Problem: Article: On spinning reels, the bail is the little wire arm hanging off the reel. Lift the line up to open the bail, and lift it down to close the bail. Unwrap any old line still in place. Baitcasters don’t have a bail, so you won’t need to do this step. The line guides are the small loops hanging off the underside of the rod. Start at the far end of the rod, pushing the line through the loops and towards the reel. For a Baitcaster rod, look for a little hole in the reel. You’ll also need to run the line through this guide to get it into the bail. Wrap the end of the fishing line over the spool, which is the indentation in the middle of the reel. Bring the end of the line back towards you and tie the line together in an arbor knot. An arbor knot is done by first tying an overhand knot. Tie a second overhand knot at the free end of the line. Then pull both knots tight against the reel. Pull the wire arm as far down as it will go. This locks the line in place. If the line comes undone, you’ll need to lift up the bail and redo the knot. Make note of the direction the bail rotates, since the line needs to be loaded in the same direction. Drop the spool of new fishing line on the floor with the label facing upwards and adjust the position of the rod so the line can be loaded correctly..  For example, if your bail rotates clockwise, stand to the left of the spool so the line  wraps clockwise around it. For Baitcaster rods, you’ll need to stick a pencil through the spool and have someone else hold it. Alternatively, purchase a reel spooler or make one by placing the spool on a screwdriver pushed through a cardboard box. Use your free hand as you hold the rod in your other hand. You’ll need to maintain constant pressure. If the line feels taut and doesn’t tangle going onto the reel, you’re holding it correctly. Continue gripping the line as you crank the handle. 15-20 rotations is enough to load the line into the reel. Make sure you keep an eye on the line so it doesn’t load with knots or tangles. You’ll have to unspool the line to fix this. For knots or tangles, gently pull the line back off the reel. Tug on the loop of line in the tangled part and it’ll unravel. Let go of the line and watch it drop towards the ground. You’ll immediately notice any twists or loops in the line. To compensate, flip the spool of new fishing line so that the label faces the ground. Make sure the line continues to load in the same direction the bail rotates! Pinch the line again between your thumb and index finger so it stays straight, then rotate the rod’s crank. Load the line until the reel is almost full. The line should be about 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) below the spool's rim. Cut the line to detach it from the new spool to finish. Simply place a rubber band around the line on the reel to hold it in place. If your reel has a tab on the side, wrapping the line around it will also hold everything in place.
Summary: Open the bail by lifting the wire arm. Run the new line through the line guides. Knot the line on the reel spool. Close the bail by lowering the wire arm. Crank the rod’s handle to figure out which way the bail rotates. Lightly grip the line between your thumb and your index finger. Turn the rod’s handle 15-20 times. Drop the line to test it for tangles. Fill the rod’s spool until it’s almost full. Secure the line to the reel with a rubber band.

Problem: Article: Pocket camcorders are compact, lightweight digital video cameras that are easy to use. Pocket camcorders are a great option if you’re looking for something inexpensive that can capture videos of moments like family vacations and birthdays. One downside to pocket camcorders is the low lens quality, so if you’re looking to shoot professional-grade videos, they’re probably not for you. Action cameras are compact digital video cameras that allow you to shoot hands-free, high-definition videos. Most action cameras come with attachable components that let you mount them on bikes, helmets, and other outdoor gear, making them a great option if you want to record yourself doing different outdoor activities. Action cameras are durable, and many models are built to withstand impacts and water damage. Professional digital video cameras are much more expensive than their smaller, simpler counterparts, but if you’re a professional videographer, it may be worth the investment. Professional video cameras are able to capture videos with great quality that are suited for things like broadcasts, documentaries, and music videos. They come with a wide range of manual controls that let you tweak and perfect your shots. If you’re not familiar with using the manual controls on a digital video camera, a professional video camera might not be for you. Cinema cameras can record high-quality footage fit for the big screen, but they come with a high price tag and a complex set of controls. Be prepared to invest a lot of money in accessories and camera gear, and you’ll likely need a camera crew to help you record with your cinema camera. Once you know what style digital video camera you want, try out a few different models to see which one you prefer. Make sure the camera you choose is comfortable to hold. Check to see if it’s too heavy for you. If it’s a large camera with a lot of accessories, know that you’ll have to carry a lot with you whenever you travel with it. Make sure all the camcorder’s buttons and features are easy to access.
Summary:
Go with a pocket camcorder for something simple and cheap. Choose an action camera if you want to shoot videos on the go. Invest in a professional video camera if you want to shoot top-quality videos. Choose a cinema camera if you’re making feature films or commercials. Try out different cameras in the store to see what you like.
