On spinning reels, the bail is the little wire arm hanging off the reel. Lift the line up to open the bail, and lift it down to close the bail. Unwrap any old line still in place. Baitcasters don't have a bail, so you won't need to do this step. The line guides are the small loops hanging off the underside of the rod. Start at the far end of the rod, pushing the line through the loops and towards the reel. For a Baitcaster rod, look for a little hole in the reel. You'll also need to run the line through this guide to get it into the bail. Wrap the end of the fishing line over the spool, which is the indentation in the middle of the reel. Bring the end of the line back towards you and tie the line together in an arbor knot. An arbor knot is done by first tying an overhand knot. Tie a second overhand knot at the free end of the line. Then pull both knots tight against the reel. Pull the wire arm as far down as it will go. This locks the line in place. If the line comes undone, you'll need to lift up the bail and redo the knot. Make note of the direction the bail rotates, since the line needs to be loaded in the same direction. Drop the spool of new fishing line on the floor with the label facing upwards and adjust the position of the rod so the line can be loaded correctly.. For example, if your bail rotates clockwise, stand to the left of the spool so the line wraps clockwise around it. For Baitcaster rods, you'll need to stick a pencil through the spool and have someone else hold it. Alternatively, purchase a reel spooler or make one by placing the spool on a screwdriver pushed through a cardboard box. Use your free hand as you hold the rod in your other hand. You'll need to maintain constant pressure. If the line feels taut and doesn't tangle going onto the reel, you're holding it correctly. Continue gripping the line as you crank the handle. 15-20 rotations is enough to load the line into the reel. Make sure you keep an eye on the line so it doesn't load with knots or tangles. You'll have to unspool the line to fix this. For knots or tangles, gently pull the line back off the reel. Tug on the loop of line in the tangled part and it'll unravel. Let go of the line and watch it drop towards the ground. You'll immediately notice any twists or loops in the line. To compensate, flip the spool of new fishing line so that the label faces the ground. Make sure the line continues to load in the same direction the bail rotates! Pinch the line again between your thumb and index finger so it stays straight, then rotate the rod's crank. Load the line until the reel is almost full. The line should be about 18in (0.32cm) below the spool's rim. Cut the line to detach it from the new spool to finish. Simply place a rubber band around the line on the reel to hold it in place. If your reel has a tab on the side, wrapping the line around it will also hold everything in place.
