp spirit velocity line
Yes mate its really good. Made for CarpSpirit by Sufix, the leading line manufacturer.
Nice to see Piers Morgan’s brother took a far less satanic career line
Or you could just burn the line , if you dont have recycling access.
WD40 🤦♂️
dont use wd40 its gonna ruin your grease
No thanks brother ub40 will destroy your o rings seal and aloud dirt ger inside the spoon
Good for rats in your kitchen though😉
