    • Take this time to pull some of the fishing line free from the spool. Make sure it comes loose easily as you pull upwards.

    • If you feel a snag at any time, your thread may have a knot. At this point, it is easier to cut your thread below the knot and re-thread your fishing pole with the rest of the line.

    • To re-tighten the thread you loosened in the previous steps, simply turn the fishing handle in a clockwise motion.

    • This will cause the small pegs to protrude back out of the inner mechanism and catch the thread, thus pulling and spinning the line back onto the spool.

    • Your fishing line should now be free of slack and your reel should be fully reassembled.

    • To test your pole, take it outside to a open area and gently cast it. It should cast in a fluid motion with no blockage in the line.

    • If the line smoothly releases, you have fixed the kink in your line. If your line snags, preventing the pole to cast smoothly, repeat the previous steps to find the blockage.
