How do I replace the line on my Zebco spincast reel?

Why does my spincast reel not reel in?

• I cast the line and begin to reel the big daddy in and the line just sits there doesnt move but everything is in motion but the line. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

  spincast? like zebco 202 or 404 or 33? try reeling it in and while you are reeling it in pull on the line as it comes out of the top of the reel - it should catch and start reeling it in. spinning has a bail - spincast has a plastic piece over it and the assembly underneath that drops down and moves the line to reel it in... you might try cleaning it and lubricating it after you remove the cover so you can see the line. Make sure the nut on top of the piece that moves when you turn the handle is tightened....
