Flipping your braid on your reel..... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I call it end for ending. We would do it on ships with the mooring cables. I end for end braid to get more mileage out of it. I just use some of my older rockcod reels to stow the line. Wind it onto an old 9/0 reel, then on to a 6/0, then back onto the original reel it was on and Walla, the bottom braid line is now the top, and the dried out topline is now at the bottom of the spool.

Top 1 becomes bottom 1. Bottom 1 becomes top2 .top 2 becomes bottom 2 and back on reel
By gorge your right I didn't think that far ahead
You just need 3 reels that's alot easier I can't think that far ahead thanks

For the guy that doesn't have extra big reels with the space 😎

I usually use a couple of empty line spools and an electric screw driver to juggle the line. Empty the reel on one spool, empty that on the other and then back on the reel. works fairly well.

Works great. I've been using that method for years...so simple
