Double line winding


Usually the coil is divided lengthwise into 2 parts by a running partition. You need to take the fishing line from the skein and wind it in one half in order to measure the capacity with the selected cord diameter. You need to wind so much that the lace does not protrude. As soon as half is full, you need to wind the line back, remembering the used footage. You should cut the cord exactly 2 times longer than fit on the half of the coil.
