How to Assemble a Fishing Pole

Video Transcript

"So we're going to show you how to assemble a fishing pole here. We've got our reel in front of us all broken down from a basic servicing. What you're going to want to do first, take the body of your reel, put the spool on top, threads right through. Then you want to take your drag cap, put it on the thread, just twist that down. That's how you control the drag on your reel. Can adjust that when you get out to the fishing spot. Snug it down now. Next you want to take your reel, if you're a left handed retrieve you can put it on the left side, right handed you can put it on the right side. Most spinning reels today are, will go either direction. So put it through then take your cap on the other side and just thread it in. Alright now our reel is all assembled. Next take your rod and just you want to fit the reel into the reel seat and in this model the cap just screws down from the top. And you don't want to bring it too much because you can crack the reel seat but so it's snug enough and you're ready to go fishing."
