Hi everybody. I've got a pretty lame question about line. I'm about as green as it gets when it comes to fishing so if possible...bear with me.
How do I load line on a spinning rod? I'm completely lost here. I've read up on it and the guy at the sporting goods store showed me. I even did it once with his help. However, the line needs replacing and I'm not quite sure how to do it now.
My problem is that the lingo is always explained as just lingo. Open bail this, open bail that. I don't know anything about the equipment as I just recently started fishing. I enjoy the art of it all but I can't seem to get the tiniest things. I've gone as far as leading the mono up to the reel but I can't seem to figure out where to go from there. So if you're not already laughing on the floor, lend a poor guy some knowledge and help me figure this out, eh?
