Did you just get a new spinning reel?
If so, you might have found yourself asking, Can I put braid on my spinning reel?
That is exactly what we are going to talk about in today’s post. We will also try to address some other concerns you might have when fishing with braid.
Let’s get started.
Imagine the following situations.
You head down to one of your favorite fishing tackle shops and you notice they are running a great deal on a brand new spinning reel that you have been eyeing for some time.
Without giving it much thought you throw it in the cart and are excited at the thought of getting home and hitting the lake with your new gear.
However, on the way home, you realize you don’t have a spinning rod to accompany this reel, you only have baitcasting rods. What should you do?
Or perhaps you have found yourself in the following situation.
You have own several baitcasting reels, but only have a few spinning setups. One day you realize you accidentally step on your last spinning rod. However, the conditions on the lake are perfect for doing some finesse fishing.
What should you do now?
No matter which situation you will find yourself in, you will no doubt be asking the question: Can I use a spinning reel on a casting rod? Or vice versa, can a casting reel be put on a spinning rod?
Let’s answer that question and also take a look at some key differences between these two rods.
A good quality fishing line is not cheap.
For example, a high-quality fluorocarbon can run anywhere between $30 to as high as $85 a spool. It all depends on the weight of the line and the amount you buy. Now multiply that dollar amount by the number of reels that you have in your garage and we are talking about a serious investment.
With that being said, when it comes to spooling our reels, we want to know exactly how many yards of fishing line are needed so as to avoid wasting/spending money unnecessarily.
I don’t know about you, but I would much rather save some money on fishing line and spend the extra money on a new gear.
For that reason, in this post, I am going to show you how to figure out exactly how many yards you are going to need to top off your fishing reels. I also want to talk about a few tips that I have learned along the way to save some money on fishing line.
