  2. Fishing reel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_reel

    Spinning reels also tend to have more issues with twisting of the fishing line. Line twist in spinning reels can occur from the spin of an attached lure, the action of the wire bail against the line when engaged by the crank handle, or even retrieval of line that is under load (spinning reel users normally pump the rod up and down, then ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinner's_weasel

    Some reels or skein winders are made without the gear mechanism (see swift (textiles)). They perform the same function, but without the "clock" or pop to aid the spinner in keeping track of the length of thread or yarn produced. A niddy noddy is an even simpler version.

  5. Distance line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_line

    The spool is the storage area for the line. It has a hub and two flanges, which prevent the line from falling off the sides of the hub. The size of the spool and the thickness of the line together determine the length of line the reel can hold, though this is also affected by how neatly the line is wound onto the spool. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel

    A reel is a tool used to store elongated and flexible objects (e.g. yarns/cords, ribbons, cables, hoses, etc.) by wrapping the material around a cylindrical core known as a spool. Many reels also have flanges (known as the rims ) around the ends of the spool to help retain the wrapped material and prevent unwanted slippage off the ends.

  7. Anti-twister mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-twister_mechanism

    The anti-twister or antitwister mechanism is a method of connecting a flexible link between two objects, one of which is rotating with respect to the other, in a way that prevents the link from becoming twisted.

  8. Bimini twist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimini_twist

    A Bimini twist loop is stronger than the line itself. It is one of the rare knots that does not weaken the line in which it is tied. [citation needed] It is a simple method of doubling your fishing line in order to prevent chafing or to create the necessary loop in order to attach a wind-on leader without using strength in the mainline. For use ...

    Longlines are usually operated from specialised boats called longliners. They use a special winch to haul in the line, and can operate in deeper waters targeting pelagic species such as swordfish, tuna, halibut and sablefish. Deadline [21] - is the practice of leaving the baited line without a rod (usually over night) and returning for the fish ...
