How to fix fishing line caught in an open-faced reel
1. How to fix fishing line
stuck in an open-faced reel
By Evan Whetstone
2. Step #1: Keep it clean
-Clean after every use with kerosene and light weight oil
-If fishing in saltwater, clean in freshwater to avoid damaging rust
From this… To this
3. Step #2: Know how to set it up
-Run the line under the bail(u-shaped)
-This helps when you cast out and can’t reel back in
4. Another way to avoid all of this is to buy
the best fishing pole available-an uglystik! I
have found that this company makes the
most quality reel’s and pole’s that rarely
ever break. Find them here at Fishing Rods,
Fishing Combos | Ugly Stik®
5. Step #3: Start from scratch
-If all else fails, separate the reel from the pole and start over
-Be sure to run your line under the bail to guide it into the spool
