Whenever I take a fresh spool of line out for the first time, Ill also tie on a heavy jig or large plug for the first cast regardless of the target species

Most anglers set drag to 2030% of line strength Example: 30lb line = drag around 810 lbs This gives enough resistance to set the hook while still allowing a fish to run without breaking the line

Step 2: Preparing for the New Handle Clean the Area: With the handle off, its a great opportunity to take a soft brush or cotton swab and clean any accumulated dirt or old grease from around the drive shaft and the side plate of the reel
