 |

| The spinning reel came already set up; now I must get the line to go through the spinning thing on the bale so it works properly. I cannot figure this out, and it didn't come with instructions. How do I properly thread the line through the mechanism? Can anyone tell me in simple instructions or provide a link with pictures? This was a fathers day gift I'd like to get working! Thank you! |

| Open the bail on the reel and leave it open. Pull the line up and thread it through the guides of the rod starting at the bottom. Once the line goes through the tip top guide, pull out some extra line and close the bail. |

| I think I've had this same problem. Look at the bale wire. At one end of it, there should be a little "nut". Make sure your line goes under that "nut". It's that nut that will unravel the line off of the spool. As you drag the line through the eyelets, the real should spin. This can be tricky because the real could a little out of control. Try lying the rod down and take your time. Once you put the line through the last eyelet, tie a wieght or attach a bobber to the line, so that it does not fall back through the eyelets. |
