line reel- unraveling

[HedgerowPete]

 

whats the trick to stopping these reel unraveling and making knots in the kit bag?

 

i end up useing electrical tape around the surface of the reel to hold it in place

Put the end through the center of the hoop, out the other side, under the standing line, throw a half-hitch around it. It may loosen a bit in the bag, but it will never tangle.
