>>1253372>my reel is just spinning the line instead of pulling it infirst off, i'm assuming you're on a spincast reel like pic related
if that assumption is correct the problem you described could be one of three things
1: you crank the handle, and it makes almost a buzzing sound, but isn't actually reeling in the line
if that's the case something is up with your drag, either it's too low and it's a simple matter of tightening it, or it could be broken and it's fucked, but i doubt this is the problem you're having, and option 2 &3 are more likely to help you
>2 the line it's self is spinning on the spoolthis one is an easy fix, but it will cost you your line.
go buy some new line, since it sounds like you're a noob i reccomend berkley trilene in a similar thickness to what came on your reel. bring that home, pull all the old line off your reel, tie on the new line (i just use a uni knot) and respool the reel. there are plenty of videos on that
>3 the third problem could be that you're a fuckwit and no amount of advice from 4chan will ever fix that (if anything it will make it worse)
