Rigging a Fishing Rod and Reel | BoatUS

Fishing editor Lenny Rudow teaches BoatUS Magazine's associate editor Charles Fort how to rig his first fishing rod and reel. You'll learn the differences between monofilament and braid fishing line and when to use each one. You'll also find out how to know what size line you need for your specific setup. Lenny gives you a great tip for having the tackle shop spool up your reel for you using a spooler. And he teaches you how to attach the leader to the line with a uni-to-uni knot and then how to attach the lure to the leader using a fisherman's or improved clinch knot.
