JjcAngler Posted February 2, 2020 Report Posted February 2, 2020 Hi. I've recently purchase 2 new reels and tried to load the spool up with 15lb line. The line seems to be loading more to the top rather than equally. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance Quote
gazmc Posted February 2, 2020 Report Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Something in the back of my mind tellsme that there used to be washers provided with new reels. Depending how many washers were used would determing wether the line laid towrds the front of the sp[ool, rear of the spool or even across the spool. The washers may already be placed on the spindle under the spool. If you bought the reels new did you get any info/instructions to look at. Gaz Edited February 2, 2020 by gazmc Quote
elmoputney Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Did this ever get resolved? I am still having a similar issue and was wondering if a solution was ever found? Quote

elmoputney Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Thanks Ian I can't find the box at the moment my garage is still a massive mess, hopefully it will turn up, I could take my reel to work though, there is quite a range of washers there hopefully I can find one that fits, I did look earlier there are no washers on it at present so that may be why it isn't working well, it seems to be loading more at both ends and less in the middle like the spool is concaved carpyian 1 Quote
