>>503130>1.How do I spool a goddamn reel? I've blown through 2 spools and it's all twisted up and shitty.Spinning reel: lay the spool on its side on the floor, hold the line between two fingers about 6-10" up the rod, and reel it in. If it starts to twist turn the spool on the other side and it should be good from then-on. Some of the larger tackle shops offer reel filling also.
Baitcasting reel: put a pen through the spool center, clamp the pen to a table, reel in holding the line between fingers as above.
>2. What do I put my caught fish in? One of those wicker basket things? A bucket?I use a stringer and keep them alive. Not good to just let dead fish sit uncleaned in the sun.
