Rod and reel combinations have several ways that they are fastened to each other. Salt- and fresh-water reels typically fit in a reel seat by having the lower tab put into a slot. The reel nut is then lowered by screwing in in the right direction to secure it over the upper tab of the reel seat.
Cork rods have cork-based tape wrapped around the bottom of the rod. Reels are fastened with reel clamps. A half-circle fits behind the rod, the reel sits on top. Long screws are run through the clam into the reel seat. Alternately, hose clamps are used to secure the reel foot to the reel.
In some inexpensive fresh-water rods, a nut and bolt fit through a flat plate. The reed is put into a slot in the reel, tipped into placed, the flat plate is put over the upper reel tab, and the screw is turned to secure the reel in place.
Fly reels are mounted on rods using broad rings that pressure-fit in place over the upper or lower reel foot, depending on how the reel is mounted on the rod.

∙ 11y agoOnmostfishing rods (spinning rods) the the reel isattachedto the rod through the reel seat. At the top of the reel (where the reel joins the rod) you will see the foot of the reel being held held on onto the reel seat with two large crew caps on the fishing rod. To remove the reel loose the screw caps until there is enough room to remove the foot of the reel from the reel seat.

∙ 14y agoFirst of all, take all the old line off.
IF it's a spinning rod you need to respool you should get a warm bucket of water and drop the spool of monofilament into the warm water (or hot works fine). Then take the free end of the line from the spool and string it from the top guide down to the spool. Open the bail and tie the line onto the reel. Then apply tension to the line and start reeling until the line is about 1/4 inch from the lip of the spool (I leave 1/8inch). Then you're done.
IF its a conventional reel you do the same thing, but if there is not levelwind to evenly lay the line on the reel you must reel with tension and use your fingers to lay the line evenly to about 1/4inch within the lip. And you're done! Hope this helps. Dan

∙ 13y agoThe easiest method is to get a metal coathanger and some duct tape. Straighten the coathanger and tightly tape the end of the cord to the end of the coathanger. Proceed to thread it thru the pole.
