I don't realy bother with any specific knot Mark as I never empty the reel.

My line is attached to the spool with a little bit of Gaffer tape. No need for a knot - you will never cast that far and if you get a fish big enough to strip that much line a knot isn't goig to stop it. Little bit of tape in the centre of the spool also gives better spool balance than a knot.
Other thing is when I replace the line I always leave the last 100 yards or so on the spool, probably replacing only 180 odd yards. Then it's just a case of joining the new line to old with a double uni-knot. I've always loaded my reels up to the lip and the only time I've got to the knot is when practice casting...
mark put line round spool and and bring up parralell with line and do three turns around line as you put line through loop, it then creates another loop then put end through second loop and pull tight then cut tag off , hope i have explained it ok

Thanks lads. As I said I used sellotape, which I felt was a bit amateurish. I understand the knot now, so thank you.
I should have thought of leaving some line on mind you :red:
And thank you Ian but, Lynn can't do knots, or casting, I have to cast for her, which makes it all the more galling when she catches all the bloody fish!
Plus with a fixed spool reel I am a very good caster actually Ian
Thanks again lads.

No problem mate though ppl often say I'm to kind like
And just to abate your concern, I reckon 52 is senior especially if viewed through the eyes of a youngin, It's just a matter of coming to terms with the fact that yer turning into an auld codger
