Line lay on Daiwa
Spooled up my Sol II 2004 with some 3lb FC Sniper today - line lay looks terrible in that it's fuller at the top of the spool than the bottom.
1) How do I utilise the spacers that come with the reel to fix this? 2) Do I want slightly more line in the middle, bottom, top of the spool, or a very even lay? Any and all help appreciated - here's a picture which is hopefully clear.

Presumably I need to unspool and respool the line now... Also I think I posted this in the wrong section. Sorry guys, should have been in the "Setting Up Your Gear" section.

I believe for Flouro the way your line is spooled there is perfect it actually helps with casting flouro. That is a common feature with daiwa spools and they're designed to do that (ABS Spool) Infact reels like the new IGNIS type R's ABS spool is actually shaped to give a slightly more pronounced V, so line lays like that as the IGNIS is a designed for Flourocarbon. but if you want it more evenly spread add a spacer that comes with your reel and Re-spool and see if that evens it up.
But I think that line lay actually looks pretty good and wouldn't change it. Last edited by redfinfisho; 16-07-2014 at 10:24 AM.

Agree with RFF. Looks good to me. Also if you look at the two plat picks posted up by Monstaf1sh, the correct spooling shows a slight taper becoming thicker at the top spool lip. Looks the same as yours mate, with exception to perhaps a small bite at the bottom, but that's not as pronounced as the megabass pic once again.

I would consider that as perfect line lay, the reversed taper should help to prevent issue during casting.

Daiwas lay their line in the V shape to thow the linenout over the lip to reduce drag ... a side eddect is that loose coils tighten up before they become tangles ..
There is no thing as a wind knot - they are caused by turning the handle to flip the bail arm and bad line lay. I load all my shimanos in the same shape and never get tangles

definitely don't try and take it off and re-spool, you will get a ton of line twist which will give you more trouble than you care to imagine.

Thanks for the feedback. It's probably right then!

taking it off will not cause any issues at all.
you take it if and reload it if you like ... then get a friend to pull the same amount of line out that you would normally cast... tell them to drop the line the you point the rod at the line and wind the line in through your fingers to give slight tension on the spool.... the line will untwist itself easy... i run line out behind the yak at the end of each session and i never have tangles ... that and the V taper make sure of that.
