How Do You Add Line To A Telescoping Fishing Rod?
A telescoping fishing rod is one of the most useful inventions for the avid angler since the invention of the hook. Light and compact, the rod slides in on itself to less than 1 foot long and is the perfect size for storing in a day pack or attaching to the frame of a mountain bike for that impromptu encounter with a trout stream. Attached at the handle, an ultralight spinning reel spooled with light test monofilament means you are ready to fish with the snap of a wrist. Adding new line to the combo each year at the start of the season means cleaner casting, smoother retrievals and fewer lost fish. Remove all the old line from the reel. Dispose of the old line in a safe place. Never leave old fishing line in the field where wildlife could become entangled or choke on tangles of monofilament. Insert a pencil or wooden dowel through the hole in the center of a spool of new line to create a wheel, with the pencil or dowel serving as an axle. Line test of 8- to 10 lbs. is more than enough
