Disgarding of Line

Hi Gents

I decided not to Hi jack a tread and start my own.

I hate when fishing line is left on the bank or on trees- if it can be prevented. We all have seen birds die or parts getting amputated by line left where the guys had fished.

What is the best way og getting rid of line when you are fishing and when you respool your reels?

I chuck mine in the bin after cutting it into 5cm strips. it is really easy as it is normally coiled, so I just cut it with kitchen scissors at two places. I know some people burn it?

When I remove line from my reels I spool it back on the wheel it came and keep it for when I do work at home and need to make a line or if I don’t keep it then I also cut it in to small strips and dump them in the bin

I also cut the line into short strips of about 4-5cm. .45 line and bigger I heat in the mikrowave to break down the "streach" and othe compound a little to lessem the impact on the dump site'

Salvagable line goes back on the spool it came from and found its way with used hooks to the youngsters here in Khayelitsha where I work. Have seen
Some of them sitting at Monwabisi swimmingpool.Keep them out of trouble and occupied. If you come across them and they are not tidy where they fish drop me a pm I'll sort him out. They know where they stand with me and what to do with the line they cannot use anymore.

Spool jou katrol by die huis, nie langs die dam of rivier nie (het al rolle ou lyn so kry lê). Dit vat ook niks van jou af om jou en ander lyn wat jy sien rondlê op te tel, in jou tackle bag te druk en by die huis weg te gooi nie. 

Veral vir beginners is dit 'n goeie idee om met braid te vang. Sou jy afbreek bly net die 1 - 1.5m leader in die water agter, nie die 200m wat mens gewoonlik in die water en bome sien hang nie.

There are very few things that pis me off more than a little roll of line lying next to broken beer bottles and take away boxes next to the water. Pleaple like that should be castrated with the line they left behind.

Good tip Generaal, I aways spool my reels at home. It wastes good fishing time doing it at the water.

Unfortunatly we all leave line behind when we break off but there is a diffrence between disgarding line or any rubbish where you where fishing. We have all seen this and I think most of us have taken people on if we see this.

Snorre I think it is an awesome idee to share your line with the less fortunate and in the same sentence to teach them how real fishermen handle their line. I take my hat of to you.

If it is in a roll you just cut throug all the coils at onceon both sides of the coil and that leeves you with 5cm stubs. Would rather burn 300m of line than try and cut it length by length

Sorry what did you say?  :fbash   ...   I did not hear you the first time.  :lol:1

Just kidding  ...  will give it a go. I have a Stren hand held line stripper.

I also have a shaft with an empty spool which you fit into a drill and use to strip the reel - but then the line ends up on the empty spool - either throw away or give to someone who can use it.
