Just bought my first rod and I'm struggling to line the rod. I'm spinning it like the video I'm watching said but the spool itself isn't spinning the thread.
You missed the most important part, you have to flip the bail open before you tie the line to the spool, then close it and start reeling. That’s what wraps the line on.

Yeah, what fishin413 said. The spool itself doesn’t spin on a spinning reel, but the bail wraps the line onto it as it rotates.

We’ve all been here, and it’s never not funny to see. 🤣

You can either retie it or spool it by hand then pass the line under the bail
