How to Spool Up Carp Reels (AND Remove Line Twist)

How to strip and re spool your carp reels with mono and avoid line twists.

In this video, I’m re-spooling with some Berkley Big Game mono but you can follow these instructions with any monofilament or braided mainline on a fixed spool reel. This is a great carp fishing video for beginners but it may also give more experienced anglers a tip or too! At the end, I show you how to avoid and remove line twists from your line when you’re fishing.

This is a brilliant video. Clearly explained “how to..” step-by-step. Loads of little golden nugget tips for any beginner or experienced angler. Please continue to do more and ignore any haters/dislikes as I have found this very helpful, just like lots of others.

I'm glad I found this video. It's by far the best that I've viewed. Delivered in a calm relaxed way. Easy to understand and very well shown in logical step by step stages. I've learned why my line twists and how to correct it as well as why it's important to soak the line in warm water with a mild detergent solution. Many thanks for posting it.

Returning to fishing after a long absence and came across this video, the instructions are excellent and very clear, I have now attached line to new reel, process was pain free and the end result looks excellent.
Many Thanks.

you done it perfectly iv re-spool thousands of times i still hate it but it has to be done and always done it the same way warm soapy water and its important to take the line of the front dont let it jump around in the bucket and do it rgt your have no issues. great video as always

[josetenorio]

I've seen several different videos on line twist..n different techniques on how to correct them....n this is by far the most easiest way I've seen...ty very much my friend...

[LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Great video, good value, well put together, good tags, good title and closed captions. you have a new subscriber

[markiep]

To make it even easier for yourself tie a PVA bag on the end of the line with stones in cast into the lake wait for the PVA to melt then reel in done

[mark]

This is absolutely brilliant and the best video on spooling on here …. Top man

[beejay]

I'm glad I watched this because I'm about to Berkley big game on my reels also but I would have take the line off the top of the spool label up, so that was very helpful, thanks 👍

[leefrancis]

Brilliant stuff Matt when I bought the synchro xt the fella said to take off label up, done that and still twisted up even tho I kept stopping and flipping it round to minimise twist, so will give this technique a try. and again many thanks

[alessandrofoxint]

bellissimo video, ti prego continua a pubblicare video sul tuo canale perchè è uno dei migliori che ci siano sul carpfishing. Continua così, bel lavoro!

[hughjars]

couple of others mentioned this.. pulling line off on the clutch.. ive been doing this for years and had no idea thats where the twist came from.. brilliant video.. ive just watched several vids on tgis subject, korda, Gardiner etc and none of them mention this fiest class tip and one ill be taking to the bank from now on.. good job

[TheProgrammer]

Great video - I found your line twist tips really useful 🙂

For stripping the line, I've found using a sharp knife (e.g. boxcutter) to be really fast and easy (as long as you're careful, obviously!)
