The amount of backing you put on your reel depends on the type of fishing you're doing and the reel's capacity. Generally, you should fill the reel to about 1/8 inch from the spool's edge to prevent tangles and ensure smooth casting. For larger species or deep-sea fishing, you might want to use more backing to accommodate heavier lines and larger spools. Always check your specific reel's guidelines to determine the ideal backing amount.

Why do you need backing on a fly reel?
Backing on a fly reel is essential because it provides additional line capacity, allowing for longer runs from fish without risking a break. It also helps in preventing the fly line from slipping off the spool during intense fights. Additionally, backing serves as a buffer to cushion the fly line against the reel's spool, which can protect it from wear and tear. Overall, it's crucial for both performance and durability in fly fishing.

How do you properly spool fishing line onto a reel?
To properly spool fishing line onto a reel, first, attach the reel to a rod. Then, thread the line through the rod's guides and tie it securely to the reel spool. Close the bail or line roller, and start winding the line onto the spool evenly and tightly. Make sure to keep tension on the line to prevent tangles. Fill the spool to about 1/8 inch from the rim, and trim any excess line.
How do you spool a fishing reel?
It's pretty simple. All you gotta do is thread the fishing line of choice through the highest eye and go all the way down to the reel. Tie a knot around the reel and start reeling it in. You might want to hold it a little tight right above the reel. This helps it keep from birdnesting, or coming off the reel and tangling up really bad. Hope this helps! Southernfishing101.webs.com

What would make a reel to reel tape deck play a tape perfectly for 45 minutes to an hour and then gradually start slowing down and become distorted?
The torque might be too high on the feed reel, a quick remedy might be to use a low torque reel to hold the feed reel tape. The one on the left is called the feed or supply reel and the other is called the take-up reel. A low torque reel is one that has larger than normal hub. REWIND the tape onto a reel that has a quantity (about 10 mins) of old tape already on the reel and load the tape you are trying to play onto this reel with the old tape still on the hub. This extra tape will keep the supply reel from producing as much pull on the tape near the end of the reel as before. Keeping in mind if the tape was recorded on this machine, the audio will sound too fast near the end of the tape. The error has already been recorded. This might turn out to be a redo. (record on and play the tape again). PS. In the old days you could buy these low torque reels.
How can I replace fishing line on my reel?
To replace fishing line on your reel, follow these steps: Remove the old line by unwinding it from the reel. Clean the reel and spool to remove any dirt or debris.

What is a clock reel?
A clock reel is a device for measuring yarn and turning it into a skein. It consists of a hub that rotates on an axle, and 4 to 8 spokes that radiate outwards, forming a reel. Each spoke has a crossbar at the end. The axle is mounted in a wooden box. Inside the box is a set of gears connected to a shaft with a pointer on the end. The circumference around the crossbars was usually an even number of feet; often two yards, as this is a convenient size for a skein of yarn.The yarn is wound onto the crossbars by turning the reel. Turning the reel causes the gears to turn inside the box, which cause the pointer on the outside of the box to turn. A dial allows the pointer to indicate how much yarn has been wound onto the reel.Clock reels often had a mechanism that would click or pop for each turn of the reel. The device was commonly known as a weasel because of its long, thin shape. This is the origin of the children's song "Pop Goes the Weasel".
How do you properly thread fishing line onto a fishing reel?
To properly thread fishing line onto a fishing reel, start by tying the line to the reel spool using an arbor knot. Then, close the bail and start winding the line onto the spool evenly and tightly. Make sure to keep tension on the line as you wind it to prevent tangles. Once the spool is filled to the desired level, cut the line and secure it with a knot or tape.
