How to Set Up Your Bait Caster?

I am hoping to make something easy so others can find a way to relax.

Line

Then thread it through all 9 eyes on the pole by starting at the end and working your way towards the reel.

Note, be sure not to miss any eyes this could cause performance malfunction of the real and lure.

Line to Reel

You will then put the line tip through the line guide.

Attach to Reel

Tie the line in a double knot around the spool tightly and reel in around 76 yards to fill the spool.

Cut the leftover line off. Keep in mind to leave about 2 yards after your eyes on your pole.

Line to Lure

Run the line throwing the eye on the lure.

Start the Tie

Once done wrap the line around itself 5-7 times. You will do this by going in a spiral pattern away from the lure going up the line

Knot

Once that step is completed, take the end of the line, and put it through the first loop right above the eye of your bait. Pull that tight. Be sure that you have about 1 inches of line left outside of the knot.

Pull It Tight

Once that has been done, hold the eye of the bait and the line that leads to the pole and pull. This will cinch down and make you a perfect knot, tough and durable for the most stubborn and reluctant fish. Remember while completing this step be cautious of the lures hook or hooks.
