How to assemble spinning reel rod?

Oct 02, 2007 by asdf | Posted in Fishing

I bought a eagle claw rod with a spinning reel and was hoping to go out fishing with a friend, but I didn't receive an instruction manual with the box. I have attached the reel to the rod, but if anyone could tell me if there's some special thing I should do with the line other then attach and knot things onto it, it would be helpful.

Just be sure the guides are all in alignment and the line from the reel passes through each guide. Learn to tie the proper knots to your line to ensure maximum strength of the line. Don't use lures or sinker weights that are too heavy for the particular weight rod! Now go have fun!!!

join the sections together put the reel on with it lined up with the eyes ,put the line through the eyes, put a wire trace on to stop the fish from biting through your line,put a small swivel with a clip on so that when you want to change end tackle all you have to do is unclip say a spinner to a crank bait,or rubber jig. and that's about it really. hope this helps

Not really with the exception of puttin' line on correctly. I'll place spool of line on floor with Brand of line label facin' up (there's other variances, but this be my personal way of addin' line to a spinning reel), run line through last eye on rod near handle (saves time by not usin' all of the eyes)) and with an arbor knot (1st link), tie line to spool of reel. With bale open start reelin' (bale will flip over and lock closed to pick up line). Might add that by letting line run through thumb and index finger you'll have more tension on line.
Also, have included a link that'll help you out with other questions regardin' fishing. Hope I helped a bit ;)...

Does any one manufacture, a reel that doubles as a spinning or bait casting & a fly reel?

For on an eagle claw, pack-it, spin/fly rod.

Here is a good reel that works well for a travel rod made by Pflueger. Other companies have similar models as well. It is neither a spinning reel, baitcaster or fly reel, rather a closed-face spinning reel called an underspin reel.

Take a look:

I dont think so, even if you have a rod that can double as a fly rod, the line used on the two reels are completely different. Therefore you'd have to change the line all the time. Pack two different reels and they should change, go on and off the rod fairly easily.

Don't think so... I have the same rod (Eagle Claw combo spin/fly rod) and my solution ta' that is two reels. There are spinnin' reels on the market as well as fly reels that are so small ya' can put them in your pocket, only draw-back on that is the species of fish your wantin'? Would'nt want ta' tangle with a 45lb., King (Chinook) Salmon on an ultra-light reel, sportin' 6 # test line ( though it'd be a kick n' the butt ; ) )!!! Good luck and "Fish On".

Merwin: Looking Into Thousands of Tackle Boxes Field and Stream (blog)

01.03.10

Getting a shuck into other anglers’ block and tackle boxes is sometimes fun precisely for interest’s welfare. Now Southwick Associates’ Angler Measure gives us a look into thousands of them. After compiling more than 34,000 internet-based fisherman surveys in 2009, Southwick reported last last week on the top-selling heterogeneous fishing brands for last year.

Note in the following that faultless stigmatize breakdowns by sector aren’t being publicly reported. And I go on to comprehend that all categories aren’t being reported, either. That’s because Southwick sells marketing facts to diversified fishing-activity insiders and isn’t current to barrel give for for free that which he does for a living. What he does flagrantly write-up is easy on the eyes riveting, though.

Shakespeare’s Dreadful-looking Stik was the most skilfully-selling rod tag, accounting for 16.4% of all purchases. No to which he replied there. Unattractive Stiks are low-cost, and however clunky they might touch, they almost never opening. Shimano, meanwhile, was the top-selling take note of kind (23%). That’s no stupefaction, either, since Shimano offers numerous spinning-call models, for specimen, ranging in cost from a beggarly $10 all the way up to $600-supplementary.
