   To minimize line twist, many anglers who use a spinning reel manually reposition the bail after each cast with the pickup nearest the rod to minimize line twist. Fixed spool reel operation Fixed spool reels are cast by grasping the line with the forefinger against the rod handle, opening the bale arm and then using a backward swing of the rod ...

3. Fishing tackle - Wikipedia

   A spinning reel. A fishing reel is a device used for the deployment and retrieval of a fishing line using a spool mounted on an axle. Fishing reels are traditionally used in angling. They are most often used in conjunction with a fishing rod, though some specialized reels are mounted on crossbows or to boat gunwales or transoms. The earliest ...

4. Uni knot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni_knot

   The uni knot is widely used for attaching hooks, rings and swivels to the end of the line [7] and it is also used for joining two fishing lines together. [8] The bend form of the uni knot (for joining two lines) is not a noose; rather it is akin to a multiple fisherman's knot with the two opposing knotted parts arranged in the manner of uni knots.

   Then without any pause, the rod is immediately returned to its original position. The left hand operates on a separate brain, taking up slack line as it becomes available, while always preserving a little slack. From the angler's standpoint, the delivery is a non-stop series of rhythmic strokes that jerk the lure by snapping slack line.

6. Reel - Wikipedia

   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. Fishing rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_rod

   The line weight of a fishing rod describes the optimal tension along the fishing line the rod is designed to handle, usually expressed in pounds or kilograms. A fishing line's "breaking weight" describes the maximum tensile force that can be exerted before the line breaks apart, while the line weight for a rod describes as the extent of bending ...

8. Fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_line

   Backing is the rearmost section of the fishing line and typically used only to "pad up" the spool of the fishing reel, in order to prevent unwanted slippage between the mainline and the (usually metallic and well polished) spool surface, increase the effective radius of the spooled line and hence the retrieval speed (i.e. inches per turn), and ...

9. 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.
