Does it include the fishing line or do you have to spool it once you get it? If so, any idea how much line there is?

It does include line, lures, sinkers, hooks and a swivel to get started. It even has a practice weight to get the feel of it. I have never unreeled all the line but I have cast it out about 30 yards and did not reach the end.

It includes the fishing line installed with weight. and a hidden compartment in handle with a lure, bobber and holding strap.

The pocket fisherman comes with fishing line. Looks to be around 8-12 lb test, inexpensive monofilament. Not sure how much line there is, but it is more than enough to start fishing immediately. Grab some tackle, stuff a few jigs or hooks into the handle storage compartment, and you are set for some quick fishing fun! This is a handy gadget, but it will never replace a nice rod and reel combo. Just do it for the fun of it.

Yes it does come with a small spool. Be advised this unit (at the time of my purchase) has a problem with the kill switch. (the switch on the handle) It was remaining closed (default was supposed to be open to allow the engine to run) and not allow the unit to start. Be advise - the unit is GREAT .. outside of the issue where you cannot start it. So.. I would not buy from Green again.. as they have no support structure and I really do not like buy parts (spark plug broken out of box, and kill switch) for a brand new unit I cannot return.

it comes with nothing. I bought this for my grandson and bought line to attach to the trap, also, there is no place to put the bait. when they tried to tie the bait into the trap it was stolen every time. Sorry, they did not like this trap at all.

My main complaint with this spool is that it only has one line feed. Can I buy a spool with 2? The single line feed seems to just swirl the grass around but not cut it so well - I think this would be solved by a double feed.

No the reel does not come with line.You can get an extra spool from replacementparts.com for $17.87 but you have to put line on yourself.

No line. and that is a good thing. You know line is a personal thing-fisherman's choice.

I have been using braided line and it works well. However, I have been just back into fishing for a little over a year so it might help to talk to someone else. I like the reel, though, and would recommend it whole-heartedly!

i would save your $ and just buy 100lb fishing line. The OOK wire is difficult to use.

The unit comes with one spool of line in place ready to go. There are no spare spools or extra line.

I just went to walmart bought a 100' line for 4 bucks, and when it was empty I saved it and put the spool on the ground and wind it around the small 100' dispenser, much easier. It takes a spool or two for my corner yard, much better.

I haven't even put line on mine yet (it did not come pre-spooled) but at the base of the rod it says " 8' 6" Downrigger Med Heavy Line Wt. 8-20 lbs."The reel lists the following capacities " 18/460 20/355 25/275 " . Like I say I haven't used it but it seems like a quality combo. I especially like the depth counter on the reel which I wasn't expecting.

no-comes only with one installed; I regret buying it--it is very heavy, cheaply made and hard to work with because of the weight and poor quality of the materials (practically have to break it open to get the spool out to replace the line...better luck to you

You need to decide what breaking strain of line you are using, what kind of fishing, and what your budget is. Let me know and I will try and help you. :)

I bought this reel about a year ago. I believe it comes with a # 5 or 6 line. This is a entry level reel. Great for small fish such as panfish.

there were 5 spools included with mine. I don't know how much line is on each spool, but they are tiny, so not a whole lot, I've trimmed and cleaned up my lawn (1/4 acre, 2 40ft long driveways, 50 ft of sidewalk at the street) 10 times and used 4 spools.

Yes...but when you order it make sure you pay attention. ..the model # accompanied by the word "-SPOOL" is the spool only. ..i purchased this reel and I love it!

I was fishing for sharks off the outer banks and ended up hooking a large stingray (8ft wingspan) and estimated to be between 300-400lbs. I cranked the drag all the way after 3 hours and after 4-1/2, it finally came in. This line is incredible.
