2 things that helps is #1 don't over fill the spool. the reel in the above picture is way over filled. you should have at least 1/8" of spool showing. #2 is always close the bail by hand ex specially if the wind is blowing. your line gets loops in it then you reel line on top of the loop. when you cast the line going off the reel catches the loop pulling all the line on top of the loop off at one time causing a birds nest. just try not filling the spool so full and closing the bail by hand and see if it doesn't help.View attachment 281575 I have a Daiwa Aird reel that is probably 4 years old and I’ve never really been able to get the line to go on the spool evenly. Today was especially frustrating because I had to sit and fix rats nests of loops 4 times. When I got home I ran the line down the street and cranked it all the way in with some tension on it but it still isn’t even. Is there an adjustment I can make?
I think if the line was spooled evenly it wouldn’t look over full. It’s no more full than the spools in the video but the fact that it’s all at the top of the spool isn’t helping. I do always close the bail by hand so that shouldn’t be an issue.2 things that helps is #1 don't over fill the spool. the reel in the above picture is way over filled. you should have at least 1/8" of spool showing. #2 is always close the bail by hand ex specially if the wind is blowing. your line gets loops in it then you reel line on top of the loop. when you cast the line going off the reel catches the loop pulling all the line on top of the loop off at one time causing a birds nest. just try not filling the spool so full and closing the bail by hand and see if it doesn't help.
