faker Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) Hi gents, need some help spool is laying line top and bottom of reel more at same time. I don't think adding or reducing washers fixes this Not sure what to do to fix Edited July 13 by faker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 You are correct. Adding or removing washers fixes bunching at one end or the other, not at each end. Have you tried running all line off (or until it looks right on the spool), then winding back on, ensuring pressure is even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think adding or reducing washers fixes this Not sure what to do to fix I find this would be fixed you 1. tight the drag reasonably tight, like not fully tight but close to the max. 2. keep pressure while spooling by a. spool when attach the reel to a rod and pass line via at least one guide and b. use a mob covering your hand to gently press the line close to the rod. By these it should give it a good and constant pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Cutler Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I use a Ecooda line spooler. Best investment ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houdini Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I use an alvey and larger overhead to do various spooling and re-spooling jobs. new line onto alvey then adjust alvey drag pressure to wind line onto reel. have the alvey on 1/2 a rod on the ground and put your feet on the rod to hold in place and only use half a rod to wind onto new reel or if 1 piece don't go through all the runners turn line around on a reel by winding it off onto overhead reel first then onto alvey, then as above, now the newer line is on top 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Rice Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 They sound like good techniques. I wet the corner of an old towel and use that to grip the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganguddy Goodoo Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 My son has the same problem with his Nasci. It has been a great reel otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling line through any cloth, wet or not, is not recommended, try this just for fun, get some (say) 10kg mono, get someone to hold it tight between their hands, get some cloth, a handkerchief (if anyone still has one) grip the line between the cloth with your fingers and run it back and forth quickly………the line will just part in an instant, wet the line/cloth and do it again….same result, but it takes a second longer.

Fried Rice Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Sorry should have specified that I now exclusively use braid. I wouldn't use this technique with mono. My father always used to use a handkerchief, makes me gag just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Drop your spool of new line in bucket of water with a screwdriver or tent peg to hold it straight wind on reel with finger pressure wet line wont burn your fingers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
