How to Thread a Fishing Pole

Most models of fishing poles come equipped with loops attached at various points to guide the line from the reel to the tip of the pole. As the line passes through these loops, the friction may eventually cause fraying and other signs of wear; this may increase the possibility of the line snapping once you have caught a fish. As such, it is important to install fresh line on the spool at the start of each fishing season, which will require you to first learn how to properly thread the line on the pole.
