Hi
Has anyone got a method for putting on new line accurately (on a fixed spool reel)?
For example say you have a spool with 8lb line on. You cant remember if you put the line on from a 100m spool or a bulk spool.
You now have a new spool of 100m of 4lb line and you want to take off enough 8 so that when you put on all the 4lb it sits perfectly 1/8th of an inch off the spool lip. So you despool enough old line, cut the line and tie on your new 4lb and wind it all on.
How? Any tricks?
Thanks all
