RuddyDuck Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 So we got about a month til opener, do you guys spool up your line now or wait til a week or so before. I know it wouldn't matter for braid, but talking for mono and flouro which can coil up while sitting on a reel spool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) You can spool up now then just put your reel in the freezer until you go. It wouldn't coil then. Edited April 15, 2016 by leech~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when did you spool up your line for the river then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfshin24 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 A week before I started fishing the river. I think it was the first week in March when I had most of my stuff spooled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikestabber Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Spool it up now. Go cast in the yard a dozen or so times to train it to the reel. Good to go. The sun is harder on mono than anything else, so keep it in a rod locker, in your garage, etc. No worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 as pike said, your fine whenever.. its either going to sit on a spool in the store or your reel, same difference. Just keep it out of direct sunlight. SwimbaitChucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimbaitChucker Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I change Fluorocarbon on my reels so much it really doesn't matter. Fished out of a Boat for bass in MN all winter. My gear is always ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Z Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 SBChucker, do you get it cheap? Or just feel the need to change your Fluoro that much? Or I guess fish a lot of tournaments competitively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatoneguy Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Or is it just a necessity from fishing a lot of water with rocks and/or wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimbaitChucker Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Buy the Bulk 1000 yard spools from Tackle Warehouse during their 25 days of savings in December. Seguar Red Label is 40 to 60% off. Can afford to change it out every 3 or 4 weeks. Piece of mind is priceless. On 5/11/2016 at 0:47 PM, RuddyDuck said: Your not a normal Bass guy though, your superbassman or part fish!

Fished 8 to 10 days a month out of a boat for Bass all winter long. Caught an absurd amount of fish too. JP Z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Z Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Understood, I'll have to keep watching the 25 days of savings deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
