How to Unspool a Spinning Reel
Step- 1
Arrange the unspooling material
To remove the line from the spool, the following material is needed;
- Drill or electric screwdriver
- A foam block
- Scissors
- A knife
- Screwdriver with small shaft
Step- 2
Arrange a foam despoiling block
A foam block is a perfect choice to remove the old line from the spool. Have you used it ever before? Some anglers use a different strategy based on the reel.
Of course,
Various tools can perform the same task too easily. But the point is PRACTICE. Always use the material that you are used to.
Now, make the foam ready to use. How would you do it? Simply, use a sharp knife and cut a notch in the block. Moreover, allow the notch to hold the edge of the line while it moves on the drum bit.
As the very next step, add pressure to the edge of the foam block with the help of a screwdriver.
Well done!
You are ready to unspool the spinning reel. Simply, jump to step 3.
Step- 3
Unload the old fishing line
As the very first go, pull the edge of the line you put in the block and drag it into the notch. Wait! Is your screwdriver fit for this practice? Keep in mind, its diameter should be small to the extent to offer free movement of the spool while unloading.
Is that clear to you?
Great! Hold a spool or screwdriver in one hand and operate an electric drill or screwdriver using a free hand. This practice will load the foam block with an old line while unspooling a spinning reel.
Have to transfer all the old lines to the block?
Okay. Drag scissors below the fishing line and cut it from the foam. You can store this old line in a bag and give it to sporting goods shops for recycling when needed.
Congratulations!
