a sudden you feel a tug at your line. You immediately spring up ready for action.
You and this fish are having an epic battle. Then suddenly your line snaps. At first
you are aggravated. Then you remembered you knew how to reline your pole with
a stronger line to prepare for the next round.

Getting Started
To get started on relining your fishing pole, take off the old line and discard it
properly. Then gather all of your materials.
1. Starting at the tip, feed the new line through each of the guides down the rod
2. Continue feeding the new line down the rod and then stop once you have
reached the reel
3. Once the line has been pulled through all the guides, feed it through the
guide that is inside the reel
