If you're new to fishing, the process of spooling line onto a reel can seem daunting. But don't worry - with a little practice, you'll be an expert in no time! Here's what you need to know about putting line on a Zebco reel:
1. Start by removing the old line from your reel. To do this, simply loosen the drag knob and allow the old line to come off of the spool. Once it's all off, discard it in a trash bin.
2. Next, tie one end of your new fishing line to the bail on your reel (this is the metal arm that holds the line in place). Make sure the knot is secure so that your line won't come loose while you're fishing.
3. Now it's time to start spooling on your new line! Begin by holding the end of the line in one hand and holding down the bail with your other hand. Then, use your thumb to slowly release Line from The Spool as you turn The Handle clockwise. continue until The entire spool is full - but be careful not to overfill it or yourline will become tangled!
4. Finally, re-tighten The Drag Knob so that The Bail stays securely in place, and voila - you're ready to fish!
