Not enough line to fill reel.

[Ash4100]

Hi.

 

I bought 300m of 15lb daiwa sensor mono line. I thought this would be just enough to fill my wychwood exorcist reel. However I ran out of line about 2mm from the lip. Will it affect it in any way as it is only slightly off. If so how will it be affected?

A lot depends on how you are going to be fishing.....

If you were surface fishing, freelining, or using a very light lead, then you are going to notice more of an effect than if you were lobbing a heavy lead, PVA bag etc. some distance.

Obviously it's all about friction, and the heavier rig is going to help overcome that to a certain extent.

But, not being funny, if it bothers you too much I'd be inclined to buy a bulk spool (1,000m) and re-spool?

Daiwa Sensor is one of the cheapest lines around, you can pick up a bulk spool on the bay for under £8.00.

For peace of mind I'd buy one and re-spool.

I reckon you have it about right, it wont jump off and tangle.

There is that of course!!

Yes mate, undoing the Gordion knot in the darks a real pain.

It's not always easy in daylight either.
