PatrickGG Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Sup everyone! i got a issue which maybe some of your ideas would help me out, over the years i managed to buy a few opened face reels which came with a additional spool and now looking at some of my spools i am tring to figure out what line i spooled on them, i notice some people label there spools and i just don't like the thought of sticking labels on my spools so whats sort of system do you guys use??

fliptheslop Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I use the white cloth hockey tape, easy to write on, stays on when it gets wet and very easy to take off when you want, I just put a little picec on the spool where nothing else is writin, works great and never gets in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daplumma Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Tape or a p-touch or just write it on the spool with a sharpie.Just remember to write the date and type of line on the spool.Good question. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have two spools...LOL. The one with thick line is for Walleye and Pike....the one with thinner line is for Steelhead. Pretty scientific eh??? haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Easy for me 10# stren, 14# stren, 17 stren I can tell by the diameter. The really thin stuff is 8#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishdawg Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I used to keep a list on my wall - had each reel on the list & beside each, read what kind of line, how much of it was on the spool, & the date it was spooled - pretty simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I post all my spool's line weight and capacity on my own private web site, which I can access through my "Crackberry" virtually anywhere in southern Ontario. When I need to change up, I consult the all knowing "crack" and pick accordingly from my selection within my dedicated spool box! Ok, now really, I don't have a system. If I'm not sure, I just re-spool! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 if you're having a hard time trying to remember what line's on the spool, that means you have way too many spools/reels ... to solve that problem, send it over to my house and i'll remember them for you... PM me for my address for spinning reels maybe you can stick a label on the inside of the spool (if the appearance is what makes you reject the idea of sticking labels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
