    Default Calibrating reels

    New to trolling and just found out about Calibration for reels. Any tips for me? I figured I'd try the pull a 100 ft out and read the counter and add or take away line to get a 100 on the dot.

    Your on the right track . Measure out a fixed distance and check to see if it's reading correctly . If you line counter is reading high add line , if it's reading low remove line . I usually start my spools off reading a foot or two low...meaning they are slightly overspooled . That way as line settles into the spool or I cut off to retie I'm still good . When it comes time to respond I strip off 300 ft of line and tie a splice knot of some kind and top the spool off using the other line as backing .

    Karl, that was one of the best I have seen as far as explaining filling a reel yet.
